Don’t join military, McCain warns women

[MADem]

9. I don't mean to be rude, but McCain was renowned as a (rhymes with bore, starts with a w) master

on the Hill when he was Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs. That's not 'my' term, it's one that was used to refer to him back in the day, usually by near-peers and juniors, with a note of admiration in their voices (again, not an endorsement, I am just reporting, here).

I'm sure some of his "conquests" wore uniforms, too. He also blazed a trail through the civilian contingents as well.

He was a pig who cut a wide, alcohol-fueled swathe. It's why his wife was happy to give him that divorce--she said he wanted to be 18 again--and she didn't.

I find it odd that all of a sudden he's such a prude about women in the military; perhaps, because, in hindsight, he believes they need to be protected...from people like HIM?

What shitty, lazy, sloppy reporting--Bob Dole was a Presidential candidate, he's alive, and he got the Purple Heart. In fact, he got TWO of them. So McCain is not "the only living ex-presidential candidate other than John Kerry to have been decorated with the Purple Heart."
