Not only did he change the Packers to the Steelers, he flipped the offensive line to the defensive line.
John McCain wants you to know (or at least believe) that back in the 60s, he could name the entire defensive line of the Steelers, and the entire offensive line of the Packers. And, what’s more, he did name one or the other. And that’s why his war experiences qualify him to be the next president of the United States. Because he can say with equally compelling earnestness that he did X and the opposite of X. Very useful trait in a president. Helps you to fight the wars that must be fought. (Even if you can’t actually win the wars that must be won. Hell, that way we can keep on fighting the wars that must be fought, we don’t need any other agenda. That’s a plus, right?)
John McCain would prefer that you didn’t spend any time at all thinking about the fact that he could have pulled any names at all out of a hat, that it really didn’t matter what names he pulled from where. He could have named his classmates in high school. Or everybody he had ever said “Eff you!” to in his life. Or everyone he had ever called a c*nt in public, both loved ones and perfect strangers.
John McCain would prefer that you just turn your mind off and think to yourself: “What a regular guy, dude! Football fan. And he serves a mean barbecue, too. That’s my next president , for sure.” Since the last regular guy turned out to be so great for America and everything, you know.
This may have been pointed out already but…there is a difference between a defensive line and an offensive line, maybe both is true. “When I was first interrogated and really had to give some information because of the physical pressures that were on me, I named the starting lineup — defensive line — of the Pittsburgh Steelers as my squadron-mates.”
“Pressed for more useful information, I gave the names of the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line, and said they were members of my squadron.”
Nothing political here just an observation.
