McCain Goes Nuts Near Senate Floor



Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, launched into a shouting match during a Thursday Capitol Hill meeting, where reportedly the presidential candidate dropped the "F" word and more.

According to reports in the Washington Post and the New York Post, Cornyn apparently got the former POW's attention when he raised the issue about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could receive.

In a meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain opined that Cornyn was purposely raising petty objections to a compromise plan then being hammered out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House.

"This is chickens--- stuff," McCain fired at Cornyn, according to the news reports. "You've always been against this bill, and you're just trying to derail it."



Not to be outdone, Cornyn accused McCain of being too occupied campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations.

"Wait a second here," Cornyn said to McCain. "I've been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You're out of line."

"F--- you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," McCain reportedly rejoined.

McCain, who has missed 42 votes this year, hasn't been intimately involved in the comprehensive immigration reform debate for months.

Reportedly, the shouting match was played out in front of a bipartisan group of senators and aides who had gathered in the meeting room.


Pundits suggest that the temper flare may reopen the can-of-worms that is McCain's "anger-management problem."
Brian Jones, a spokesman for the McCain campaign, acknowledged that a "spirited exchange" did take place.

Doesn't excuse the anger, though.

Maybe we will be treated to a debate between Hillary and McCain. The Jerry Springer show would be a good venue.

Put ALL the candidates from both sides in a room. Give 'em each a knife and turn out the lights. Whoever comes out is President.

Sorta the way it works now, but more straightforward and a LOT less expensive.

If Hillary had said it we would be having 24 hour cable news coverage akin to the Anna Nichol story.

It's apparently ok for McCain to raise Cain since he is a GOP contender and that's the kind of behavior that the American public has grown to expect from that party. That's why if Hillary did it, it would be shocking enough to broadcast 24/7. An uncivilized Dem? Now that's news.

A good share of the regard I had for McCain went down the tubes when he went for a "casual stroll" in Iraq and "proved how safe it is now".
