From popbitch:
For anyone that didn’t know. John McCain was at the bottom of his military class at Annapolis, but still got to pilot a fighter plane due to his father’s connections. He is the son and the grandson of admirals. He finished 894 [out] of 899 in his graduating class. Despite crashing five aircraft, John McCain was never disciplined. And son-of-single-mother Obama is, of course, the privileged elitist.
Well of course. *rolls eyes*
Clearly it was too much to ask for a clean spirited election contest!
Has there ever been one of them, Perp?
I live in blind hope that one day there might be.
That’s an admirable sentiment, Perp! But I’m much too cynical for all of that!
I may decide to join you in the cynical seats
There’s not much space! I might have to sit on your knee!
Hallelujah
eh it happens. i’m sure he tried. for all we know he may not have even wanted to be in the military and may have been pushed to do it by his father, but is proud now that he got through it. there’s always two sides to a story, afterall.
Yes, my point wasn’t so much about McCain’s failings but his evident over-privilege when that tag is so often thrown at Obama.
