John Cole weighs in on the McCain/Clark brouhaha:
Since honorable military service is all you need to qualify for the White House, and gives you the only experience that matters, we may have a VP for McCain. Randall “Duke” Cunningham:
During his service, Cunningham and his Radar Intercept Officer “Irish” Driscoll became the only Navy aces in the Vietnam War, flying an F-4 Phantom from aboard aircraft carriers, and recording five confirmed kills. He was one of the early graduates of the Navy’s TOPGUN school that taught dogfighting techniques to F-4 Phantom pilots and Radar Intercept Officers (RIOs).
There is one wee problem.  Mr. Cunningham is currently in the U.S. Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona.  He's in the midst of serving a 100 month sentence after a guilty plea to tax evasion, conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, and wire fraud.  Mr. Cunningham is scheduled for release in 2013.
