Reisal Posted September 4, 2013 Click "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.” Your American tax dollars at work, folks. Heh. 0 Share this post Link to post

Snakes Posted September 4, 2013 I'm surprised his attention span held out for as long as it did. Dude's well past being a senior citizen at this point. Honestly, him watching porn might've actually caused a few people to notice a hearing at all once #McCainfapsto trended on Twitter. 0 Share this post Link to post
Joshua Schäferhund Posted September 5, 2013 This just proves how much of a failure McCain is as an American politician. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ladna Posted September 5, 2013 He's actually one of the most successful politicians in history. He mounted two respectable presidential campaigns, one of which he likely would have won if the economy didn't take a dump in October, and he's also been a senator for nearly 30 years. I'm hyper-liberal, but come on. 0 Share this post Link to post

The only reason he's in office is because there are still too many stupid people in the US who are easily manipulated. 0 Share this post Link to post

You do know that Johnny McCain had a list of "countries to bomb" so large that it would take two pages of paper to fill, right? 0 Share this post Link to post
Kontra Kommando Posted September 5, 2013 I think this sends out a good message. He makes me feel better about posting here, while I'm at work. Csonicgo said:You do know that Johnny McCain had a list of "countries to bomb" so large that it would take two pages of paper to fill, right? Yep, neoconservatives have a list of countries they've outlined, for the U.S. to take action in, and install a U.S. friendly regime. Syria is among those nations, as is Iran, and many other Middle Eastern and African nations-states. 0 Share this post Link to post

Posted September 5, 2013 Mr. Chris said:Mccain caught playing Poker on iPhone during Syria hearing As someone with a "McName" I'm offended you didn't capitalize the second 'C!' :p Anyway, I'm not at all surprised politicians play phone games during hearings, meetings, debates, or whatever else they're up to. Making people pay attention to one thing for hours is harder than making them move around for hours. I'd play games too, and I'd be proud of it. 0 Share this post Link to post

MajorRawne Posted September 6, 2013 He should have got the HTC One. Not only would he get a bigger HD screen, the music would sound better. He could listen to the PSX Doom music with the babies crying, and keep glancing around to see what effect it was having on the female delegates. 0 Share this post Link to post
