Another reason I despise John McCain

I have had a low opinion of the senior Senator from Arizona since the 1990s. He's such a political opportunist he embarrasses men with more character like Arlan Specter. He will stab America in the back with one abuse of the Constitution after another (e.g. McCain-Feingold) and of course the Republican leadership makes him the nominee in 2008. But this is beyond stupid.

McCain: ‘Why the hell’ do iPhone apps need updating? – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

(CNN) - After questioning Apple CEO Tim Cook in a congressional hearing Tuesday, Sen. John McCain ran out of time and didn't get to ask one pressing question on his mind.

"What I really wanted to ask is why the hell I have to keep updating the apps on my iPhone all the time and why you don't fix that," McCain, an active Tweeter, said–prompting some laughs in the room.

"Sir, we're trying to make them better all the time," Cook responded in kind.

Lawmakers grilled Apple executives over their company's tax strategy, examining why Apple shifts income to an Irish subsidiary to avoid paying U.S. taxes....

I'll ignore Apple's tax policy for my comments. A simple question, is this all McCain has to add to the debate?

A decade ago the then head of the Senate Commerce Committee, John McCain, hosted hearings on steroid use in baseball. In the middle of two wars, deficits coming up, the expansion of more government into local education and a massive expansion of Medicaid with prescription drug coverage, the only thing this genius thinks needs to be covered is "Did Roger Clemens get steroids shot up his ass?" What a waste. McCain probably doesn't know what an ass he was shown to be when the jury acquitted Clemens of perjury.

I've often said we need term limits to protect us from power hungry mini dictators like McCain. I'll give this to Specter, he was honest about wanting power above all and there was nothing beneath him in achieving that goal. McCain is beneath contempt. Hell, he was openly listed as a possible VP for the Kerry campaign in 2004. McCain, just do us all a favor and switch parties. You're with them more than you are with America. But that would require the integrity of a Specter and you can't reach that level.
