John McCain is the Manchurian Candidate
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the far-right wingnuts are promulgating this idea, which means it should be dismissed immediately as batshit insane, but ...
... it's just so fucking compelling.
Sure, he's a war hero, blah blah blah. That didn't stop him from ignoring the Swiftboating of decorated war hero John Kerry, or the disgusting insinuations by the wingnuts that THREE limbs Max Cleland left in Viet Nam were somehow self-inflicted.
And, sure, he spent five years being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton. But that didn't stop him from standing by and not actually doing anything about George Bush's policies of torturing "detainees" in Abu Gharib and Gitmo and other, more secret, detention centers.
Typically, McCain talks the talk but never -- NEVER -- walks the walk.
So our new mantra should be:
"John McCain is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."
Kinda just rolls off the tongue, eh?
Now, who's dealing a deck full of Queens of Diamonds?
