37. Unhinged again?
Wed Nov 21, 2012, 12:06 PM
Nov 2012

John McCain acts like he did during the banking crisis when he rushed to Washington to walk around the halls getting photo-ops. He attended no meetings and was not invited to any. He got his photo taken and talked to reporters. He tries to stay relevant but the more he tries, the more UN-relevant he becomes.

All this noise about Susan Rice because he didn't like her "talking point"? He is more concerned with that than with Rep Issa posting "secure" information on his webpage that including names of people helping us. He calls this highly intelligent woman "dumb" when she is very educated, very smart and held very good jobs for 20 years. John McCain, on the other hand, graduated from the Academy 4th from the last out of a class of over 830. Took no orders from commanding officers and crashed at least 4 planes (some reports are 5) being a jerk and a show off.

And to prove how smart he is, he picks Sarah Palin as his running mate.

John McCain, if anyone, should know what an investigation entails. After all, he was investigated himself for his part in Iran-Contra Affairs. He sat on the Advisory Board but when investigated, he claims he had retired from that position although no one else remembered him retiring from that job.
