to Carol! this was just mentioned on CNN's "McCain revealed", but I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere else! This is old news but has been brushed under the rug. Why??!!!

Why isn't the MSM talking about this or asking questions??

1. We've been wondering the same thing for months. The m$m is in
the bag for McBush, plain and simple. I'm glad to hear CNN covered it. Other than this show, I imagine no one on CNN will mention it any time soon.

5. what they don't tell you is that he was a SERIAL adulterer, from the getgo:
http://mccainiseman.wordpress.com/2008/02/25/mccains-history-of-abusing-the-public-trust/

McCain, according to Robert Timberg in his book, The Nightingale’s Song, was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather, since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path.”

While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander, the married McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and “engage in extra-marital affairs.”

This was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates. But, as with all his other past behaviors, McCain was never penalized; instead he always got away with his transgressions Timberg wrote, “Off duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or not, they became part of McCain’s persona, impossible not to take note of.”

In early 1977, Admiral Jim Holloway, Chief of Naval Operations had to deal with the embarrassment caused by McCain’s behavior. So the Admiral transferred McCain from his command position “to Washington as the number-two man in the Navy’s Senate liaison office. McCain was promptly given total control of the office. It wasn’t long before the “fun loving and irreverent” McCain had turned the liaison office into a “late-afternoon gathering spot where senators and staffers, usually from the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, would drop in for a drink and the chance to unwind.”

7. So how many times did McAsshole use his POW story to get laid?
Would he have been such a successful adulterer without his prisoner stories?

I wonder if, while he was cheating on his wife, he mentioned the cross in the sand stories to the women in his bed. And I wonder if he took those women to church with him on Sunday.. since he's such a good God fearin' christian and all.
