I know you have been bombarded with how Senator John McCaine's shit smells like pink roses all over the media. People usually try to dig out the best of you after you die regardless how horrible person you have been. I am not saying McCaine was a horrible human being, but every time I hear his name reminds me of the cab ride I gave to the Senator and his young female aide back in the mid nineties.
I picked them up from the senate side of the Capitol heading to the Capital Grille, it was a brand new restaurant back then, and it was the place to be for the powerful and the wannabes. The ride was less than ten minutes but it felt like ten days because he was yelling at the poor young broad the whole ride. It was something about not being prepared for the union guys from Arizona, some shit like that. He got dropped off at the restaurant at 6th and Pennsylvania Ave NW, never said hello or thank you. After the senator left I proceeded to drive in to Virginia to drop the poor girl at her apartment, young whitties didn't live in the city back then.
"Yaw Mad Cabbie, what the fuck man? You haven't blogged in ages, and now you come back and bad mouth the Senator? He was a purple heart Vietnam war hero, man! He is not even buried yet for God's sake ! What happened to human decency, bro?"
Calm down you jackass, there are thousands of wounded vets out there, including my father, God bless his soul! I found out that my father was shot by a Vietnamese sniper in his balls sack and the doctors had to get rid off one of the balls. I never knew my father was running around with one lonely ball for all those years until my mother told me just recently. We have always been told that dad was shot in his ass! I remember that I was too embarrassed to say my dad was shot in the ass in Vietnam! Who the fuck goes to war and gets shot in the ass? The only people I know who gets shot in the ass are niggers in the hood when they shoot each other because their aiming skill sucks.
"Mad, why are we talking about your dad's balls? Aren't you writing about your John McCaine memories?"
Okay okay, you're right man! Let me get to the point....Listen folks, don't make John McCaine more than who he was. That "No Vote" he casted to save Obama Care is more a "FUCK YOU TRUMP" vote than let's care of our uninsured poor folks! Didn't he turned around and gave a "Yes Vote" supporting the Trump tax cut bill the would also eliminate thirteen million Americans out of Obama Care network?
John McCaine was just another Washington politician with more questionable past that the media leads you to believe, but I do respect the man for the harsh experience he endured in Vietnam whether that war was just or not.
RIP Senator John McCaine, thank you for your service.
Please don't forget the homeless,
Mad Cabbie,
