Did anyone see John McCain on MSNBC (Friday)

I can't remember whether it was Larry O'Donnell or Ed Schultz, but someone interviewed him today.

He looked very sad after hearing Petraeus' testimony.

He didn't have much to say.

I can't figure out why he was so sad that Susan Rice was repeating the CIA's unclassified talking points.

Would it make him happy if Susan Rice and President Obama would go around spilling classified secrets on TV?

Wish there was a video clip.

that he apologize to Rice and Obama and America. (202) 224-3121 (Congressional switchboard) ask for Mccain's office (then call back and ask for Lindsay graham's office) Take a minute people, call and demand that they recant and apologize.

Absolutely - let them know we're watching and keeping track. And also, don't forget to remind them that THEY LOST, and Elections Have Consequences. So now is NOT the time for them to think they can play the same moldie-oldie tricks against our President - who just beat their guy decisively.

Four more years of Obama, minority party in the Senate and the only senior committee spot open to him is Indian Affairs, where the only way he can get attention is by rewriting the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which he has already unsuccessfully tried to do. Yeah, he's sad.

He's like an older, straight version of Lindsey Graham, which is an interesting comparison, IMO, since they're both all over the Benghazi bullshit, manufactured scandal. I hate that old, unremarkable prick.... and Lindsey Graham sucks too.

in this whole thing, as is Lindsey Graham, and has enough sense left to know he's being used.

As Republican "Senators for Life", nothing can really hurt either McCain or Graham, as far as their Senate seats go, so they've been appointed to do the Party's dirty work.

McCain hasn't looked like his heart was in this from the beginning. It has looked staged.

... proven by McCain & Graham's behavior this week. They can't imagine that Obama's White House doesn't run like Republicon' White Houses do. Classic sociopathic behavior. He looked so sad because he had shot himself in the foot. He's a right-wing bigoted zealot. Just my opinion..

He is mad that his made up ploy to use the deaths in Benghazi as a political bludgeon to get back at someone for winning an election. Didn't work.

That shows just where his heart is, shows just what human beings mean to him. It is nearly as evil as the smirk on Rmoneys face just hours after the attack.

"Rohrabacher said it was more likely that Obama, UN ambassador Susan Rice and former CIA directer David Petraeus were involved in a conspiracy than that the Obama administration initially received erroneous intelligence reports."

Which means that he will no longer be relevent in politics. Currently he sits on a committee that is very important and he gets a lot of face time on the talking head shows. Not having an important position an any important committees will toss his butt into obscurity and we wont be seeing him cheering more wars on TV

I thought he was going to have a heart attack (Wouldn't that be awful?)
He said as little as possible and never apologized to Rice for his disgraceful comments. Then when a reporter asked him a question McCain gave him the dirtiest look I ever saw and walked off in an embarrassed huff with egg all over his puffy face. He never actually even said he was wrong!

Just one ass-kicking after another (this "loss" after the loss of the election). Are we finally seeing these douches get theirs?
