I read "From My Position..." a blog by Chuck Z. everyday. I've added him to my links. Carren is Chuck's lovely wife. If you had any doubts about McCain's fitness to lead... I hope this clears them up:
What Carren thinks of Senator McCain
Okay, folks. Here's the post Chuck said I owe you. Hopefully your waiting will be worth it and you'll "appreciate" the wait. Here goes... I am not responsible for any cuss words or really pissy comments - I'll try to keep it PG rated.Senator is not a word I would use for McCain. JERK (or asshat, as Chuck usually says) is more like it. When Chuck was in the hospital, Jerk came to "visit" us. A quick story before I tell you what happened:A few weeks before Chuck was wounded I watched a TV movie that protrayed Jerk's time as a POW during Vietnam. I was intrigued by the story and developed a lot of respect for what he endured, and the fact that his wife waited all those years for him to return home. I knew bits and pieces of the story before watching the movie, and I knew his arms were badly damaged due to the torture he received. I had a lot of respect for the man... then I met him.When he first walked in I was honored to meet him. He shook my hand and Alice's hand, then walked over to Chuck's bedside. After a lousy 5 minutes or so, the Jerk said (and I quote):"Well, we all know what we're here for... let's do the photo op."EXCUSE ME!!!??? The PHOTO OP???!!!! I was so beyond pissed I wanted to wrestle the Jerk to the ground and kick his ass - over and over and over again! I was so stunned by his comment that all I could do to save my dignity and not stoop to his incredibly LOW level, I walked out of the room. The Jerk's photographers took some pictures and he left. I didn't even say good-bye when he walked out... I was full of rage and anger. And as Chuck can tell you, NO ONE wants to talk to me when I am that state!!!The fact that this Jerk is a veteran, a former POW, and now calls himself a Senator, I simply could not believe what happened. Every time I hear the man's name I get tense. Of all the shitty things that happened while Chuck was in the hospital, this was the topper for me. If a man like the Jerk thinks he'd make a good president, he better do some serious soul searching. He claims to support our troops, but the experience we had with him shows me he's full of shit. The fact that he said this kind of thing to my husband pisses me off to no end... but I wonder how many other wounded troops he said this to? Hopefully none... for the troops' sake.Well, that's the story. I could go on and on about how much I despise the Jerk, but he's not worth my time and energy.Until next time...Carren

Broken link to Chuck Z's blog, Holly. Replace the comma with a period.
Thanks, AD. Done.
I used to admire John McCain until about a year ago. Since then he's no longer the McCain that moderates & independents loved in 2000, his hypocrisy is astounding, as is the fact that he's considered a front-runner for the GOP nomination.
