The McCain Family Anger

posted by on October 24 at 9:37 AM

As Towleroad reports, “Anger management issues apparently run in the family. John McCain’s brother Joe placed a call to 911 earlier this week because he was stuck in traffic in Alexandria, Virginia.”

Astounding news report, including the instigating 911 call and its bizarre follow-up calls, below.

How does knowing this actually make us any smarter... about anything? That's it! I was on the fence but now I'm not voting for McCain now because his brother is an idoit!

Joe McCain
Backwards 'B' Mugging
Joe the "Plummer"
Obama using campaign Jet for Tutu.
"[I, Sarah Palin] did not accept $150,000 worth of designer clothes from the Republican Party and "that is not who we are."


This is getting pathetic.

It might not make us smarter about anything (except the fascinating freakiness of the human animal), but it will perhaps teach you something about double posting and the proper spelling of "idiot."

#1, does everything you read or watch have to make you smarter?....Maybe this is just for entertainment purposes....

WDS - This post is the Slog's equivalent of Oddball on Countdown. I don't think David posted this to convince you to vote for Obama, just in case you were sitting on the fence.

Just regular folks....with a colossal sense of entitlement, to whom other people are invisible.

I would have thought he was a douchenozzle just based on his voicemail message alone, but calling 911 about traffic clinched it for him.

Not sure what this proves, but apparently the entire McCain family is senile and cranky, not just John.

Dear 911, these pants seem tight. They fit perfectly the last time I wore them, in April. What do you think could be causing this?

Dear 911, my neighbor across the street takes an inordinately long time to parallel-park her car in the afternoon. Is there anything that can be done?

Dear 911, do you hear that ringing in your ears? I do, and it's driving me mad. It sounds like a voice saying "fuck me like superman". Hello? 911? Are you there?
