I spent 20 years in the Air Force, so naturally, I have had great respect for John McCain. But what he is doing now has undone all the respect that I've had for him. I was very proud of the way in 2008 he told that woman who said that Obama was an un-American Muslim, and he quickly told her she was wrong. But sometime after that, maybe he got a right-wing challenge in Arizona, he slowly became not the maverick of the GOP, but a stalwart member of the Tea Party. And now, with this vendetta he has against Susan Rice, for whatever reason, he's gone and shown what I guess is now his true self. On Wednesday, his Senate committee was getting a classified briefing on what happened in Benghazi, but Senator McCain wasn't there. Where was he? Standing in front of a camera, complaining that the White House and its agencies were refusing to give his committee a briefing. What's wrong, Senator, not having cameras in a classified briefing cramping your style, or do you just not care about facts and want to rail against Susan Rice and the Obama Administration? Or, is it a little bit of both?
Either way, to me, it really doesn't matter. I've lost all respect for you, Senator McCain.
