POW: Training to be president?

I forget who first characterized Rudy Guiliani's race for the GOP nomination as being based on sentences with the construction of "a noun, a verb, and 9/11," but it was brilliant. Now as many have pointed out, when John McCain feels cornered with a question, his response seems to be similar ... "a noun, a verb, and POW." His POW experience was an ordeal. As David Letterman pointed out last night on his program, John McCain should have called it a day after hs long service in the US Senate, preceded by his ordeal in Vietnam. Call him a hero. Build a statue. Just don't run for president.

Now, another Vietnam POW has come forth in a brave video to tell his story and share his thoughts on what it means to be a POW, run for president and the real John McCain. I encourage all to view this video.

Funnily enough, it was Joe Biden who made that comment about Rudy. There are times when he doesn't put his foot in it! :) And I agree with your assessment of McCain's similar behavior.

Many of us served our country. It has never bought me a loaf of bread or made me qualified to be governor or president.
