Re: McCain's Full Comments

Philip: At least McCain didn't call your highly reasonable question "chicken$h**" and then yell: "[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room." That's what he yelled at Texas' U.S. Sen. John Cornyn last year when Cornyn had the temerity to raise questions about the details of the immigration bill.
But really, McCain's answer to you amounted to the same message, minus the profanity. In short, he was saying, "How DARE you question ME?" You see, John McAngry is above being questioned. He's John McSaint. He's always right. Just in case you didn't know.....

Next time, just lob a question at him like Chris Wallace did in two debates, along the lines of, "Sen. McCain, is it a really difficult thing to always provide straight talk when your opponents like Gov. Romney are constantly running negative ads against you?"

I guarantee, you'll get a much less defensive answer from him if you take that approach! ;)
