John McCain is the "perfect American lie" says Drew Magary

When Drew Magary was much younger he gave John McCain’s Presidential campaign $5. He regrets it. McCain "has always been a big talker," write Magary in GQ, "but when it comes to the actual meat-and-potatoes voting process, he falls in line."

Snip:

Everyone should realize that John McCain is the perfect American lie, a man who professes to be noble and fair and just while being none of those things. He served his country honorably in combat, but in no other fashion. And he serves out his time in the Senate, and here on planet Earth, as a pathetic enabler. Never the lion; always the sheep. For seventeen years, gullible people have been waiting for him to make his face turn, to make some grand defiant move for the sake of God and country. But that was always just clever branding on his part, and today should serve as a cold slap in the face to anyone who still thought he might have that kind of political courage left in him. He's a fucking disgrace.
