"Senator McCain was absent from the hearing due to a scheduling error," says McCain spokesman Brian Rogers.

1. LOL--is that "scheduling error" a euphemism for "forgot a meeting

was going on"?

2. He's not too bright...

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Bzzzt. Sorry wrong answer Mclame.

Your goose is cooked and your talking point is now moot. Now go away.

[MADem]

4. OK, that is funny as hell.

He says Susan Rice "Isn't very bright" but he can't even make it to an IMPORTANT meeting like that one? After carping and crabbing about the topic ad infinitum?

Puh-leeze. Who's the nitwit, again?

[Enrique]

5. I think we should have hearings about his scheduling error

due to the serious nature of this issue. Remember 4 Americans died.

9. You are a very, very smart person

[Enrique]

12. you too

also you are a very good judge of intelligence as am I.

[MADem]

11. By his words we shall know him! nt

[BlueToTheBone]

14. Indeed. And McCain won't forget on television

just in the actual hearing!

[Voice for Peace]

18. This statement from McCain sounds to me like a cover up.

You are right, an investigation is in order, stat.

[Angry Dragon]

6. The American people demand a Senate open hearing on what Brian Rogers knew

and when he knew it and if he thinks old man mccain thinks giving interviews is more important than doing his job

We need to know and we need to know now

[The Magistrate]

7. Too Busy Thumbing His Nose At Our President, Sir, is the Only 'Scheduling Error' Here....

"What a nimrod! What a ultra-maroon!"

[snooper2]

8. Ah, so it wasn't that important right McShame?

or did you just not want to embarass yourself with the questions freepers want you to ask?

[BeyondGeography]

10. Nobody could have predicted that meeting

[reflection]

17. This is the funniest post in the thread. n/t

15. BENGHAZI!!!! BENGHAZI!!! ITS A MASSIVE HUGH HUGH GINUMNGOUS STORY!!!1111

BENGHAZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIII Waaaaaaaaarggggghkllll derp

[Dalai_1]

16. I do hope McCain

had the good sense to be ashamed of his VP choice..Sarah Palin....
He will have to live with that.....forever......I imagine that humiliation
made everything else in his life "pale" in comparison.. he just
keeps getting worse!

[Berlum]

20. The only thing Republicans got going is LAME EXCUSES

As usual.

[SDjack]

21. McCain you are unworthy. Resign.

[GeorgeGist]

22. and nobody cared.

[Lucy Goosey]

23. In his defense, he is very, very old

Time to retire, Senator Forgetful-pants?

[bigwillq]

24. What a dope.

[Grammy23]

25. Oh Puh, Leeze......and the dog ate my homework.

Mr. McCain is a piece of work. Many posters here have observed that he is still smarting over the loss he took to Barack Obama in 2008 and I think his recent behavior is adequate proof of that. Anything he can say or do to go after Obama he will do. For some reason, McCain is suffering under the delusion that he is still relevant and that we care what he thinks or believes. Someone please take him aside and give him the news. We lost respect for him and wrote him off a long time ago. John, do us a favor and just shut up and go away.

28. It is obvious that McCain et al are...

INCAPABLE of separating lies from facts. Their scheme here seems to have a couple possibilities: 1) get Kerry appointed to UN or DOD so "they" can resurrect Scott (look at me,a bare-chested hunk) Brown to the Senate. 2) smear Susan Rice so both her UN position or her potential appointment to SOS are jeopardized. They, and most every Repuke on the hill, are not even worthy of scorn. They really are the lowest form of pond scum.

26. I demand a full investigation into this supposed "scheduling error"

[Blue4Texas]

27. Liar

29. Real cracker-jack group of people these Republicans have up at the top.
