John McCain is a very sad thing to watch November 16, 2012 12:46 am BuckGalaxy

Talk about making yourself a laughing stock. I can actually believe his story that it was a scheduling error, but damn someone on his staff needs to get fired! Ouch!

    • Hmmmmmm....perhaps this was planned to discredit him? by Jody 2012-11-16 08:43:42

          • Yep. I am still filtering through the homegrown pookie for the truth. McCain does not sidetrack me. by Jody 2012-11-16 12:02:43
          • Nah, he just got confused about his schedule. It happens at his age. by ER 2012-11-16 09:24:49

              • He read the transcripts of an intelligence briefing that was happening at the same moment he was complaining about not getting enough intelligence? by BuckGalaxy 2012-11-16 10:00:30
              • I used to really respect the man. by ER 2012-11-16 06:35:32
