It asks a good question, even if it doesn't fully answer it, but then how can one fully explain why McCain is such a dick? My theory is that he is suffering from dementia, and all those around him are being studiously clueless like those around Reagan in the late White House years. Who has the clappers necessary to remove a belligerent momma's boy from such a position of influence? At least Mike Madden has the cohens to fly at the subject on an oblique course, and I commend him for it. Did I mention that it was really well-written?
Seriously though, McCain revealed his whole personality when he said "I screwed up" on David Letterman. I'm sure he said that every time he was called on the carpet during his Navy career. He is just a lovable screw-up who has stumbled through his padded world like the drunken sailor that he is.
