” ...my,my, but aren’t we in a bad mood today...fear not, I’m sure your milk and cookies will be arriving shortly...
actually, I have no idea how to contact the senator, but if you’re in such an all fired rush to do so, you do the legwork...”

Easy Irish. What brought this on?

Nobody despises McCain more than me......well, maybe Jessup : )
