John McCain’s Tortured Logic
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007The other night, I tuned into the GOP/CNN/You Tube/DNC Plant debate (it was a really, really, really slow TV night). In between Huckabee’s praisin’ the Lord, Romney’s hair and Ron Paul…well being Ron Paul, there was John McCain talking torture and 24.
It turns out that former 24 star John McCain has been dropping Jack Bauer’s name on the campaign trail as well.
“We all love Jack Bauer,” McCain said. “‘Where’s the nuclear weapon?’ ‘I’m not telling.’ Blam, blows the kneecap off and ‘I’ll tell ya.’”
That’s not real life, said McCain, a former Vietnam POW at odds with some rivals and members of the Bush administration over what interrogation techniques should be ruled out as torture. “It’s not Jack Bauer. It’s not ’24.’” (source)
However McCain got it wrong. Bauer blew off the kneecap of RoboCop’s wife in Season 5 when he refused to answer some questions. John McCain…he may know a little about getting bamboo shoots shoved up his fingernails, but he has a lot to learn about Jack Bauer.
Someone pass me a towel.
