The Republican National Convention

.... or, "P.O.W.-palooza."

Ezra Klein:

the content was objectively powerful, if familiar: John McCain was a prisoner of war. The story was well told, but it's testament to McCain's reluctance to speak about his war record that by this point in the election, the mute can tell it, the forgetful can recall it, and the blind can sketch it.

A Noun, A Verb and POW Watch

It works for anything. Anything.

Speaking of Vietnamese Prisons....

The erstwhile popstar and convicted sex offender, Gary Glitter, shares something in common with John McPOW.

That's right, they've both done time in Vietnam.

And yet, for reasons unknown, no one's suggesting a write-in campaign to elect this guy to public office (as a Republican of course).

Hey McCain, You Down With OCD? "Yeah, You Know Me!"

McCain, on Jay Leno, played the POW card. Again.

My God, he really can't help himself. It's like a manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
