McCain Calls Paul, Cruz, Amash ‘Wacko Birds’

[Purveyor]

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is continuing to criticize his fellow Republicans for their filibuster of incoming CIA Director John O. Brennan over drone policy. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain referred to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) and Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) as “wackos.”

“They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else,” McCain said. “But I also think that when, you know, it’s always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone.”

Asked to clarify, McCain said he was referencing ”Rand Paul, Cruz, Amash, whoever.”

8. mccain's hilarious in a tragic way.. once in a

rare while he gets it right even as he's steeped in hypocrisy. "Whacko" on Benghazi? You betcha.

5. That Amash or Awash...whatever it is...is sure a cocky one.

Looks like we may be seeing him at the mike to get the limelight, himself.

I have to agree with McCain. Someone sure has to trim the arrogance of these clowns.

Off to the grocery for more popcorn. I'm buying popcorn to be made the old-fashioned way...pop it myself so I have better control of the quantity. Reddenbacher bags are hardly big enough to get through on crisis and the Pugs are gearing up for a lot more in the future. The roosters are throwing dirt with their cock-of-the-walk dance/display, so be ready to duck.

6. Hey, Born-Again Rand Paul Supporters Here At DU:

If I'm going to use that "Broke Clock Is Right Twice A Day" meme you've been pushing to justify siding with a crazed right-winger, I'll go with McGramps here, rather than insanely authoritarian, genuinely dangerous shitstains like Rand Paul or Ted Cruz.
