[Washington Post] As the hearing continues, our ace photographer Melina Mara reports she spotted Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) "passing the time by playing poker on his iPhone during the hearing."

#7  I've seen much worse, or funnier, on the Hill.

To paraph Winston Churchill once again, "DEMOCRACY IS THE WORSE FORM OF GOVT., EXCEPT FOR ALL THE REST".

"IN A DEMOCRACY, THE VOTERS GET THE KIND OF LEADERS ANDOR GOVTS. THEY DESERVE", however good or bad that is.

#6  Oh, his mind is made up already. He's so far in the tank he can't be in the same room as the betta.

He has been banging the drums loudest for over a year now, finally has his hearing, and finds all that and the fate of this nation less interesting than a losing game of p@kr. Really shows off that resolve, not able to focus for a measly three hours. Pathetic.

Hey McCain, who you playing against? '08 Obama, Palin, and betta?

#3  Simply proves his noggin is mush. He's a bloviating old dinosaur who needs to check into an extended care facility at his earliest convenience.

#2  Maybe if he'd known the seriousness of flying combat missions over enemy territory he wouldn't have been a guest for so many years at the Hanoi Hilton.

#1  I'm not sure how to appropriately express how mad this makes me.

Maybe it would be like getting ready to enter a burning house, knowing that there are patients trapped inside, perhaps even an arsonist, and upon looking for orders, finding the chief staring at a good looking on-looker in a weird creepy way.

Maybe its the sarcastic response that makes me want to pound by fist through the desk. Coming from a guy who should know the seriousness of flying combat missions over enemy territory.
