Is this now the 'McCaine' mutiny against family values and American ethics?

"The Caine Mutiny is a 1951 Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Herman Wouk. The novel grew out of Wouk's personal experiences aboard a destroyer-minesweeper in the Pacific in World War II and deals with, among other things, the moral and ethical decisions made at sea as interpreted by the code of the US Navy. The story also draws heavily on the 1789 mutiny against Captain William Bligh, commander of the HMS Bounty.
----

Captain Queeg (McCain) "is soon regarded as a coward and incompetent, after running away from combat, losing a gunnery training target by running over the ship's towline while disciplining a sailor and the morale officer, for having a shirtail hanging out."

--
DUers might rightly question calling McCain a coward, but consider how inefectual his actions have been in stopping the criminal bush administration from torturing and performing illegal acts against prisoners. This combined with a relation with a lobbyist whore makes him just as bad as the drunken coke-head warmonger bush.

1. Will Jeb have to be brought in from the wings to save the party...
and keep a Bush in the WH to protect the "state secrets" information of the present Bush administration?
