What a complete Jerk. He should be arrested and charged. You know if Obama were to have done this every right winger would be on Him like stink on shit. How utterly disgraceful.

Larry

Hay, cut the guy some slack. He's old. Problaby has bladder problems. Had to go. To him it may have been an emergency. Then again he may have been drunk. Dispatcher's Joe didn't tell him "I love you man".

Why does it matter what a sibling of a presidential candidate did?

Write him a ticket.

Put him in Jail.

Whatever.

It doesn't affect McCain in a single way except that they can laugh about it after the election.

You know if Obama were to have done this every right winger would be on Him like stink on shit.

Of course they would be, Larry. After all, the man is running for president. As far as I can tell (at least by the article) Joe is not running for any particular office. When the left has to diss a candidate's sibling to score political points, something is very, very wrong with that person, or very very right about the candidate.

Billy Beer, anyone?

Well Goatman-your buddies have so far gone after Obama's Mother, Father, Grandmother, Brother, Wife, and although I haven't seen anything yet-I have no doubt they'll soon be going after his kids.
McNasty/failin' ain't gettin' the traction they'd hoped on any of their bs.
You guys are just gonna have to live with it.

Is this any different than Tom Delay calling out Homeland Security to look for the Democrats when they tried to block his gerrymandering?

"Caller: "(Expletive) you." (caller hangs up) "

The Rage Brothers take their show on the road.

I hope I am not judged on the character of my siblings because...I have no control over them.

And then he was stupid enough to call back and complain:
Caller: Somebody gave me this riot act about the violation of police.

Operator: Did you just call 911 in reference to this?

Caller: Yeah.

Operator: 911 is to be used for emergencies only not just because you're sitting in traffic.

Isn't this the same brother who's campaigning for Johnnyboy? So, technically, his campaign is misusing 9-1-1.

Cranky Old Men Part Whatever!

Bet Giuliani's siblings don't misuse 9-1-1.

Yawn.

Oh my goodness! I was so going to vote for McCain, but after this, it's Obama all the way!!!

C'mon guys, grow up and realize that McCain has no control over what his sibling does. This has NO bearing on the election.

I have no doubt they'll soon be going after his [Obama's] kids.

Frank, your partisanship must be blinding you so you don't realize that both sides have and continue to go after family members.

C'mon guys, grow up and realize that McCain has no control over what his sibling does.

But Mccadaver will take him off his campaign for this crime, right?

That'll decide on whether or not Mccadaver wears this or not.

And then I bet you'll change your vote to Obama, right? Oh wait, let me guess, you're already in the tank for Obama, right? Figures - just another partisan hack.

Still waiting for proof that Trig belongs to Bristol. See, both righties and lefties are guilty of slander and outright lies!

...but Obama has control of what Jesse jackson says?

this is already the second time this lame-ass, cranky 2nd class McCain has gotten his foot into it. Just a few weeks ago he called a couple of Northern Virginia suburbs "communist countries". Must be a family thing.

What a dickhead!

Bart-when compared to Mcacdaver, a senile, desperate planless old hypocrite, I'd vote Barr before him. Mccadaver was bad before Palin, now he's stupid and bad.

What the fuck happened to Senator McCain on his road to Candidate Mccadaver?

Still waiting for proof that Trig belongs to Bristol.

If Palin had told the truth (something Righties hate to do) instead of attempting to cover up her daughter's sluttiness, the whole Trig thing would never have happened. The questions arose because Bristol looked very much like she was just post-preggo, in spite of saint sarah's attempts to hide her.

Right - even when lefties are wrong on their ridiculous smears and conspiracy theories, it's the fault of conservatives. You people are pathetic.

Sad truth is that Joe McNasty (not just a family name) will not even get his hand slapped for this...

If it was any other "Joe" (the Plumber) there would be fines and possible jail time.

What will hurt McNasty is if he protects his POS bro Joe from prosecution.

Joe probably belongs to the same social club as the old lady who refuses to give kids' footballs back when they land in her yard. Miserable old bastards!

C'mon guys, grow up and realize that McCain has no control over what his sibling does. This has NO bearing on the election.

The interaction between Bro McCranky and the dispatcher implied that Bro McCranky believes he has some sort of privilege as John's brother. Since character of the family seems to be in play in the presidential election, I would say this story is very relevant.

Privilege as Johns Brother...there is a word for that...hmmm, what is it...OH yeah!--elitism!

"Go fuck yourself." -- cheney

"""C'mon guys, grow up and realize that McCain has no control over what his sibling does."""

No. But the behavior of a sibling can at times be very telling about a family's psych. traits or character. If some guy beats his wife, hates gays and steals for a living, his brother might have a similar behavior pattern or belief system.

Apples never fall far from the tree...

Right - even when lefties are wrong on their ridiculous smears and conspiracy theories, it's the fault of conservatives

Yeah, when conservatives get caught lying, it's all the left's fault. Maybe if there were a few honest Republicans, they wouldn't get caught covering shit up so often. If saint sarah had been honest and up front about Bristol's bun in the oven, there wouldn't have been any questions. Then again, maybe Mccadaver wouldn't have selected her.

"Power First, Country whenever we get around to it." Mcacadaver/Apalin 2008

I don't think Obama's supporters should start getting into the whole guilt by association thing.

While it is both very stupid to make such a call and a very low level violation, cite him and let the judge sentence him to 0ne "class A bitch slap". It ain't the McCain that is a political fool so it ain't relevant to the election. Though it does show a family trait. Stupidity!

The least this idiot should do is pay a fine for this! Grampy Poopy Pants is obviously stuck with a brother who has a very serious problem controlling that big mouth of his. Hint to Grampy: Duct tape is said to work well in situations like this.

Mccadaver was bad before Palin, now he's stupid and bad.
#19 | Posted by northguy3

Agreed. So why not judge McCain and Palin on their own words and actions, instead of drudging up some stupid story about his brother that he has no control over?

If some guy beats his wife, hates gays and steals for a living, his brother might have a similar behavior pattern or belief system.
#26 | Posted by panchovilla

Or he might not. Your statement is meaningless. the brother might look at his sibling and say "what a jerk, I'm glad I'm nothing like him". What's next, when McCain's brother is caught with a joint we all assume that McCain is a druggie? Laughable.

What a complete Jerk. He should be arrested and charged. You know if Obama were to have done this every right winger would be on Him like stink on shit. How utterly disgraceful.

It wasn't John, it was his brother. obama's brother live in a grass shack in Africa.

Laughable.

#33 | Posted by bartimus

One would think that most people who are running for political office would distance themselves from a sibling who exhibits such contrary behavior. If said contrary behavior becomes an issue then a reasonable person would repudiate it. If McCain does not publicly castigate his brother for this, he demonstrates poor judgment.

I am no McCain supporter but......... he isn't responsible for what his brother says or does.

You caqn only be responsible for and apologize for what YOU do.

"...he isn't responsible for what his brother says or does."

#36 | Posted by Sniper

I guess you're only responsible if it is someone you served on a board of directors with.

Got it.

See, you don't choose your relitives or supporters but you do choose your friends. Your friends say a lot about you.

I've already said this doens't reflect on John McCain.

But you have to wonder what this imbecile was thinking. Is the 9/11 operator going to clear traffice over the phone? What a tard.

Ouch.

Not even when Bro McCranky is campaigning on John's behalf?? Bullshit!

John McCain has no control over the actions of his brother.

He is not responsible for his brother.

His brother is not the one running for President.

The polite and correct things having been said, this just gets better and better.

Palin tried to hide Bristol's pregnancy, she's been found guilty of ethics violations in Troopergate, she can't string together a coherent answer in interviews and she has run amok in Saks Fifth Avenue on the nickel of McCain's donors.

There's a "campaign worker" (who, from the looks of her, I would not hire to work in a Mickey D's) claiming she was set upon and carved up by an Obamamaniac, a story that's falling apart.

McCain's own brother is now found to have abused the 911 service.

You can't make this shit up. Now either McCain is the unluckiest guy in the world to be surrounded by all this, or his campaign has become a nexus for crazy stuff because of the karma at the top. Heh.

"Hi this is Joe McCain. I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very (inaudible) important political project. I hope on November 4th we have elected John."

So why not judge McCain and Palin on their own words and actions,

been there, done that. Apparently most of the voters too. Read the polls.

If John's brother is working on his campaign, John is responsible to the extent he either has to, at the least, apologize to the police or send the old fucker home. Plan 3 could be a lot of prune juice and take away his cell phone.

"why not judge McCain and Palin on their own words and actions...?"

And Obama by the words and actions of associates...right?

dan, you pick your friends just like you kick your nose. You are responsible for what you pick.

"You are responsible for what you pick."

Who picked McCain's brother to campaign for McCain?

If Dick Cheney can have a gay sister without issue, then McCain is allowed to have an overly entitled and oblivious brother. Lets just hope that if McCain were to win his brother would not have a direct line to the white house next time he gets mad about the traffic.

"If Dick Cheney can have a gay sister without issue, then McCain is allowed to have an overly entitled and oblivious brother."

Now that is an issue, though Mary Cheney is Big Dick's daughter, not his sister. Cheney is one of the heads of a party that works day and night, night and day (thank you, Cole Porter!) to abrogate the rights of gay Americans, yet he can't seem to make the connection between his professional judgements and the well-being of a member of his own family.

And you do have to wonder to what extent being "overly entitled and oblivious" runs in the McCain family, especially given McCain's personal history and his actions during this campaign season.

Mary-the "black men are after the hite wimmin" Mcmaniac victim has now confessed to lying. karma just ran over John's dogma.

Then backed up over it.

Brother McCain called 911 to complain that there was a black man blocking his family's way to the
White House.

As an honest Democrat I will not bash John McCain's brother because I remember another presidential brother who out did all presidential brothers....even got a beer named after himself.

That Schlitz Coolidge was a real loser!

I don't care what you say, Billy Carter was, at least, entertaining. Ghadafi like him too.

"""C'mon guys, grow up and realize that McCain has no control over what his sibling does."""

Is his brother part of the Campaign and does McCain associate with him?

I bet he is and I bet he does!

McCain associates with lunatics!!!

And now you see how that works!!!!

Chill out with the exclamation point, dude - just add a few swear words and it's a Celisary post! :^)

When was the last time you saw me making an issue of Obama and Wright/Ayers/etc.? Or is the campaign no longer about the issues and just an association contest? Making an issue about McCain's brother (and yes, Obama's association with those in his past) just clouds the issues. I'm pretty sure McCain won't win on issues alone; can Obama? If so - why the stupid attacks?

"Hi this is Joe McCain. I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very (inaudible) important political project. I hope on November 4th we have elected John."

Any guesses on what was inaudible. Probably something that starts with an "F".

However, like the Ayres stuff, this is pretty irrelevant to who should be president. Think Billy Carter.

"Is he like Billy Carter?"

God I hope so. Otherwise, why would I be here?

His brothers name is JOE! Ha ha ha hah hah that is SO RICH!

The media headlines are already replacing JOE the plumber with JOE THE HOTHEAD!
