In the Humble Opinion of LittleBill, Socialist, Atheist, and Humanist
Watching McCain Revealed

I watched this program on CNN tonight for the second time. But this time I watched it more closely, and he really revealed himself to me.

Of course, since this was a program filmed to advertise the man and his life, it was not meant to concentrate on peripheral figures, but it brought to the fore his most loathesome characteristics.

He was, and is, a spoiled brat who is consumed with his own courage and nobility. He wasn’t the only one to suffer in a war, and surely others have suffered more. But he manages to smile his little courageous smile every time his exploits, whether noble or ignoble, are discussed. All of us have made mistakes of varying degrees, for which most of us carry a commensurate amount of guilt thereafter.

But the thing that really cooked it for me was when he was asked about the breakup of his first marriage. He expressed no regret for his betrayal of his first wife, simply said “I take full responsibility,” and smiled his little smile of courage and nobility.

He is a spoiled Brat! I am not convinced of his courage or heroism! Too much has come out as to his complicity with his captors and them supplying him with whores.
That is why he would never speak against them. And hell even GW said he is no hero he just got shot down and I agree!
