Then he ran for President again, pandered to the assholes that got Dubya elected, picked Palin, & became a mockery of the John McCain of old.
And here we are.
Basically, on Wednesday McCain held a press conference on Benghazi, calling for more answers while at the same time skipping a classified briefing on Benghazi. When called on it by a CNN producer, this exchange happened:
CNN wrote:
When CNN approached McCain in a Capitol hallway Thursday morning, the senator refused to comment about why he missed the briefing, which was conducted by top diplomatic, military and counter-terrorism officials. Instead, McCain got testy when pressed to say why he wasn’t there.
“I have no comment about my schedule and I’m not going to comment on how I spend my time to the media,” McCain said.
Asked why he wouldn’t comment, McCain grew agitated: “Because I have the right as a senator to have no comment and who the hell are you to tell me I can or not?”
When CNN noted that McCain had missed a key meeting on a subject the senator has been intensely upset about, McCain said, “I’m upset that you keep badgering me.”

Now, his spokesman said it was a scheduling error. But really, this just further proves the old McCain is gone & has been replaced by another politician that would rather attempt to score political points rather than solve an actual problem.
