Whew! Senator McCain is not happy.
Responding to Senator Vitter’s (R-Louisiana) remarks, Senator McCain objected to use of the term “amnesty” when describing the McCain/Kennedy bill.
He said “Call it http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3125, call it a banana if you want to, but it’s earned citizenship.”
Cranky McCain said we could call his bill a banana…ok, from now on I’ll call it the Banana Bill.
Referring again to the word “amnesty” McCain said “Frankly I’m growing a little weary of it, I’m growing a little weary of it.”
Yeah, and we’re growing weary of you and your amnesty bill…oops, I mean Banana Bill.
And then the distinguished Senator from Arizona went off on a tangent the likes of which we rarely see outside a http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3295:Again, addressing Vitter McCain started talking about the children of illegal aliens who are currently serving in Iraq. He said…brace yourselves, people…he said,
“I wonder if the Senator from Louisiana wants to call a soldier fighting in Iraq and tell him that ‘hey, while you’re fighting over there, we’re deporting your parents’.”
Gracious, that man has been spending waaaay too much time with the Kennedy Clan–hes no longer able to argue his bill so he’s introducing absurd, hypothetical situations.
And how tacky to use soldiers in Iraq…
