I have to admit, it was pretty funny (and depressing) listening to Max Headroom President Bush and Fred Thompson use every word in the vocabulary to describe John McCain’s experiences while being tortured in Viet Nam except the word torture, but this part just of Thompson’s snoozer made me laugh, because it was clear they had run out of euphemisms:
Over four days, every two to three hours, the beatings resumed. During one especially fierce beating, he fell, again breaking his arm. John was beaten for communicating with other prisoners. He was beaten for not communicating with so-called peace delegations. He was beaten for not giving information during interrogations.
And John McCain is going to be beaten on November 4th.
