spot on, Mac bores everyone into a coma, and why all these hearings??? Just so those reps can yak and yak and bla bla bla. I wanted to pass out from this short clip.

Look at it this way. General Petraeus was doing what all good leaders do; looking out for the welfare of their people. They all were at risk of being bored to death so the good General had to act quickly and get them out of the chamber.

What a pompous blowhard McCain is.

Tarheel Repub Out!

Just a few more months and this idiot, McCain, will go back to AZ to defend the mexican, no the American, no the mexican...just let him go home.

That sounds pretty unlikely. It probably was something more mundane like fatigue/jetlag/recovery/low sugar/etc.

Although that's a popular belief, it doesn't pass the smell test.

I'm glad he's OK.

It's true, the General can take being shot with an M-16 but he cant stand McCain's RINO blather. Hayworth's campaign should use - It would be safer to be shot with an M-16 than have to listen to John McCain for another 6 years.

I shouldn't have to remind you all that Senator McCain served his country with honor, and endured long imprisonment and torture while doing it.

Man up and be respectful of a national hero, for God's sake. If he could endure those years of torture for you, you could at least be polite to him.

Marianne, I don't think it's an issue of being polite. They belief that stuff. It's just a totally wacky conspiracy. I've seen this widespread belief on other sites, and it doesn't make sense when liberals scream it either.

It's creepy and deviod of logic. If large swaths of people believe the "Stare At Goats" conspiracy, then who knows what madness and evil they're willing to do in their fake reality.

C'mon. The guy fainted. That's it.
