Asshat of the Day

UI had one great submission, but after listening to C-SPAN this afternoon, our Asshat of the Day winner is Sen. John McCain (Teabag/Confederate – AZ). A simple motion to bring up the Defense Department Authorization Bill was met with an objection by McCain because it has the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell contained in it. He claimed that the committee chair, Carl Levin (MI) “filled the tree” with unnecessary amendments and that rethuglican amendments didn’t get a fair hearing. Levin responded that the place for debate was on the floor of the Senate, which is why he was trying to bring the bill up for debate. McCain wouldn’t have any of it. Call McCain at 202-224-2235 and ask him why he hates our service members. His refusal to allow this bill to come up for debate will only delay benefits, pay raises, and materiel that our service members need.

John McCain, you’re our Asshat of the Day (actually, you should get it for the rest of the decade for dumping Sarah Palin on us).
