Old John is an interesting person. In his autobiography, he tells that as a child he would explode in rage for the least important reason. He would hold his breath until he passed out to get his way.

Maybe he should try that on national TV. Might get the vote of the United Breath Holders.

John, seems to me, to be another one of those born to privlege who never gets over the fact that his daddy being important doesn't really make him important.

I also wondered about those who were POWs but never gave in like he did. Why aren't they in politics?

Maybe they learned a higher meaning for their life.

I don't think Rolling Stone likes John McCain very much. I'm even thinking that one might be a bit overstated. But McCain 2K plus 8 definitely bears no relationship to McCain 2K.

I don't want to get all Freudian here but both McCain and Bush were number three. It seems both had daddy issues. I get the feeling McCain has managed to hide his issues until now. Now, after waiting so long he can see the glittering prize receding. I think he's simply losing it and the real John McCain is standing up.

I think Bush's "daddy issues" have always been pretty apparent. I have no doubt that McCain feels a certain sense of entitlement as well as frustration. It isn't easy being the child of a person you can't surpass. In Bush's case, that was exacerbated by him being so much less capable than Jeb. I don't know how McCain stacks up against his siblings.

I think my point is that there's clearly a lot wrong with McCain, but everyone brings their own particular psychology to the presidency. Obama has his personal demons, too. The question is will those personal demons help him do a better job or impede him? They clearly impeded Bush. I don't know if they would have impeded McCain. He seems to have been capable at the tasks he's taken on, regardless of what he's become from a moral perspective. I think Obama's demons have driven him and made him better. I know people like that and they excel at everything they do.

Good find. It is a shame the left doesn't have an echo chamber similar to the right, this should be everywhere.

Dispute the facts/statements and not the source. Haven't we been told that about Faux.

Also, my post was from his autobiography, not the Stones article.

If this has any truth at all, this guy is a danger to the US.

for all we know he was joking around about the getting laid bit, and who the heck cares if a guy back from prison wants to go to a resort and get laid? His marriage was already on the skids and blah blah blah....

There are other reasons he shouldn't be president, like the fact that he seems occasionally disoriented and picks a new course every other day for his campaign. CIC? No thanks!

Illuminating? No. Entertaining, but not illuminating. All I learned is that Rolling Stone is perfectly willing to bash an American Hero. They should stick to the music industry and STFU.
