McCain the Brain with the Superplane

We’ve come a long way from, “I retire from the great theatre of action”; and, “A republic, if you can keep it.” To, “I have been tested”, so said the John McCain.

Sadly, when the President handed back his test paper, the score of 2.0 was circled in red. In a class where any score less than 80% is failing.

McCain claims cooling his heels in the cockpit, parked on the flight deck of the U.S.S. Enterprise (“Beam me up Scotty”) waiting to do his part for World War Three is the same as what politicians vainly call “being tested”.

Perhaps McCain means he might have taxied off the flight deck of the Enterprise and into the sea. There would have been no repercussions. The three planes he lost as an aviator would have become four, four planes he lost before he ever went to Vietnam. It was three. Phew, lucky.

The eight stars belonging to his daddy and granddaddy trump three lost planes every time.
