Dr. Phillip Butler is a "long time acquaintance" (his terminology) of John McCain and was a prisoner of war for an even longer time during the same period. He doesn't think McCain should be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office.
One cannot help but muse what the folks who brought you the "Swift Boat Vet" attacks on John Kerry would have done with a guy like Butler. One way in which the Kerry campaign (and the media, which is supposed to watchdog what candidates and their surrogates assert) dropped the ball that year was that a lot of folks got the erroneous idea that the men in the anti-Kerry ads had actually served alongside him, witnessed him not earning his medals, etc. Butler was a lot closer to McCain than any of the guys who slandered Kerry were to him.
