Are there any similarities between George W. Bush and John McCain? What is your take? Both are white, wealthy men who did not have to do any work to earn much of the money they now enjoy. Both have terrible academic records and, I am afraid to say, both have enough brains to have a pilot’s license, although Bush never flew any combat missions, unlike McCain, who has been shot down and captured during one of his first Vietnam missions. CNN Commentator Jack Cafferty draws some more similarities in this commentary piece which is well worth reading.
