Or ask him if, after his daily prayers, he then says his daily thankyou to the vietmanese fisherman who saved his napalming ass from that lake he crashed into, or his captors during his imprisonment for sparing his life. Imagine what American farmers would have done to a captured browned skinned pilot in, say, Alabama.

Why not ask the candidate’s wife, Cindy, about her drug escapades?

“Cindy McCain, the wife of U.S. Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, admitted in a series of media interviews Monday that she became addicted to the painkillers Percocet and Vicodin. She said that she used the drugs from 1989 to 1992 and acknowledged that she had stolen some pills from the American Voluntary Medical Team, a charitable organization of which she is president . . . at one point, McCain, 40, was ingesting 15 to 20 pills a day . . . the normal dosage for seriously ill patients is 6 to 10 a day for a short period.”
The Arizona Republic – August 24, 1994

Or asking Johnny boy about his traitorous actions when he was a POW?

“Within days of his release, McCain wrote the following account of his captivity, which was published in U.S. News and World Report – May 14, 1973:
“I think it was on the fourth day [after being shot down] that two guards came in, instead of one. One of them pulled back the blanket to show the other guard my injury. I looked at my knee. It was about the size of a football . . . when I saw it, I said to the guard, ‘O.K., get the officer’ . . . an officer came in after a few minutes. It was the man that we came to know very well as ‘The Bug.’ He was a psychotic torturer, one of the worst fiends that we had to deal with. I said, ‘O.K., I’ll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.’”

“Reds Say PW Songbird Is Pilot Son of Admiral
. . . Hanoi has aired a broadcast in which the pilot son of United States Commander in the Pacific, Adm. John McCain, purportedly admits to having bombed civilian targets in North Vietnam and praises medical treatment he has received since being taken prisoner.” Saigon-UPI, June 4, 1969

Correction: Chelsea was never asked to justify her father’s philandering. She was asked if her mother’s response to the issue hurt her credibility. There is a big difference, and the question she was asked is precisely the business of the electorate.

I can’t tell from the clip of the second incident but the first time, the question was not, “What do you think about your father’s affair,” but more like, “Your mother swore with great authority at the time that your father’s trouble was just the vast right-wing conspiracy in action and she was wrong, wrong, wrong. Does she have any credibility now?” I thought that was a dumb question but not an off-bounds one. Any wife wants to believe her lying husband’s version of things, no matter how transparent it is to the rest of us. My point on the first question was that Chelsea should have anticipated fielding the topic of Monica Lewinsky on campaign stops and been prepared. My point on the second question is that I’m so tired of all this crap — the bad question itself, and the Clinton stonewalling — and this is why the prospect of Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea back in the White House again just makes me weary.

Sorry Jen, but swearing in under oath and then lying is not having integrity. Not by a long shot.

Not to worry Jen, I’m sure future Presidents will simply refuse to go under oath like Bush has done.

Bash Clinton all you want but at least he had the integrity to get sworn in.

Our government is a joke.
