Oh..... SUPER Fail on this one. It is just kinda beyond words how MUCH the man fails.
Was he thinking he'd ever run for public office, anywhere again? My goodness..he just supplied the perfect (really, people pay big money and don't get tag lines THAT good) phrase to be quoted on forever!
I don't even like Code Pink, to be honest. I think they are somewhere out past where even Doves fly for peacenik, and in a world that is anything BUT peaceful.
Still....I rather 'disagree', to put it mildly, with the American Nazi Party too. Yet, I think the U.S. Supreme Court was 100% correct in its decision letting them have their hateful little parade in Skokie, Illinois. Freedom is a pain sometimes, and especially when the people are pissed off about things.

Yes...They do routinely interrupt things. They're kinda like a bad penny or the cat that came back and wouldn't go away. I don't believe for a second it was anything terribly different in what they did, either. Shock protest like that is just what they do.
McCain just got Chairmanship of the committee with Republicans regaining control and 'there's a new sheriff in town who is going to let everybody know it'. His E-G-O is showing..big time.
At least that's my take to calling known and routine protesters on Capital Hill "low-life scum" when they dare darken his committee room's isles.

Shortly after Kissinger, 91, took a seat at the witness table, several protesters from the anti-war group Code Pink approached from behind, waving signs and a pair of handcuffs, and chanting, “Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes.”
“You know, you’re going to have to shut up or I’m going to have you arrested,” McCain said from the podium, calling for U.S. Capitol Police to remove them. As officers escorted the protesters out of the hearing room, the six-term Arizona Republican, a decorated Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, growled, “Get out of here, you low-life scum.”

Code Pink protesters routinely interrupt congressional hearings and are ushered out by police. But Thursday’s incident was different, McCain said, because the protesters came within inches of Kissinger and waved what appeared to be metal handcuffs near his head.
