That was an embarrassing exchange for McCain and it closed out the hearing.

That clip will likely live forever.

No need to pile on a person who clearly is no longer the person he once was. It is so obvious to everyone. The question then becomes - how to leave the public eye with dignity and class. I hope McCain's family and friends can help him do that.

I've about had it with old men who can't follow a line of thought being in power.

I hate that because I've respected how he conducted himself and conceded when he lost against Obama. I respect his service and sacrifice for this country.

Now, it's just sad because his mental faculties aren't there any longer. It's time for him to leave his office with dignity.

The husband and I were both aghast watching him.
