Power Line — The ever-gracious Jimmy Carter has accused John McCain of "milking every possible drop of advantage" from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. Carter was referring to McCain's references to that time in the Saddleback event. But that event called on McCain and Obama to talk about personal matters, not just policy, and Carter didn't cite any specific instance where he thought McCain's reference to his POW days was inappropriate or inapt. In any event, if Obama can constantly refer to his three year stint as a "community organizer" on the South Side of Chicago, and ...

Time's Scherer Echoes Jimmy Carter on McCain 'POW Card'
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
Yesterday in a chat with USA Today reporters, former President Jimmy Carter complained that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) was "milking every possible drop of advantage" from his stay in the Hanoi Hilton.
Perhaps picking up on that talking point, Time magazine's Michael Scherer asked in an August 28 article, "Is McCain Overplaying the POW Card?" Yet not once in his did Scherer point to Carter's comments. Instead Scherer resorted to the ever-so-reliable journalistic convention of "some critics":
some critics say he is overplaying his trump card. At several points over the past two weeks, the McCain campaign has raised his ...

Think Progress —
Late yesterday, former President Jimmy Carter (D), said in an interview with USA Today that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has been “‘milking every possible drop of advantage‘ from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.” Thoughout his campaign for president, McCain has been “able to weave in his experience in a Vietnam prison camp, no matter what the question was,” Carter added.
Today, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) responded to Carter’s comments, calling them “absurd.” McCain’s POW experience is “something he doesn’t talk about,” Sanford claimed:

John Kerry Attacks John McCain
RedState: Conservative News and Community —
As we discovered during the 2004 election, John Kerry is a man
virtually devoid of honor. His non-existent mission into Cambodia
to fight an guerilla group that did not then exist, his ability to
get three wounds in less than six months -- thereby getting his
butt out of a combat zone -- without a single day being spent in a
hospital or in convalescence, his turning the shameful execution of
an critically wounded enemy soldier into a medal for bravery, and
his disgusting, and I'll say it, treasonous behavior after his
release from active duty tell you all you will ever need to know
about John Kerry's character.
Now we can add another thing to Kerry's Sears and Roebuck ...

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
by Chris Bodenner RedState's Streiff, yesterday: What the AP, and the press in general, fails to note is that Shinseki was
essentially fired ... for being a disloyal **** and actively lobbying to
preserve a weapons system the OSD did not want. ... Having said that, I am cheered by the selection of General Shinseki as the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs rather than a politcal [sic] hack like Max Cleland who
has made a career of riding his admittedly serious injuries. Streiff, Sept. 1: As we discovered during the 2004 election, John Kerry is a man virtually
devoid of honor. ... Now, four years ...
