How would Imus have reacted to a 4 time Dem Senator who had no good answer about Walter Reed?

<snip>IMUS: “You know, when we were over there, when you took us over -- I would have never gone, had you not asked me to go. I would not -- that's how out of it I am, I didn't think about it. Were you aware of what's going on there with the outpatient program or what's going on throughout the V.A. system, apparently?”

MCCAIN: “No, but let me say to start with, I'm also grateful that you came to San Antonio to the opening of that rehab facility, and everybody that was involved in it. And look, you talk about touching moments, when we all had sat down at the ceremony and they welcomed the heroes and those young people came out, on crutches and wheelchairs and badly burned, it was one of the more moving experiences in my life. And I -- I think I've been around and seen a fair amount, but that was -- that was remarkable in the fact that you came down and spent time there and they were -- they were thrilled you were there, because that's what all of them told me.”

IMUS: “Well, they -- sounds like your elaboration (ph). They loved you, these kids. But you were not aware of what was going on at Building 18, the outpatient situation?”

MCCAIN: “No, no. When I go out, I do the same thing that -- that you did the day that you and Bernard do and Charles went with me, and go to the hospital and see the patients and then down to the rehab place. And obviously, it's an unacceptable situation. I'm glad the media does its job. Now let's try to see that the government does its job. And part of that is congressional oversight and knowing what's going on. And we're going to have a hearing on it in the armed services committee. But I do think that Secretary Gates did the right thing by going out there, saying it's unacceptable, saying it's going to be fixed, and I think he fired some people. And, so, I was glad that Secretary Gates took quick action. But it's not acceptable.”

IMUS: “ Well, how is it that none of us knew anything about this? You didn't know about it?”

MCCAIN: “I have no good answer. We have communications with veterans all the time, constantly, both in Washington and back in Arizona. I do think it's important to point out that a lot of the employees there, particularly those physical therapists and others and many of the doctors and nurses, you know, they're the most dedicated people you will ever know. It's an unacceptable situation, but we don't want to get everybody tarred by that brush. You know, you met those...”



I think we know that any Dem Senator who would spew that kind of tripe live on the Imus show would have been eaten alive by Imus and his minions. Can we all agree on that?

1. McCain is a liar. I bet he knew. He's a vet that came back

and had to have a lot of rehab and crap from surviving his capture in Viet Nam. So if he says he's not aware of how bad the services are for injured vets is, he's either lying or NOT DOING HIS JOB.

Screw McCain. He wouldn't deal honestly with anyone, even if it was to his advantage.

2. You know McCain knew. And Imus knows McCain knew too

Imus is a phony bastard too for not jumping him all over McCain for not having a better answer. They are all pond scum.
