Watch: Fellow McCain POW says McCain not fit

A new video featuring a fellow prisoner of war to John McCain says he is not fit to be president.

Talking Points Memo points out:

The film has accents — stylistically, at least — of the Swift Boat Vets’ ads against John Kerry. In it, Butler rather bluntly suggests that McCain’s POW past has rendered him mentally too unstable for the White House.

“I think I can say with authority that the prisoner of war experience is not a good prerequisite for president of the United States,” Butler says. “The data show that the prisoner of war group are dying at an earlier age and that we suffer lots of residual things that non-POW group doesn’t have to deal with. And it’s imperative that we have someone who is healthy and can stand the rigors of that job.”
