In McCain's defense, he may have been lured away with an Oreo and a glass of warm milk. Today he seems more like the Yankee Bean Guy on Seinfeld than the war hero that he is.
Also in his defense, only 3 Republicans(!) of the 8 on that committee which received the intelligence briefing actually attended.
Yeah the right wingers have their own intelligence service. Why need the CIA when you have Fox News?
