John McCain just loves using that POW card
LENO: Welcome back, Sen. McCain, for one million dollars, how many houses do you have?MCCAIN: You know, could I just mention to you, Jay, and a moment of seriousness. I spent five and a half years in a prison cell, without—I didn’t have a house, I didn’t have a kitchen table, I didn’t have a table, I didn’t have a chair. And I spent those five and a half years, because—not because I wanted to get a house when I got out.

A noun, a verb and "I was a POW". That sums up the McCain campaign. Maybe a good ad would be to get all these "I was a POW" snippets together and run them end to end to show how over played it is.
He says it a lot, but five years and a half is no laughing matter!
