Navy Commander (ret.) Phillip Butler is a one-man Swift Boat. Commander Butler will not vote for The Geezer for reasons stated as well as unstated. It is the belief of this blog that The Geezer was shot down over North Vietnam because (McNasty-style) he disobeyed his flight orders and flew at lower altitude than his orders specified. McCain survived the SAM hit, but The Geezer's wingman, who accompanied him to that lower altitude, did not survive. This is the unspoken reason why Phillip Butler will not vote for his fellow Naval Academy classmate and fellow POW, John S. McCain III. Instead of John the Third, The Geezer really is John the Turd. Forget the cheap imitation of "Northern Exposure" that passes for the trials and tribulations of The Mighty Quinnette. None of that matters at the end of the day. The real verdict on McNasty (as he was known at the Naval Academy) is provided by Commander Butler. If this is (fair & balanced) truth to power, so be it.
