For starters, Memorial Day isn’t really the day for hyperpartisanship on either side.

McCain is not a “Tailhook” guy, not in the infamous sense, and no serious person has ever claimed he was.

The rest of your innuendoes about the guy’s private life are not worthy of much comment.

In my view, private lives are basically off limits when it comes to politics. It’s not a road that either side should go down.

That’s cute Bill, but mccain publicly admitting he was a bit of a ‘wild&crazy’ young rascal at Annapolis is like bill clinton confessing to a craving for cigars – that ain’t the half of it for either of them, is it?

the reason mccain – the son AND grandson of US Navy 4-star Admirals – was told that he had no career left in the US Navy a few years after he returned from years as a POW in Hanoi was not because he was a ‘rascal’ at Annapolis.

Turns out mccain was playing Tailhook partyboy and boffing every blond bimbo (including some subordinates — female at least) within 100 miles of Pensacola [aside: do you realize how many blond bimbos there ARE in south florida?] while still married to his by-then disfigured ex-model wife.
