John McCain's egg-on-face Benghazi comeuppance
by Steveningen

This is a beautiful sight to behold. This press briefing after he emerges from the Petraeus testimony will be marked as the moment when John McCain lost all credibility. His craven selection of Sarah Palin couldn't do it. His loss to President Obama couldn't do it. Even his bitter service on the Senate these past four years couldn't do it. Instead, an attack on our consulate in Libya and his surreal vendetta against the Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, has finally pushed his relevance forever over the edge.

MCCAIN: General Petraeus's briefing was comprehensive. I think it was important. It added to our ability to make judgments about what is clearly a failure of intelligence. And he described his actions and that of the, of his agency and their interaction with other agencies and I appreciate his service and his candor.

It was clear from his very brief and breathless words that he knew just how big a pile of elephant crap he had stepped in. Gone was the demand for the Susan Rice's head on a plate fire he and his toady sidekick Lindsey Graham exhibited just hours before. Gone was his bluster and confidence. That was just a sad man standing there realizing just how much respect he had thrown away. It's how I read it anyway, and if ever a man deserved that moment of complete shame in front of the cameras he constantly craves, that was the moment.

.............

And finally. John McCain, you owe Susan Rice, President Obama, and the American people a sincere apology.

1. That's about as close as we're going to get of any apology from this jerk.

I like the way he turned tail and ran as quickly as he could.

[BlueCaliDem]

26. And yet we, the people, must demand it

or he and his rightwing cronies in the senate will continue to try and block Susan Rice's nom as SoS.

I want to see Lindsey apologize as publicly as he had excoriated the president and U.N. Ambassador Rice. If he's big enough to besmirch this honorable woman's reputation in public and before the cameras, then he should be as big to apologize when he realizes his slandering mistake.

[Cha]

36. Yes, he can run.. and it would be rather nice if he wanted to hide

for quite awhile!

[lalalu]

2. You cannot reason with some people

and they will never apologize.

McCain should have been ignored in the first place. But people like him are always allowed a platform to denigrate anyone who looks or thinks in any way different from him. This has been going on for decades and getting worse. He will be back and the media will once again give him microphone.

[Kookaburra]

3. I'd be happy if he'd just STFU

No apologies needed -- just keep his yap shut.

[njlibguy_19656mm]

41. me too

Can't stand listening to his nonsense.

[MrYikes]

4. IF he has any honor, we will hear an apology.

and it should not be a 5 second blurb, it should be as long as the time he took to "besmirch" his prey.

[theKed]

11. i don't know if

i could endure that many years of constant apology...

[Barack_America]

12. Please don't hold your breath.

He's a "mavrick&quot sp) after all.

[Lex]

5. McCain's become an embarassment

to himself and to the military and to the country. And to his younger self.

[johnq45]

6. WOW........................

MCCAIN LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TOOK HIM TO THE WOOD SHED AND READ HIM THE RIOT ACT!

[msanthrope]

7. Please proceed, Senator....nt

[Paladin]

8. Old And In The Way. (nt)

[kelliekat44]

9. Never happen. McCain has long lost his soul to the Tea Party. He is just a sour old man now.

I used to admire him but this guy is someone I never knew. I guess losing does that to a person. Pity his family.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

13. I agree....

He once had honor.....

[spanone]

10. k&r...

[Segami]

14. Apology & STFU!!

[mzteaze]

15. He looked like he was fighting back the tears...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

[DCBob]

16. Wow. Thats the look and sound of a totally defeated man.

He seemed out of breath for some reason... maybe he was just finished beating the crap out of someone in the Senate bathroom.

[Snarkoleptic]

33. Keep an eye out for Cindy McCain in public appearances.

McNasty does have quite a temper, which prompted rumors of abuse during his Prez run fail.

[MrScorpio]

17. Grampy McPoopPants has just guaranteed a confirmation of Amb. Rice as SecState

This is a balls on Col. Saito moment in American politics.

The Prez should invite him, Little Lindsay and Yertle to the White House for an endorsement announcement.

[Baitball Blogger]

18. A little breathless, McCain was.

[GeorgeGist]

19. McCain should have retired when he was ahead.

10 years ago.

[MjolnirTime]

20. Sandman, get that fool off the stage!

[One of the 99]

21. Wow! He really looks defeated.

He's on one of the Sunday shows tomorrow. I wonder if he will back off or double down on Rice.

[Cha]

37. Of course, he's on one of the Sunday Shows tomorrow.. where would those gasbags

be without John McCain feeding them more bullshit and them nodding their heads?

[rock]

22. How does a Shitpublican apologize?

He barks, "Fuck you! Get out of my way!"

[MrMickeysMom]

23. Wasn't that pathetic?

Here's a tissue, your sockets looked a bit moist...

[bearssoapbox]

24. It would be nice if he finally realized his relevence was over.

It will be interesting to see how he acts in the coming days after being shown how idiotic and foolish he has become.
Remember him dropping everything and going to Washington to save the country and our economy?
And he cursed us with The Snowbilly Grifter.
Go home to the rocking chair on the porch John before you embarrass you or the country again.

[Hugin]

25. K&R

[Botany]

27. boy did he run away quick

he knows he stepped into it big time ..... I doubt McCain will serve out his full term.

[mulsh]

28. I''m happy to say I've never had any respect or admiration for that corupt scum bag.

Don't expect any apology from gramps.

[livetohike]

29. Since he won't step down on his own, perhaps it's time to start a petition

requesting that he do so. Ineffective, irrelevant, and pitiful.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

30. I'm sure he'll issue a swift and sincere apology...

Said Nobody. Ever.

[Auntie Bush]

31. I wonder if that egg on face is fried or raw?

McConnell, Graham, Ayotte and McCain all owe Rice a public apology. Every time one of them gets get in front of a camera...a group should shout, "Where's the apology?" "Where's the apology?" until every single one of them apologizes.

[Snarkoleptic]

32. McCain was breathing heavily because he haz a sad

since his Bengazi binkie was taken away.

Just goes to show how the wingnut media feedback loop makes pugs crazy, dumb and dangerous.

[NightOwwl]

34. He's doubling down.

Asked Saturday at a press conference at the Halifax International Security Forum if anything he was told by Petraeus would change his assessment of what Rice knew and the statements she made, McCain said, "No, because I knew it was a terrorist attack from the beginning. People don't go to spontaneous demonstrations with mortars and RPGs."

35. Thanks kpete.. McCain most certainly Does Owe a Sincere Apology to

Susan Rice and the American People.. and he needs to never tell another lie as long as he lives. That's the Only Way to Atone for his recent Deplorable Behavior.

39. That is wrong on so many levels

but the primary one being it portrays McCain's hand up Graham's ass, when we all know that it's Graham's head that's ...

[hrmjustin]

38. He sold his soul to the right wing.

[Hamlette]

40. wow, he knew he had humiliated himself. Sad chapter.

There was a time when I thought he was one of the few sane republicans. And his time in the prison camp was honorable. Now he will be remembered for Palin and this kind of shit. You'd think after the election they would stop listening to Fox.

Hope he takes Lindsay and his whole party down with him.
