Press lies

John McCain is being attacked by Obama's campaign for his inability to send an e-mail. If that were true in the abstract ... it would be pathetic, a neo-trog running for President. But this accusation neatly misses the truth: he can't because he has trouble physically achieving the motions required by fingers, wrists and arms. Why might that be?

Because the Vietnamese broke them. Multiple times and without any form of medical assistance.

Randi Rhodes, a liberal talk show host, claims that McCain was well treated ... they called him the Prince." She claims that he traded propaganda interviews for good treatment. Right. We know. as absolute fact confirmed by the individuals who actually tortured him, that he was systematically tortured until he broke. McCain admits it, admits that he broke. But he was tortured because he refused to go home under the "code" which mandated that prisoners go home in the order that they arrived. If being crippled for life equates to receiving preferential treatment, I'd hate to see the results for normal treatment.

Being unable to type is not a reason why someone should be disqualified as President -- should FDR have been precluded because he couldn't hike a mountain, or climb the Capitol building steps?
