John McCain's not a dangerous, senile old man -- he's a former POW

John McCain and his first wife, just before she was dealt POW card
Hey, did you know John McCain was a POW? You probably didn't, because he's so famously private about it. As he said in July, "I am always reluctant to talk about these things."
Yes, shy, reluctant John. But, shockingly, he seems to be coming out of his shell lately. After answering every question at the Rick Warren forum with a story about being a POW, the next day his spokeswoman issued a statement about whether McCain had heard the questions beforehand: "The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous." Yeah, doesn't everybody know by now? Being a prisoner of war means the only thing you cheat on is your first wife.
We suspect this won't be the last time McCain plays the POW card. As we're finding out, the POW card is amazingly versatile -- it can be used in almost any situation. If you, or someone you love, is similarly "reluctant" to talk about their POW experience (and they haven't cheated on you and left you yet), you'll want to check out our 23/6 Guide to Playing the POW Card.
