"After leading Republicans in blocking the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" Tuesday, Sen. John McCain became testy with two reporters who pushed him on some of the more controversial features of the military's ban on openly gay service.

Reporter Kerry Eleveld of the Advocate, a gay magazine, asked McCain about troops' private emails being searched by the military to prove they were gay. "We do not go out and seek. Regulations are, we do not go out and seek to find out if someone's sexual orientation. We do not," McCain shot back. When she began to press him further on the issue, McCain raised his voice.

MCCAIN: That is the fact. That is the fact. Now, ma'am, I know the military very well, and I know what's being done. And what is being done is that they are not seeking out people who are gay. And I don't care what you say, I know it's a fact.

ELEVELD: It's not what I say."

I guess Insane McCain never heard of Air Force Major Almy! But then again, this lack of intelligence doesn't surprise me so much. In 2008, McCain was unable to remember how many houses or cars that he owns.

On a slightly different note, this should serve as a wake-up call for anyone criticizing President Obama. The 2008 election came down to those two men, if Obama didn't win...then Insane McCain would be in the Oval Office right now. Please keep that in mind before trashing President Obama. He hasn't done a perfect job as President, but I'll support him before ever supporting McSame. Ok, I'll get off that soap-box now.

19. Uh, huh huh huh

He's, like, OLD.

As I get older myself, stereotyping based on age pisses me off more and more. Please be more aware of your stereotyping and why did I walk into this room? I think I was looking for something... something.

2. It's time for McCain to retire to the Old Douchebag's Home.

9. Maybe ol' John had his horizons widened in the Hanoi Hilton?

11. McCain doesn't like women...

Not saying he's gay, but that he dislikes/disrespects women as people. He doesn't treat them very well.

Of course, he doesn't play well with others all across the board. :shrug:

8. A senile, bitter nasty old man who can't get over the fact that

a n----r beat him to be President, and so dedicates all his bile to obstructing anything the President proposes. A fitting end for one of the most mediocre Senators ever.

12. He pooped himself with rage and needed to be changed afterwards.

13. As a (SOB) constituent, Here's what I wrote to the old poop...

As your performance today when pressed about your bigoted stance on DADT proved, you are a senile relic of a bygone era and I fervently hope that someday your kind will NEVER AGAIN be elected to a position of power...

Your run to the "right wing" doesn't fool anyone. Rational people know you've always been an irrational flip-flopper and closet criminal (Charles Keating bring anything to mind?) and your right-wing "friends" can't stand you either.

You are a truly disgusting piece of work.

15. McCain the veg brain went insane and licks satan's hoof along with

W and Poppy. The man will do anything for power. Like a reverse vampire.


"Fed on my evil and grow stronger!"

16. The state of hate

McCain is from Arizona,all of our republican member of congress and the governor are nuts.They hate Blacks,Browns,and every other minority on the planet.The Mormon morons have turned all of them against Gays,we live in a hostile state.

Prune juice...Not on my Senate floor you don't. :)
