Noun, Verb, "Prisoner of War," Subject

That is basically the sentence structure being used by John McCain. One of the defenses being trotted out by his handlers for his "don't recall how many houses I have" gaffe is that McCain was a prisoner-of-war: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison."

What does that have to do with anything? Is that going to be his generic comment on every issue?

I can see it now. So let's look at what McCain could say on a variety of issues:

Mass Transit: "I wasn't permitted to ride a subway when I was a prisoner of war."

Gun Control: "They didn't let prisoners of war have guns."

Obesity: "You were certain to lose weight if you were, as I was, a prisoner of war."

Climate Change: "I didn't concern myself with climate change when I was a prisoner of war for over five years."

Health Care: "I experienced socialized medicine when I was a prisoner of war."

So, that is all he has in his intellectual arsenal? McCain is starting to appear as just another George Bush, only even more retarded.
