How are they going to get anything done during the closed session if it starts at 1pm and they have a vote at 1:45pm?

I feel like McCain's time was half taken up by him just slowly rambling and talking 10 words per minute, half of which he got confused when talking to president Comey.

AbsolutelySane posted:He must have been a terrible officer. He got the 'I participated' Bronze Star and nothing else in five years of service. Either that or whoever curates his wiki page is leaving a bunch of poo poo out. He's got a pretty bog standard junior captain's career. Like you say, getting a BSM without a "V" device for a company-grade officer is standard. I'm sure he's got stuff like an ARCOM or AAM in addition to the other stuff everyone gets. The quote that confirms your terrible officer assessment is the other stuff in the Iraq section, namely writing an open letter to the NYT without telling anyone in your chain of command. When he finally met the battalion commander, he was simply told "Well, here’s a piece of advice: You’re new here. No one’s trying to infringe on your right to send a letter or whatnot. But next time, give your chain of command a heads-up." "The Times did not publish the letter, but it was published on Power Line, a conservative blog which had been copied on the email." I'm sure he copied the Power Line blog onto the email for reasons other than ego. Someone mentioned Ranger School and that's also standard for infantry officers. There's a big difference between passing Ranger School and serving in the regiment.

She never really lived in the dark time of altavista, webcrawler and netscape navigator.

McCain had to get in there and be "very troubled" about something on the big stage today. He's never met a camera he didn't love.
