You don't like Senator John McCain, and neither do I. But you have to admit, the man does have his moments. And one of the best came this morning:
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain has kicked protesters out of a budget hearing, calling them "low-life scum."
The upheaval came Thursday on Capitol Hill after members of an anti-war group calling itself Code Pink approached a witness table where former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright and George P. Shultz were testifying. The protesters carried signs calling the 91-year-old Kissinger a war criminal.
McCain blurted out, "Get out of here, you low-life scum."
Capitol Police removed the protesters from the room.
Complete with a standing ovation, or at least a round of applause. Speaking for myself, I can never get enough of this kind of straight talk.
Exit question: Where has this low-life scum been for the past six years? I can't imagine, can you?
