McCain to Cornyn: "F--- YOU! I know MORE about this (amnesty) than anyone else in the room!"
This salty exchange followed a mere attempt by a good and decent man Texas Senator John Cornyn - who himself has to wrestle with illegal immigration in his home state as well - attempted to ascertain some clarity on the number of appeals illegals would have in the new bill.
During a meeting Thursday on immigration legislation, McCain and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) got into a shouting match when Cornyn started voicing concerns about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could receive, according to multiple sources -- both Democrats and Republicans -- who heard firsthand accounts of the exchange from lawmakers who were in the room.
At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that Cornyn was raising petty objections to a compromise plan being worked out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. He used a curse word associated with chickens and accused Cornyn of raising the issue just to torpedo a deal.
Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. "Wait a second here," Cornyn said to McCain. "I've been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You're out of line."
McCain, a former Navy pilot, then used language more accustomed to sailors (not to mention the current vice president, who made news a few years back after a verbal encounter with Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont).
"[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," shouted McCain at Cornyn.
McCain is an ill-tempered, arrogant, obnoxious windbag... and one not fitting to be President!
And in the House, some black dude called a Mexican woman a whore. Lets all go to sleep tonight with a stupid smile on our faces:):)
McCain proved once again that he is a hot head and can NOT be trusted with nukes. When he attacks another member of Congress in such a fashion, can you imagine what he'd do if some third world idiot like Hugo Chavez made him mad?
McCain having a “little moment” again?
The man needs to stop skipping his meds.
that was too weird and pathetic even for mccain.
At least this puts him out of the race.
now we can have a fight between mitt and rudy and maybe newt.
Let’s just hope that he retires...maybe leave the continent ;)
Surely you all know many of them ARE VOTING DON'T YOU...
And not just voting but voting exclusively democrat..
Puzzling why McCain lost it. He and fat Ted know better than anyone that whatever enforcement provisions are in that bill will be ignored and not enforced.
Of all the stuff in that bill, that's the topic of concern?
Y'all go right ahead with that plan of yourn. You might want to know, though, he ain't up 'till 2010. Might get lonesome in the meetins.
Duh!
Good for John McCain! He is showing everyday how not to run a campaign. I was a pro-McCain guy but Amnesty will not allow me to press the vote yes button. I mean I had other problems with him that I was going to hold my nose for because of his loyal dedication to WOT, but not anymore. He is speaking WOT while allowing potential terrorists on the soil for free. Welcoming them to boot!
McChurian is not fit to be seen or heard in public outside of Leavenworth. Globalist traitor.
McCain Field, NAS Meridian, Ms is named after his father Adml John S. McCain (a Miss. native). What beef does he have with Meridian Ms???
Good one !
There is an animated version of that where Hillary’s Johnson wiggles. Pretty funny.
ROFLMAO!
