Sounds like Ted Kennedy, but McCain never abandoned anyone to die, and
didn't bother reporting it until he sobered up.


After the accident that involved his plane on the USS Forrestal, he climbed out of
the plane, went downstairs and eventually left. He did not offer to help fight the
fires or rescue anyone. 134 sailors died. I'm not saying he caused the accident - he
didn't. But his actions after he got clear of the scene look mighty similar to
"abandoning [some]one."

Whatever the circumstances of the firešs origins, McCain did not stay on deck to help
fight the blaze as the men around him did. With the firefighting crew virtually wiped
out, men untrained in fighting fires had to pick up the fire hoses, rescue the
wounded or frantically throw bombs and even planes over the shipšs side to prevent
further tragedy. McCain left them behind and went down to the hangar-bay level, where
he briefly helped crew members heave some bombs overboard. After that, he went to the
pilotšs ready room and watched the fire on a television monitor hooked to a camera
trained on the deck.

"Thugocracy?" Are you kidding? After the last seven years, someone failed to grok
the irony in accusing Obama of that. How ridiculous.
