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: 911 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 911 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.

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?

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).

It was pathetic.

So...this story got a tad bit juicier.

After hanging up, Joe McCain got a call on his answering machine from the 911 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 911 again to say this:

Quote:
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.

As wrong as it is for someone to call 911 to ask about a traffic update, isn't it equally wrong for 911 to call them back instead of taking actual emergency calls?

Not if the 911 operator had someone else make the call, which seems to be the case. Because of the wording of the statement ("did you just call 911 about this"), it seems like they passed it along to a regular number/operator and left that number on his machine.
