Here's the footage y're referring to, Laurie

And here are some more YouTube clips that are baaaad for McCain's street cred

The crutches while meeting Nixon might have been legit IF he'd had surgery after his release. That'd be in his medical records.
 
No mention of torture by McCain's Hanoi Hilton roommate, quite the opposite...

And (my personal fave!) lying in general...

Actually there is an old news clip out of Scandinavia, I think, which just
recently came to light that shows McCain getting off the plane after his
release from North Viet Nam in which he shows no signs of injury or
mistreatment physically and is spry with a jaunting stride as he walks from
the plane staircase down the runway to a waiting car.  It appears that the
foreign photojournalist who took the film did not release it earlier because
he did not think it in good taste to challenge the credibility of a POW; so
it stayed in the vaults so to speak until it was recently released as a
historic document without any comment except that it was early film of
McCain after his release as a POW.  I wish I could remember where I saw this
so as to give references; but I cannot.

The Vietnamese are saying that McCain was never tortured. Did he make
the whole thing up? It's totally plausible, and would be typical for
the right wing in this country. Maybe he should offer to take a lie
detector test on his claim that he was tortured.
