Everything I learned, I learned from a petty officer

Oh John McCain. The economy is failing, women's rights are slowly being eroded, the US has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy in the industrialized world, and we are losing a war we never should have entered...and your words of wisdom?

"Everything I learned, I learned from a petty officer."

I kind of wish that you had learned everything from a wise family matriarch, or from the people you are supposed to represent.
