McCain jokes that West Point grads are bastards

RAW STORY
Published: Tuesday May 16, 2006



Senator John McCain (R-AZ) took a joking swipe at Senator Jack Reed (D-RI), by effectively calling his colleague and all other West Point graduates bastards, according to today's Roll Call.

That decades-old rivalry between West Point and the Naval Academy gets more intense every day and the barbs get ever-more colorful, thanks to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a proud Naval Academy grad.

At the eighth annual Hoop Dreams Scholarship Fund Congressional reception in the Capitol last Thursday night, McCain took a friendly, if rather shocking, swipe at Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), a West Point grad who hosts the Hoop Dreams reception each year.
