Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas makes fun of John McCain’s teeth: Daily Kos: McCain’s teeth.

Of course, the reason why John McCain’s teeth look discolored is because they were knocked out during torture by his North Vietnamese captors.

In 1968 he was offered early release, and when he refused, because others had been there longer, his captors went at him again; he suffered cracked ribs, teeth broken off at the gum line, and torture with ropes that lashed his arms behind his back and that were progressively tightened all through the night.” Source Vanity Fair, February 2007

“He spent two years in solitary confinement, suffered from dysentery and even tried to commit suicide by hanging himself with his own shirt.

In 1968, the Vietnamese broke off many of his teeth at the gum and tortured him for hours on end. They offered him early release, knowing his value as an admirals son, but he refused, saying others had been held captive longer.” Source Daily Mail, February 1, 2008

Markos Moulitsas. The epitome of progressive class.
