|
|
So, over the years, John McCain's brother has said some pretty douchey things... calling democrats communists, total dickery with regards to Jews, and the like.
His latest exploit? http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/report-john-mcc.html
The thrust:
Quote: | Operator: 9 state your emergency
Caller: It's not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?
Operator: Sir, are you calling 9 to complain about traffic? (pause)
Caller: "(Expletive) you." (caller hangs up) |
The caller, of course, is Joe McCain. (no relation to the plumber)
To be fair, this really has nothing to do with McCain or the election... it's just funny. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

I would argue that it might have a little to do with John McCain the man. |

Meh, John McCain can't help it if his brother is a dick.
What's of more concern is the fact that John McCain is such a dick. Did you see his interview with Wolf Blitzer? _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Wolf Blitzer is the man. No one gets to be a dick to Wolf Blitzer.
I'm surprised McCain lived through that interview (which I didn't see). |

He played to poor little republican being beat up by the big back liberal elite media (i.e. Blitzer).

So...this story got a tad bit juicier.
After hanging up, Joe McCain got a call on his answering machine from the 9 operator telling him not to use the police line for his bullshit.
(By the way, his machine message was this: "Hi. This is Joe McCain. I can't take this message now because I'm involved in a very important family political project.")
So the fucker calls 9 again to say this:
Quote: | Caller: Somebody gave me this riot act about the violation of police.
Operator: Did you just call 9 in reference to this?
Caller: Yeah.
Operator: 9 is to be used for emergencies only not just because you're sitting in traffic. |

As wrong as it is for someone to call 9 to ask about a traffic update, isn't it equally wrong for 9 to call them back instead of taking actual emergency calls? |

Not if the 9 operator had someone else make the call, which seems to be the case. Because of the wording of the statement ("did you just call 9 about this"), it seems like they passed it along to a regular number/operator and left that number on his machine. |
