WASHINGTON - Sen. John McCain threatened Tuesday to cut short a speech to union leaders who booed his immigration views and later challenged his statements on organized labor and the Iraq war.

But he took more questions, including a pointed one on his immigration plan.

McCain responded by saying immigrants were taking jobs nobody else wanted. He offered anybody in the crowd $50 an hour to pick lettuce in Arizona.

Shouts of protest rose from the crowd, with some accepting McCain’s job offer.

“I’ll take it!” one man shouted.

McCain insisted none of them would do such menial labor for a complete season. “You can’t do it, my friends.

Some in the crowd said they didn’t appreciate McCain questioning their work ethic.

1. McSame is such a dick.

and clueless as to what a good wage is as well.

Hell, I'd pick lettuce for 50 bucks an hour, and I hate being outside.

2. I can't decide

if he is more of a moron or an asshole.

3. 60/40 is my guess

60% moron. 40% asshole. One of the most potent ratios for making a disaster of a leader.

Not 100% clueless, like Shrub, but a lot meaner.
