I'm simply making the point that the above piece regarding Obama meeting Barlet is a piece of fiction written by a writer of fiction. All I was saying was a fictional piece in McCains favor is probably currently be written by someone like Dennis Miller, also a writer of fiction.
I was not and am not making any attempt to state that McCain did not spend time in a POW camp. I might question whether he spent "five years in a tiger cage" solely because my understanding of a 'tiger cage' is it is a specific type of confinement/torture used by the VC. I'm not sure you could honestly say McCain spent five years in one.
But that's really not my point. My point was the piece in the OP was written by a well known liberal writer. You're simply not going to find positive statements regarding McCain in something written by Sorkin. If you want positive comments regarding McCain in a fictional account of an encounter that never happened you're going to have to wait for a conservative writer to write it, like Dennis Miller. Then we'll have people on the left pointing that the conservative author left out the positive points in Obama's bio. Which would bring this whole silly conversation to it's natural conclusion.
