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\u2014I didn\u2019t have a house, I didn\u2019t have a kitchen table, I didn\u2019t have a table, I didn\u2019t have a chair. And I spent those five and a half years, because\u2014not because I wanted to get a house when I got out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
