With friends like these ...

Even as his wife and Blogette daughter tour Asia, the Gentleman from Arizona was busy in California trying to reboot his Team Bush-esque energy policy. He's proposing a $300 million competition to build a better battery to power electric cars. Along the way, he received a very bizarre endorsement. In an interview with the BBC, Tran Trong Duyet, McCain's captor during the Vietnam war said "I wish him success in the presidential election ... I consider John McCain my friend." Umm, this coming from the man who denied torturing him during his stay in the Hanoi Hilton. In the meantime, McCain needs to close the fundraising gap between himself and Barack Obama. And while he's shown an ability to repeatedly return from the dead, the Gentleman from Arizona is indeed in need of some more friends.
