It’s sad watching a man succumb to God-Knows-What right in front of our eyes. Kerry Eleveld and Chris Geidner went after McCain on the issue of the military actively going on witchhunts for gay servicemembers, and Walnuts! just sticks his fingers in his ears and doesn’t want to hear it, no he doesn’t!
The man is becoming more and more pathetic.
Here, via The Wonk Room at Think Progress, is the hilarious word-for-word transcript:
MCCAIN: 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!
ELEVELD: But senator, that’s not…
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.
MCCAIN: I dont’ care what you say! And I don’t care what others say. I’ve seen it in action. I’ve seen it in action. I have sons in the military, I know the military very well. So they’re not telling you the truth.
ELEVELD: Senator, just to make sure…
MCCAIN: Just to make sure. We do not go out and seek out and find out….
ELEVELD: Private emails are not being searched? Private emails are not being searched?
MCCAIN: …See if someone is gay or not. We do not go out and see whether someone is gay or not.
ELEVELD: There are documented cases…
MCCAIN: They do not, they do not, they do not. You can say that they are, you can say [inaudible] it’s not true!… Yea, I’d like to see…
GEIDNER: It is the case of Mike Almy, Senators.
MCCAIN: Bring them to our office. It is not the policy, it is not the policy, it is not the policy.
GEIDNER: But it is the case that it’s happening, Senator.
MCCAIN: It is not the policy, it is not the policy, it is not the policy You can say that it is the policy, sir if you choose to. It is not the policy. I would be glad to get that to you in writing.
So John McCain is a hypocritical homophobe with no principles and he’s becoming completely unhinged from reality. Does that about cover it?
Crimeny, he’s gone totally off the rail. Time to retire, Gramps!
McCain has no idea what he’s doing. Can you imagine if this senile, angry man had become President. It’s terrifying.
Please donate to Rodney Glassman, the Democrat that is running against McCain in November.
And tune into their debate this Sunday evening (9/26).
Help send McCain to one of his retirement homes.
Arizona needs a fresh face, and Rodney Glassman is exactly the right person to represent Arizona in the Senate.
John McCain has always been utterly self-serving in every endeavor he has ever engaged in. The Rolling Stone had a marvelous exposé on him prior to the 2008 Presidential election which should have been mandatory reading for every voter. I too think that he has some kind of brain dysfunction or mental illness. He doesn’t need a retirement home, he needs a sanitarium.
Yeah Paul, he and bush could be roommates and help each other during macaroni therapy in the day-room.
McCain is decompensating before our very eyes. This is what guilt over abandoning all your principals will do to a person.
What does “decompensating” mean?
Decompensation is the functional deterioration of a previously working structure or system. Decompensation may occur due to fatigue, stress, illness, or old age. It’s also a psychological term for when people break down.
[...] the Senate, and in the end it was a big serving of fail all around. After the vote, John McCain lost his marbles, thanks to a good serving of the old “Eleveld,” which is the new word for [...]
