Well John McCain finally passed. We were talking about him since May. Our frequent guest, co host and friend Jay from the South gave an honest history of Johnny “Wet Start.” Here are some things that we want to say.
John McCain got into the Naval Academy because of his father and grandfather, who were Navy Admirals. McCain was a disciplinary problem and should have been expelled, but daddy saved his ass. Johnny graduated almost dead last in his class. Then off to flight school where he was a problem. “Maverick” wrecked 5 taxpayer funded planes, including the one that was shot down over North Vietnam.
Before he was shot down over North Vietnam, he was on the USS Forrestal when the flight deck with ordinance and planes full of fuel caught on fire. Rumors have it that he either “wet started” his plane causing the fire, or a missile from another aircraft hit some ordinance, causing the blaze. But; there were zero stories or rumors of McCain assisting his shipmates, or doing anything to help other then dump some ordinance overboard. The Navy lost 134 sailors that day. Thanks, shipmate.
When Johnny came home, his first wife nursed him back to health. When she got into a bad car wreck, he divorced her! Then she met and married Cindy. She was the heiress to a lucrative Anheiser-Busch distributorship. She funded his campaigns to the US Senate.
As soon as he was in office, he was involved in the Keating 5 scandal, which Americans lost their life savings. McCain was a Washington insider and was no conservative. He voted against our interest more than for our interest.
In 2000 he said he was a “Maverick” an outsider, and we should vote for him for president. At this point he spent almost 20 years in Washington. He was a “Maverick” because his last name wasn’t Bush.
He started running for president again in 2007. He said he supported amnesty for illegals. At this point I left the Republican Party. He lost the election. Big time. His high point was having Sarah Palin as her running mate. He blamed Palin for his loss. He wanted CT Senator and Democrat Joe Liberman as his running mate. A cranky old Washington insider that ran one of the worst campaigns in history with zero ideas blames her young, pretty, energetic running mate. Doesn’t mention his opponent who was a young, energetic, with great slogans. Nice.
Well Johnny still remained in the Senate. This time he turned his attention to Donald Trump. Jealousy I guess. Then McCain has inoperable brain cancer. McCain said he didn’t want Trump at his funeral. Trump said no problem. But does McCain do the right thing and resign and let someone else represent Arizona? No. McCain remains in office on his deathbed until the end.
Now the media is fawning all over McCain, like he was president or a war hero. He was neither. The media is using McCain to go after Trump. The tweets, the flag half staff or full staff, all bullshit. The media trashed McCain in 2007-2008 until Obama beat him bad. America and especially Arizona is better off without Johnny “Wet Start.”
