Taking his role as a senior statesman
very seriously, Sen. John McCain (Still Bitter-AZ), seems to have taken a leading role in defending the letter that he and 46 fellow Republican senators sent to Iran,
telling them not to trust America. First McCain
suggested that sure, maybe the letter wasn't the greatest idea ever, but really, it was all President Obama's fault, so there. And now, with Republican senators being "caught off guard by the backlash to the letter," McCain has
trotted out a new excuse (although it's probably still mostly Obama's fault):
"It was kind of a very rapid process. Everybody was looking forward to getting out of town because of the snowstorm," McCain said. "I think we probably should have had more discussion about it, given the blowback that there is."
Excellent point, Mr. Senator. Everyone should calm down and more carefully plan for an impending snowstorm. For example—between filling the car with gas and stocking up on food supplies—maybe taking a few extra minutes to discuss whether or not it's a good idea to undermine the President of the United States and attempting to derail a diplomatic solution to nuclear concerns. Thank God spring is just around the corner!
