The venomous British media
You already know that footage has emerged of John McCain as a POW. I won’t comment on that. I will comment on the opening paragraph of the story to which Drudge links, in Britain’s Sky News:
The video portrays the Republican as a hero but the message may be tarnished as he is filmed smoking a cigarette.
I’m in a rush, so let me point out only (a) that was more than forty years ago, when everyone smoked, (b) the guy was a POW for God’s sake, and (c) only the modern smoke Nazis (and I personally happen to hate cigarette smoke) would ascribe a moral failing to a picture of someone smoking forty years ago.
