Proof That Bloggers Are Foul-Mouthed

Just look at the nastiness and uncouth, vile language these bloggers spew... oh wait that's a Presidential candidate.

At a bipartisan gathering in an ornate meeting room just off the Senate floor, McCain complained that Cornyn was raising petty objections to a compromise plan being worked out between Senate Republicans and Democrats and the White House. He used a curse word associated with chickens and accused Cornyn of raising the issue just to torpedo a deal.

Things got really heated when Cornyn accused McCain of being too busy campaigning for president to take part in the negotiations, which have gone on for months behind closed doors. “Wait a second here,” Cornyn said to McCain. “I’ve been sitting in here for all of these negotiations and you just parachute in here on the last day. You’re out of line.”

McCain, a former Navy pilot, then used language more accustomed to sailors (not to mention the current vice president, who made news a few years back after a verbal encounter with Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont).

“[Expletive] you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room,” shouted McCain at Cornyn.


I could care less about saying f-you, I use it to make the point about how the media faints at the sight of any profanity directed at them. What should concern everyone is the line directly after the curse, "I know more about this than anyone else in the room." Do we really need another President that's as arrogant as all get out?

And by the way, if I had spent months in negotiations over this legislation, and this yahoo who's missed the last 42 roll call votes because he's running for President jumps into the press conference like he's been there all along, I'd be pretty pissed off myself.
