The POW Defense, Jay Leno Edition
August 26th, 2008 by Bob Schwartz
John McCain’s POW defense is now making the rounds on late night talks shows. His standard response to tough questions was given to Jay Leno when he was again asked about how many houses he had.
McCain: “Could I just mention to you, Jay, that, at a moment of seriousness. I spent five-and-a-half years in a prison cell. I didn’t have a house. I didn’t have a kitchen table. I didn’t have a table. I didn’t have a chair. And I didn’t spent those five-and-a-half years because, not because I wanted to get a house when I got out.
I guess you could say that the POW defense does fit on late night TV, it has been used it so much in a sentence by McCain that it is becoming a joke…
Cool.
Actually, after thinking about it, I doubt if Obama can cite racism as an excuse for anything. After all, he is where is he because he is black. If he were not black, he would be just another freshman, liberal Senator, with a very thin resume.
He is where he is because of his race, not in spite of it.
Ferraro had it right, and she was called a racist.
