John McCain Foul-Mouths Another Senator and He Misses Another Vote ( 43 Straight )

   Here is a nifty on one of  John McCain's rare visits to Washington, D.C., from WaPo

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) hasn't spent much time in the Capitol this year as he seeks the GOP presidential nomination. But one of his rare appearances this week provided a pretty salty exchange with a fellow Republican.

At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that Cornyn  (Sen. John Cornyn) was raising petty objections to a compromise plan being worked out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. He used a curse word associated with chickens and accused Cornyn of raising the issue just to torpedo a deal.

Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. "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."

  Mr. McCain's response"

"[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room."

    The old man is getting a wee bit testy in his old age, is he not?

   On Thursday afternoon, McCain did gather with nine other colleagues and a few other Bush misfits to announce the immigration deal. McCain then left for New York to do some more campaign events, missing the vote on the $2.9 trillion budget outline.

   It was McCain's 43rd straight time that he has missed being around to vote on the bills.

   Someone may have to refresh my memory, but isn't this idiot getting paid to serve his State and the citizens of the United States?  Being the typical conservative, it is more important to go out and raise/spend money that will put his sorry ass in debt and accomplish nothing.
