News parsing hearing. Social media is "WTF McCain?"

[nolabear]

For a brief moment he's under a very bright and unblinking light.

Although, Brian Williams just called it "an unfortunate outing for John McCain."

3. McCain has been gay all these years? Who Knew?

4. Have to agree with Brian

That was an embarrassing exchange for McCain and it closed out the hearing.

That clip will likely live forever.

6. An approriate remark by Williams

No need to pile on a person who clearly is no longer the person he once was. It is so obvious to everyone. The question then becomes - how to leave the public eye with dignity and class. I hope McCain's family and friends can help him do that.

7. I'd be fine with that. And if dementia in office got to be considered.

I've about had it with old men who can't follow a line of thought being in power.

8. More sorrow than anger for him here . . . . n/t

[cynatnite]

9. I feel sorry for him...

I hate that because I've respected how he conducted himself and conceded when he lost against Obama. I respect his service and sacrifice for this country.

Now, it's just sad because his mental faculties aren't there any longer. It's time for him to leave his office with dignity.

The husband and I were both aghast watching him.
