It is amazing how easy it is for McCain to interject his history as a POW into any question. For example, in response to a question regarding the longest he's lived in once place:

Pelley: You were born in the Panama Canal Zone because your father was stationed there. Where'd you live as a kid?
McCain: Well, we lived in San Diego, we lived in Norfolk, Virginia. We lived in the Washington D.C. area. We lived in New London, Connecticut. My dad was a submariner.
Pelley: Longest you've lived any one place?
McCain: Hanoi. Hanoi was the longest- I lived any place, five and a half years.

Seriously? What about Arizona? Heck, given his 26 years in Congress, I bet that McCain has spent even more time in Washington DC.
The first time he used that line was an interview done back during his first run for government, 26 years ago. At that point he had just moved to Arizona.
The DUmmies are spitting mad at McCain using his POW story. Funny, I remember hearing about J.F. Kerry being in Vietnam...

The Little Goons cannot get past the reality that John McCain's service and amazing sacrifice was actually for his country and not just a resume enhancer like it was for that Frenchman Jean Ke'ree.
