From the New Yorker, but pretty funny just the same.

    I can see not avoiding the issue of not going to Vietnam, of seekigna deferment and deal with it head on. But I think it is a mistake for him to draw specific attention to it and turn it into an attention grabbing headline. He has handled the Immigration very well, but he is making a mistake if he thinks he can use the same tactics for every issue that comes down the pipe. Sometimes it is better to just answer the question and move on Donald.

    Trump's a bleening blowhard toot'n his own horn and getting sour notes for the effort.
    If he were as intelligent as he thinks he is he'd surround himself with a team of advisors to filter every word that comes out of his mouth.

    Yea, but he's 'half-black'. That's a pass card right there.

    I don't mind that he said what he felt (and respect him for not lying about it as many politicians do) but have serious issues with someone who himself didn't serve and who bashes POWs. Even if they are McCain. Because while I have no love for McCain, anyone who serves, is captured, and held in a hellhole for years is a hero just for surviving it.

    Sometimes discretion is the best part of valor and knowing when to keep your mouth shut, especially about a stinking, old politician is the wiser course.
