MOSCOW, September 14 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s Communist Party newspaper, the Pravda, has tentatively agreed to publish an op-ed penned by US Senator John McCain, well-known for his vociferous criticism of the Russian leadership, the US publication Foreign Policy reported.

The agreement has been prompted by McCain’s interview with CNN on Thursday where the senior Republican senator slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s op-ed in The New York Times criticizing Washington’s push for military action in Syria.

McCain, who had earlier called Putin’s piece “an insult to the intelligence of every American,” joked “I would love to have a commentary in Pravda,” referring to Russia’s restrictive press policies.

Foreign Policy's blog The Cable sent the transcript of the interview to Pravda and received a surprising offer to publish an op-ed written by McCain.

Not only that but also prove to the world that we are exceptional, in buffoonery at least.

Will the Op-Ed be published in the Comics section as the featured Ass Hat of the day?

I think Pravda is pretty confidant that McCain will make their case for them.

I wish John would resign and admit himself to a proper care center to receive treatment for his degenerating mental capacity.

The Admiral's kid has had this mental capacity since the 60's.

Oh I know. He was never a bright man. But I think his cheese has slid so far off his cracker that he is now a danger to himself. He has always been a danger to the US. In his case being a Maverick means he is a crappy discontinued Ford Compact car from the 70’s.

We don’t listen to McCain, why would the Russians? So if he can’t get an audience here, he turns to Russia? This government we have is a joke, they are prooving it every day.

Arizona’s Senator John McCain is an insult to the intelligence of every American.
