In this short satire inspired by the 1970s children's show, Schoolhouse Rock, John McCain takes a trip to "War-mart" to buy weapons (and a box of "Depenz"), steals candy from a child and money from a U.S. soldier. He bombs Iran, kisses Republican butt and pays up to Dick Cheney. Watch a cartoon McCain happily demonstrate the real McCain's sad and frightening politics.
