Jimmy Carter: McCain Milking His POW Status

President Carter says John McCain was “a distinguished naval officer, but says he’s been “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time as a prisoner of war.  Carter talked to USA Today about McCain’s talk with Rick Warren earlier in the month:

 “John McCain was able to weave in his experience in a Vietnam prison camp, no matter what the question was,” said Carter, a 7-year Naval officer who served aboard submarines. “It’s much better than talking about how he’s changed his total character between being a senator, a kind of a maverick at the time, and his acquiescence in the last few months with every kind of lobbyist pressure that the right wing Republicans have presented to him.”
