Should we also not forget McCain's nearly 60k/per year in disability checks?

Bringing that up originally had some worried it'd play into the hands of generic, ugly GOP anti-welfare rhetoric, but given McCain's recent hysterics about "Senator Government" wanting to tax the US into "socialism" to "give people checks," and playing a TV commercial that ominously shows what looks like a Social Security disability check (or could be a tax refund, etc.) on it, there is the double standard/"the hypocrisy burns" angle, not (just) the "McCain doesn't deserve disability checks" angle, which some people get bogged down in, and is a questionable tack.
