McCain Apologizes For Calling Rand Paul, Ted Cruz ‘Wacko Birds’

Submitted by legalizeliberty on Fri, 03/15/2013 - 21:34

Politics, General + Law(s)

Friday afternoon on Fox News, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) delivered his first on-camera apology to his Senate colleagues Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) for calling them “wacko birds” in an interview with The Huffington Post following Paul’s filibuster.

Responding to a question from Neil Cavuto about his recent confrontations with the younger generation of his party, McCain offered a humble and sincere apology. “In an interview I said that Senator Paul and Senator Cruz were ‘wacko birds,’” he said. “That was inappropriate. I apologize to them for saying that because I respect them both. I respect what they stand for and what they believe in.”

McCain's apology did not

McCain's apology did not sound sincere or contrite, but it did sound like a political maneuver.

If a news article

feels the need to lead the readers by their nose rings by adding the description "humble and sincere" to the story, then it wasn't humble or sincere.

Wow, speaking of nose rings, 50 years ago that meant a ring a bull had in his nose that was used to control him, but so many people have nose rings nowadays that the metaphor loses its meaning.

Oh, him.

Funny how a few words can make you totally irrelevant.

I hope him and his girlfriend Lindsay G. have a nice retirement.

They make such a nice power couple, you know, being invited to have dinner with Chairman Mao on the night Rand Paul raised HELL with his filibuster.

I think that the name

I think that the name Benedict Arnold should be replaced by John McCain as the synonym for traitor. I also think he needs a good nickname similar to the one that rick santorum has , frothy. Anyone know how to make that happen.

McCain uses the most underhanded political tactic in the business - the apology. What a scumbag. His SMEAR backfired on him and now he's trying to do damage control. Must have felt a primary challenge coming on...

Like Diane Feinstein, knowing the ulterior motives and outcomes of the position they take for world domination by their sponsors, they become so immersed in their own emotional bullshit, then get so old, get Alzheimer's and forget their original purpose for being there, and eventually can never be redeemed. This is the same problem with a lot of the old coots in DC.

Our sole purpose should be to remove McCain and Graham from office.

We should set up several PACs to raise money for this purpose.

#1 fight these two in their primaries

#2 if they win their primary then support the democrat

Eff off, McCain!

His "apology" was followed by a long winded

Submitted by TemeculaPatriot on Fri, 03/15/2013 - 22:36. Permalink

but... Whenever someone does that it, in my opinion, is not a true apology. Did he apologize to Rand or Cruz face to face? McCain said we are in greater danger today than in the past. I think that is true precisely because of the agressive, intervention policies he and others have forced on other countries. The blow back is coming.

I don't want to start a new thread on this topic, but I noticed Huffington Post is trying to take the Civil Liberties football from the Liberty Movement these days. Maybe someone else can do a story on it sometime.

Their current top story now;
