Open Letter To John McCain and Barack Obama.
OK, fuck it...I'll say exactly what you both already know:
Getting shot down, captured and tortured is not a qualification to be President.
John, deal with it. Barack, don't be a pussy!
Sincerely,
That Crazy Dude From The Norse Netherworld.

Well, yes...that's a good question. It seems Bob Shiefer does. In discussing McCain's and Obama's qualifications--as Clark was trying to do--Shiefer said Obama hadn't flown planes and been shot down...sparking the General's response, "Well, I don't think flying in planes and getting shot down is a qualification," To which you can hear Sheifer say, "Really?" As in really you don't?
This is really just pathetic, frustrating. Ah well...still a few months to go. Musn't get discouraged! Musn't...get...discouraged! (I'm trying not to, I swear!)

What I'm tired of is the obvious fear-inspired response of the McCain camp to anything that could undercut his one (supposed) advantage in the race - that somehow he actually has any credibility as a military thinker - something his actions belie in any case.
But this "I'm a victim of slurs against my valor and service" bullshit is so disingenuous, especially because everyone falls all over themselves to say how much of a hero he was, that I can't believe anyone buys into it, other than the morons on the MSM and their brainwashed viewers, of course.
But I think it's outright fighting for his political life that's at stake here, because if what Wesley Clark said was not challenged, and was recognized as true - which is is - from a very credible source - which it is - then McCain would have nothing left but tax cuts for the rich, more war, and a nice lapdog relationship with the worst president in history.
Don't take away his security blanky, General Wes. It makes him feel nekkid.
