McCain: Still a Liar: Still A Stupid RepubliCON: Still a Fool!!!

Whited Sepulchers

CSPAN footage of McCain denying Dem Senator extra time in debate blacked out

By Diana Sweet




When Senator Al Franken (D-MN) this week denied Senator Joe Liebermans (I-CT) request for more time to make his points on health care reform, he was blasted by Fox news who called him an angry comedian and berated him for mistreating the kind senator from Connecticut. Conservative blogger Ann Althouse called it a dick move, and columnist and Fox News correspondent Michelle Malkin railed against Frankens little snit fit.

Frankens move instantly hit Senator John McCains (R-AZ) concern trigger and, speaking right after Lieberman, he seemed outraged as he remarked, Ive been around here twenty-some years, first time Ive seen a member denied a minute or two to finish his remarks. And I must say that I dont know whats happening here in this body, but I think its wrong.

Well, it seems Senator McCain may have had a bit of a memory lapse. As Faiz Shakir of Think Progress points out, in October of 2002, McCain refused to grant just 30 seconds of extra time during the Iraq war debate to former Senator Mark Dayton (D-MN).

MSNBCs Rachel Maddow last night featured a segment with video, and the transcript from CSPANs archives that doesnt show us John McCain denying another senator time to finish making a point during an important debate because mysteriously, the CSPAN video, Maddow explains It, it...it just goes to black. The audio and the video just inexplicably go blank. Luckily, as Maddow points out, we still know exactly what happens thanks to the transcripts.

An interesting aside: at about seven minutes into the Maddow Show video there is footage of an ailing 92-year old Senator Byrd being wheeled into the Senate for a procedural vote, and the Republicans applauding him for being there. Byrd however, wasnt pleased with having to be out of bed at that hour and begins to blast the GOP members crying -Shame. Shame.
