John McCain: Prison Camp Arms
June 11, 2007
If you watched the recent debates, you may have noticed that John McCain's body language seemed a little stiff. In the May 2007 debate, he made the forceful statement, "We will bring him (Osama bin Laden) to justice and I will follow him to the gates of hell." Unfortunately, the strong words were accompanied by short jarring tiny hand gestures and an insane little smile.
John McCain's gimpy arms are the result of 5 and 1/2 years in a North Vietnamese prison camp, during which time he suffered multiple fractures to his right arm and a dislocated left shoulder. McCain also had a bayonet shoved in his left leg, but that injury does not seem to effect his current debate performances.
On the humorous side - if there is a humorous side to prison camp torture... a senior adviser to the McCain campaign remembers a moment at the 2000 Republican convention when President Bush raised John McCain's hand in the air to signify victory. McCain's victory smile quickly turned to a grimace of pain.
So we've explained the strange short hand gestures. As for the insane little smile, I can only guess that the man is a little insane. But aren't we all. Me? I'm insane for breakfast. But you know who's really insane? People who skip breakfast. They are four times more likely to become obese than people who eat breakfast according to Harvard University.

John McCain has still not announced a position on the importance of breakfast.
