Just for fun, the McCain Hypocrisy of the Day (re: Franken shutting Lieberman down)
When Sen. Al Franken objected to Sen. Joe Lieberman's request for additional time, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that in his 20-plus years in the Senate he had never heard a senator do that before.

However, a Political Wire reader sends this excerpt from the Congressional Record from October 10, 2002:

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.

Mr. DAYTON. I ask for unanimous consent that I have 30 seconds more to finish my remarks.

Mr. McCAIN. I object.

1. Maybe McCain wan't being hypocritical?
If there wasn't a mirror on the senate floor at the time, he truly didn't "see" it happen.
