McCain, Leno & the Senator's Houses
August 25, 2008 8:04 PM

Don't want to stay up for the Tonight Show?

Here's Jay Leno, political reporter, from a just completed interview:

Leno: "For a million dollars, how many houses do you have?"

McCain: "Could I just mention to you, Jay, that, at a moment of seriousness. I spent five-and-a-half years in a prison cell. I didn't have a house. I didn't have a kitchen table. I didn't have a table. I didn't have a chair. And I didn't spent those five-and-a-half years because, not because I wanted to get a house when I got out. You know, I'm very proud of Cindy's father. He was a guy that barely got out of high school, fought in WW Two in the Army Air Corps, came home and made a business, and made the American dream. And so somehow, you've had Cindy on this show, and, uh, the fact is that she's extremely generous. She goes around the world doing humanitarian stuff. She's in now in Georgia as we speak, looking at the humanitarian aspects of the results of this Russian invasion. So, I'm proud of my life and my record, and we spend our time in a condominium in Washington, in a condominium in Phoenix, sometime over here in the state of California and we have a place up in northern Arizona. And, my friends, I'm proud of my record of service to this country. And it has nothing to with houses. What it has to do with putting Americans in houses and keeping in their homes. And that's what I'm gong to do."

Leno: "That sounds like five houses."

I'm serious. He would be worse than Bush if we allow him to steal the white house.

It's not like he has anything to lose politically.

If McCain tried to play this POW business up in a country like Australia- he'd have been panned and yanked off the stage long ago.

My wide stance trapped me like a POW in a cage!

but how is being a POW relevant to home ownership? How is it relevant to gold digging and having so many homes that you cannot keep them straight? Using one's military service for pure political gain is treasonous, IMO.

Gotta think like Republicans (don't think). :rofl:

That fucking War Monger still thinks that is going to fly?

Sit back down in your rocking chair dough-boy and take your meds.

Yet this guy has no problem whatsoever resorting to it any chance he gets, especially when he needs an excuse. As if being a POW is supposed a shield to any criticism.

They shy away from it and instead say that the men they served with, particularly the ones who didn't come back, are the real heroes. McCain, on the other hand, consistently brags about his courage and time as a POW. I find that interesting.

he's tempting fate I tell ya.

Unfricking believable.

People are going to get tired of McCain bringing up being a POW. Didn't Republicans go after Kerry in 2004 when he brought up his service? Why does McCain get a free pass? :shrug:
