"Fuck you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room." -- John McCain to John Cornyn (R-Tex)
At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that 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."
And that's when Insane McCain responded in the Bush Administration diplomatic lingo.
McCain left the Capitol to head to New York for presidential campaign events. Later that day, McCain missed his 43rd straight vote.
In essence repeating what he'd just said.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
