Rolling Stone in 2008 called him “A Make Believe Maverick”.
A horrible example of an unprincipled human, McCain sold out early to his North Vietnam captors and became a Tokyo Rose talking against America on the radio.
“McCain was a nasty brat as a young man. There are many stories of the way he bullied others, including teachers, stories perhaps easy to make light of fifty years later, but not funny if you were his victim and, more importantly, all too similar to stories of his adult behavior. He was a poor student. He always took advantage of being the son and grandson of admirals to get away with his sometimes vicious antics and failures. He crashed an aircraft and got away with it.
He earned the nicknames “Punk” and “McNasty.” Even his friends seemed to dislike him, with one recalling him as “a mean little fucker.”
