(26,262 posts)1. Why does anyone listen to John McCain??
His record as a pilot was abysmal. His judgment as a presidential candidate, even more so. He has spent years contradicting himself. Again, he needs to retire and STFU.

He hasn't changed much since then.

He is a product of irresponsible nepotism. If not for this, his Navy career probably would never have survived the Forrestal catastrophe.

(32,003 posts)5. Say what you want about McCain
but he had nothing to do with the Forrestal other than being present. That has been debunked countless times.

(23,664 posts)4. He's the living contradiction of the Peter Principle
He reached his level of incompetence 50 years ago and kept on getting promoted.
He has absolutely nothing to add to the debate and he spends hours doing it.

It's Panamanian strongman Crash McCain.
