McCain ... wasn't honorable at the Naval Academy.
He wasn't honorable in his first marriage.
He wasn't honorable when he voted against MLK Day,
or when he got involved in the Keating Five.
He wasn't honorable when he defended the Confederate Flag (as he has admitted).
He's not being honorable now. So, when was he honorable?
And this now famous non-denial denial about whether or not McCain was in-the-cone or not in-the-cone is a classic:
Nicolle Wallace, a spokeswoman for Mr. McCain, said on Sunday night that Mr. McCain had not heard the broadcast of the event while in his motorcade and heard none of the questions.
“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous,” Ms. Wallace said.
But it turns out that McCone was not in-the-Cain (to the reported surprise of The Purpose Driven Life author)
Mr. Warren started by asking Mr. McCain, “Now, my first question: Was the cone of silence comfortable that you were in just now?”
Mr. McCain deadpanned, “I was trying to hear through the wall.”
Interviewed Sunday on CNN, Mr. Warren seemed surprised to learn that Mr. McCain was not in the building during the Obama interview.
But do note - McCain does not answer the straightforward question. (The straight forward, HONORABLE answer would have been, "I was not in the cone of silence.")
No, McCain is not being honorable now.
