My favorite VP debate comment

Palin said, at least once, "John McCain knows how to win a war." My eyes rolled when she said this. What war has John McCain ever won? Let's see, his rich daddy got him into the Naval Academy where he finished almost dead last in his class. So, he lost the war of getting good grades. Then he flew planes in Vietnam. We lost in Vietnam. But even more to the point, John McCain got lost in his plane and got shot down (I guess we know why he graduated almost last in his class). So, he, personally lost in Vietnam. I'll give him credit for winning the war of wills with his captors. Now, McCain supported the Iraq debacle from the outset. We're losing that war (can anyone define what winning that war would be anyway?). McCain has been on the sidelines with Afghanistan, failing to support policies that would help us win that war, which we're now losing again.

So, what war did Johnny win? Looks to me like he's been a big loser his whole life.
