AP - Philadelphia
In a touching reunion on the campaign trail, Republican presidential hopeful John McCain came face to face with his POW past.
It happened in Philadelphia while at a photo op. The senator was ordering a Phillie Cheese Steak at Zeek's, when out from the kitchen came Din Wah, a 70 year-old dishwasher.
Tears came to both men's eyes as they realized they shared an intimate past.
Mr. Wah, a Vietnamese immigrant, recalled for reporters how he met then POW McCain in a prison camp during the war. "He fuck me. He fuck me long time."
McCain expressed delight in rekindling their wartime memories. "Din was my little Gook baby. We had some laughs together, didn't we?" He grabbed the frail Wah around the neck in a playful choke-hold. The embrace ended when Wah briefly lost consciousness.
Then the two old soldiers parted company. One, perhaps to the White House. The other, to gather filled bus tubs.
