McCain slams Putin on Snowden- "he continues to stick his thumb in our eye"

Sen. John McCain weighed in on the Edward Snowden saga on Tuesday, saying that Russia's actions in the wake of the accused National Security Agency leaker's reported arrival in Moscow harkens back to the Cold War.

"It's reminiscent of the days of the Cold War, when you hear a Russian spokesman saying that [Snowden’s] not in Russia when every shred of evidence indicates that he is,” McCain said on CNN. “We've got to start dealing with Vladimir Putin in a realistic fashion for what he is. He’s an old KGB colonel apparatchik that dreams of the days of the Russian empire, and he continues to stick his thumb in our eye in a broad variety of ways. Most importantly to me, of course, and should be to the world, is their continued support of [Syrian President] Bashar al Assad and the massacre taking place in Syria."

"Putin always seems almost eager to stick a finger in the eye of the United States—whether it is Syria, Iran and now of course with Snowden," New York Sen. Charles Schumer said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Allies are supposed to treat each other in decent ways."

Some being poked in the eye imagery from resident Senate geniuses Chucky Schumer and John McCain. I’ll bet Putin has as large a dossier on McCain as on Pres. JugEars

I agree. He reminds me of the likes of Sharpton calling us racists. Liberals apparently don’t own mirrors. They need to look in one.

That seems to be your approach, McQueeg.

Go away.

Quit breathing.

I had mixed emotions about Snowden, but he has all the right enemies.

Did the senator explain why we should be concerned if Snowden puts his finger in their eye?
