    So Alan, where was the media when Al Franken made a “joke” about McCain’s war hero status?

    Fifteen years ago, Al Franken took a dig at John McCain for being captured during the Vietnam War.

    “I have tremendous respect for McCain but I don’t buy the war hero thing,” Franken wrote in an essay about the 2000 elections. “Anybody can be captured. I thought the idea was to capture them. As far as I’m concerned he sat out the war.”

    Embellishing and amplifying some snippet within a dialogue between a political candidate and pollster then getting people snapping and frothing at it might be better than going fishing.

    FWIW…”I doubt I could cross the line and vote Republican. I have tremendous respect for McCain but I don’t buy the war hero thing. Anybody can be captured. I thought the idea was to capture them. As far as I’m concerned he sat out the war.” That comment was made by Al Franken, commenting on the candidates running in 2000 (years before he ran for the Senate in 2008). Sound a bit like Trump? But since Franken’s a Democrat, of course there’s nothing controversial.

    If Trump breaks through the establishment, left wing, biased media bullies who have a death grip on this country, he has done the country a great service.

    Alan says, “I recommend those with weak stomachs to watch me on my radio show.”
