McCain to Cornyn: "F--- YOU!

McCain to Cornyn: "F--- YOU! I know MORE about this (amnesty) than anyone else in the room!"

This salty exchange followed a mere attempt by a good and decent man Texas Senator John Cornyn - who himself has to wrestle with illegal immigration in his home state as well - attempted to ascertain some clarity on the number of appeals illegals would have in the new bill.

During a meeting Thursday on immigration legislation, McCain and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) got into a shouting match when Cornyn started voicing concerns about the number of judicial appeals that illegal immigrants could receive, according to multiple sources -- both Democrats and Republicans -- who heard firsthand accounts of the exchange from lawmakers who were in the room.

At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that Cornyn was raising petty objections to a compromise plan being worked out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. He used a curse word associated with chickens and accused Cornyn of raising the issue just to torpedo a deal.

Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. "Wait a second here," Cornyn said to McCain. "I've been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You're out of line."

McCain, a former Navy pilot, then used language more accustomed to sailors (not to mention the current vice president, who made news a few years back after a verbal encounter with Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont).

"[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room," shouted McCain at Cornyn.

McCain is an ill-tempered, arrogant, obnoxious windbag... and one not fitting to be President!

Just what I would expect from McCain : )

[SteveMcKing]

I hope they ask him all about it at the next debate.

[Tarpon]

That McCain sure has a short fuse, way too short for me.

Flooding America with demographic changing numbers of illegals and making them citizens might be good for socialist politicians, but it spells doom for America as we know it. 50 million more social security and welfare recipients is not a good thing.

[Reagan Man]

BFD! ;^)

[nralife]

“curse word associated with chickens”

eggs? chicks? rhymes with chicks? beaks? I don’t get it... lol

[stephenjohnbanker]

: )

[Vigilanteman]

50 million more social security and welfare recipients is not a good thing.

And AARP, who was so damned quick to muster their minions to kill even a small privatization plan, is totally out to lunch on this issue that would move up the doomsday scenario on social security up at least ten years.

[no dems]

John Cornyn is a decent and honorable man. He’d make a great VEEP candidate.

McCain is a jerk.

I think candidates who are running for office full-time should forfeit their Congressional/Senate pay.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“Flooding America with demographic changing numbers of illegals and making them citizens might be good for socialist politicians, but it spells doom for America as we know it”

Correct!

[GraniteStateConservative]

I can’t for the life of me figure out what curse word there is associated with chickens. Chicken excrement, maybe. But chickens?

[Paleo Conservative]

Cornyn should run video clips of this for his reelection campaign.

[Dawgreg]

That Charlie Chaplin look-alike is bonkers! I consider him a candidate though.........for the loony bin!

[lone star annie]

How about Chicken S#$t!!! Hey McCain F YOU!!

[prophetic]

Chickens = CLUCK

CLUCK = LUCK

Then 'LUCK' changes in the first letter....

You'll get it...

[NeoCaveman]

Chicken excrement, maybe.

We have a winner.

[ustanker]

Wonder if we can write F .U. to him when he sends his Fundraising Junk?

[Plutarch]

McCain, and Bush, and Quisling Republicans, to Americans: “F-— YOU!

[NeoCaveman]

From the Post:

“In a heated dispute over immigration-law overhaul, McCain screamed, “F- - - you!” at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation.

“This is chickens- - - stuff,” McCain snapped at Cornyn, according to several people in the room off the Senate floor Thursday. “You’ve always been against this bill, and you’re just trying to derail it.”

[ChildOfThe60s]

McCain and Hillary separated at birth?

[TUAN_JIM]

Did McCain pull this amnesty crap because he thought it would get his former MSM buddies back on the Straight Talk Express? He must know this will sink any shot he had in the primary.

[Liberty Valance]

I smell strawberries. ;o)

[Laptop_Ron]

McCain knows what he’s talking about. If he says “F*** You! He means it. Didn’t he just help the democrats F*** the whole country? I’m telling you, the man’s an expert.

[Schatze]

I just looked up the word declasse in the dictionary and what did I find? McCaniac’s picture.

[JohnLongIsland]

correct me if i am mistaken, but it seems that to mccain the vanity of being a rock star in the d.c. social circle is more important than the republican presidential nomination.

[finnman69]

That McCain sure has a short fuse, way too short for me.

Could be useful. Reminds me of a story about Nixon. Nixon wanted to slip word to the North Vietnamese that had a very short fuse, so for god sakes dont provoke him, he's got his finger on the button. Nixon called it "The Madman Theory".

[quantim]

Not sure if McCain is a greater embarrassment to the nation and world because he is a senator or a republican.

Or maybe both.

Definitely both.

[Tarpon]

There is one hang up, the new welfare state doesn’t have the money, so taxes will have to sky rocket to cover the $2.5 Trillion shortfall.

Then there is this little thing about the coming caliphate. Making all the illegal Muslims citizens instead of deporting them doesn’t sound smart.

[Schatze]

He must know this will sink any shot he had in the primary.

He already knew he had no chance, so the "immigration reform bill" (aka the "democrat registration bill") is his way of getting back at America -- especially the Republicans.

[Valin]

If I may quote Hugh Hewitt “John McCain, A great American, bad Senator, terrible republican.”

[Tarpon]

McCain’s short fuse is is directed at what happens when he doesn’t get his way. Little chance of McCain having the balls to actually do anything, especially militarily.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see McCain switch parties after AMNESTY passes.

[streetpreacher]

Republican primary voters to John McCain: Ditto.

[stephenjohnbanker]

“John Cornyn is a decent and honorable man. He’d make a great VEEP candidate.”

I agree!

[stephenjohnbanker]

I wish I could help you. I can’t.

[TLI]

McCain to Cornyn: "F--- YOU! I know MORE about this (amnesty) than anyone else in the room!"

Aww, that's just `lil Johnny waiving his new flag! Look!




He helped to announce his new flag with his old friends...




And his new friends!




They are starting a new club...

[streetpreacher]

Sorry Hugh, Amnesty does not McCain a great American, nor Bush one for that matter.

[TUAN_JIM]

He already knew he had no chance, so the "immigration reform bill" (aka the "democrat registration bill") is his way of getting back at America -- especially the Republicans.

I hadn't thought of that. You're probably right. He is vindictive. I went through flight school at McCain field, and he was notorious. He's still trying to BRAC the field to get back at Meridian.

[Nam Vet]

Hey McVain!!! F--- YOU! You've used up all your goodwill long ago in my book. Retire from the Senate and go back to Arizona ...... in time you'll find all those marbles you've been missing these last several years.

“McCain to Cornyn: “F-— YOU! I know MORE about this (amnesty) than anyone else in the room!”

This is what happens when a person is a Senator for FAR too long. McCain is too damned full of himself. He’s a condescending hothead that shouldn’t be anywhere near the red button.

[Real Cynic No More]

I’m concerned that so many of us are willing to accept such an unstable person as McCain as our President, and are actually supporting him.

[GATOR NAVY]

I think candidates who are running for office full-time should forfeit their Congressional/Senate pay.

Ef 'em. They should have to resign. Bob Dole had that part right.

[dusttoyou]

Maybe FRED’s got an eye on our man Cornyn, too. Hope so.

[imahawk]

Who got the balls?

[Schatze]

He's still mad about not getting the nomination in 2000, so he's gonna make us all pay for it. The Republicans need to target him in his 2008 senate re-election bid.

[BobS]

"McCain screamed, “F- - - you!” at Texas Sen. John Cornyn, who had been raising concerns about the legislation."

What a nice bunch of lads. Cornyn is a gentleman for not hauling off at McCain.

[Baynative]

McCain’s presidential campaign ended with his amnesty collaboration. Now we need to find someone who will step up and knock him out of the Senate ...J.D. Hayworth, maybe?

[Rightfootforward]

McCain belongs in a psychiatric hospital NOT the White House.

Oh and for the record, Senator Cornyn ROCKS!

[Schatze]

... in time you'll find all those marbles you've been missing these last several years.

He may have had marbles once, but now he has rocks in his head.

[B4Ranch]

_________sucker

[TomGuy]

This can’t be true.

At the debate, IIRC, McCain was asked about his temper, and he said he had never had any temper tantrums.

He also said he has never supported amnesty for illegals.

So there.
