Gore Vidal Says John McCain Is No War Hero

gore vidal Gore Vidal Says John McCain Is No War Hero

For a guy the NY Times affectionately labels “one of America’s last public intellectuals,” Gore Vidal might be the dumbest man alive.

In an interview with the NY Times that ran yesterday, Vidal was asked what he thought about John McCain. Here’s what was said:

…what about Mr. McCain? Disaster. Who started this rumor that he was a war hero? Where does that come from, aside from himself? About his suffering in the prison war camp?

Everyone knows he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. That’s what he tells us.

Why would you doubt him? He’s a graduate of Annapolis. I know a lot of the Annapolis breed. Remember, I’m West Point, where I was born. My father went there.

Yeah, who the hell started that rumor? I guess Gore Vidal thinks the reason John McCain can’t lift his arms above his chest is because he got stoned and fell off someone’s roof back in the day. I guess the extensive video footage of him being held by those Vietnamese looking fellas was an elaborate hoax.

If Gore Vidal wants to keep the ruse going about him being an “intellectual” he should get back on his meds immediately.

    This post is short, unresearched, and is clearly biased toward John McCain.

    Gore Vidal is right, McCain is a bum.

    Clearly biased towards McCain? So when people tell Ahmadinejad that the holocaust did in fact happen, is that being bias towards the Jews?
