In depth political analysis: Why are McCain's...

[johnfm]

...arms so short??

It is very freaky. They won't elect a freaky, short armed guy. No way.

They elected a monkey last time?

I was thinking it was an old war wound. For some reason he cannot seem to lift them higher than his shoulders. Couple that with some of the worst fitting suit jackets around - and he looks a berk.

Still, not bad enough for 40%+ of the US population voting for him!

Doesn't matter that he can't raise them - they're 30% SHORTER by the look of it. Is he playing the 'short arm' card??

"I've got short arms and can't wk, vote for me?"

Meh, sounds about as epic as his other campaign ploys.

McCain was in Vietnam as a pilot. This was well known. What was less well known was his service in the special forces unit known as the SAS.

The SAS or Short Arm Squadron was formed mostly of men with short arms which was seen as an advantage where mixing with the locals. (Everyone knows Vietnamese people have short arms).

No you misunderstand.

If I mean that it would be imagining the president in a vest and a brown and yellow pair of fat Ys

I think that is the OP's point. Long-haired and ape-like, or you ain't getting elected.
