“Sen. John McCain whipped out his new iPhone 4S during a hearing on the Postal Service on Wednesday,” Matt Sobocinski reports for Politico.
Sobocinski reports, “Discussing changing technology, McCain demonstrated how easy it is to dial his wife with the device. ‘Call Cindy,’ he said into the phone. ‘That’s all you have to do anymore. Now even I can figure that one out.'”
Sen. Joe Lieberman then teased McCain…

Ah, if only we’d made the right choice in 2008, we wouldn’t have wasted four years struggling through unnecessary malaise inflicted by an empty suit.
If McCain was the “right” choice, Im so glad I was wrong.
McCain wouldn’t have fanned class envy or had the highest black unemployment in 27 years. And, if he had presided over either case, the media would have harped on it unceasingly until the cries for impeachment from the mindless masses were deafening.
The only campaign promise McCain made was that he would persecute those that got the country into the financial mess. Fortunately, we elected someone who made a million promises (whatever you wanted to hear), and hired as advisors those who directly designed the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act that started the housing bust and the same people that wrote TARP to benefit themselves with billions through AIG, and that guide the policy of US dollar destruction.
McCain, a former American hero dishonored himself and his country by betraying his own potential and inflicting Sarah Palin on the world. He is a hypocritical jerk and doesn’t deserve an Apple product. The only thing he’s right on is his stance on torture- which his sellout and Palin’s mouth inflict on a regular basis. In short, they both make… me… SICK.
I liked McCain.. until he chose palin as his running mate.
#FAIL

Those who fall for the Sarah Palin stereotype are vapid, easily-manipulated pawns:
And what stereotype would that be?
this outta be good .
I stopped watching the debate halfway through, so I could be a better Sarah Palin fan.

Ah, it would not have been such a malaise if the ‘right’ choice had been made in 2001 instead of setting in motion ‘free-market’ economic shams and unwarranted and unjustified wars for oil costing too many lives of citizens, among other things.
Clinton-era democrat over-reaching caused the housing crisis which helped fuel the widespread economic malaise in which the US remains mired even today:

You’re simply wrong. Complex world- complex problems- demaning complex solutions- demanding stopping with the endless sloganeering. Get with it. Don’t be a dummy. I don’t care where you stand politically. Just don’t be a dummy.
Do you dispute the facts in the article?

It was during the Clinton administration that the banks were forced to start making loans to people who were bad risks. Because loans were easy to get, home prices were driven up to ridiculous levels. And when people have no investment in a home, easy to walk away. And the banks are getting bailed out on the whole mess because it was the government that forced them into making high risk loans. In the past they knew better than to make loans to people with zero down payment.
What a load of crap!
Was it government that forced banks to create complex derivatives?
To misrepresent the risk in the investment packages they were selling?
Im sure it was the government who told them to sell packages of risky investments marked AAA and then effectively bet against their own customer by taking out insurance against the customer defaulting.
Im sure the government made mistakes (it always does) but really pull your head out of your @ss for a moment and stop trying to shift blame from your worthless rich buddies that played this country like a casino.
We did make the right choice.
You didn’t.
Betcha, get that… a little Palin speak to aggravate morons who voted for that VACILLATING MESS “Occupying” the WH along with his sidesick Joe “Bite Me” Biden, I betcha 14 (to 17 million) out of work would disagree with your choice!
These last few years have been nothing but a bunch of bitter republicans playing a school yard tactic (probably about 4th grade level) of just trying to make things as difficult for the other party as possible. They try to distant the issues, and aren’t interested in compromise. Obama should have been more politically savvy, but he tried.
Don’t count him out. During the presidential campaign, President Obama did promise of himself, “we need a leader who can finally move beyond the divisive politics of Washington and bring Democrats, independents and Republicans together to get things done.”. He just needs another 4 years to create utopia.
There are no simple answers to complex questions. NO politician changes that fact. Don’t glibly assert that the man in the White House is just a suit. Don’t glibly assume that this old man gets it. 5% of the population controls 95% of the wealth. It’s been that way for more than 100 years. You are a pawn. You are not part of the 95%. Sorry.
When Senator McCain demonstrated the incredibly bad judgement of picking SP for his running mate, he eliminated himself from contention. In spite of what I think of some of Obama’s failings, I had no choice of who to vote for and think I did the right thing at the time.
It’s too bad that Obama received the most toxic Presidential hand-off in history and it’s too bad he blew it.
I had a good friend who was a died-in-the-wool Republican. From dogcatcher to President, he’d put the sign of every Republican candidate in his front lawn come election season.
Except 2008. The McCain – Palin sign stayed on his back porch.
He passed away earlier this year, and I never had a chance to ask him what that was about.
hmmmmmmmm. Is it me or is the video missing?
Keep in mind before anyone bashes McCain, he can’t use a computer cause he can’t type with his injuries.
Having an iPhone is a story for him.
Great point I just wish you would have gotten it in as the first post.
His war injuries. He was injured fighting for the USA. Not chain-smoking cigarettes in Chicago while reading Alinsky.
Don’t be a douche. Nobody sat in Chicago reading Alinsky. Maybe if you read Alinsky you would understand the world just a little better.
Great post!
He is an American hero, if you agree or dis agree with his politics. Give the man his dues!
Exactly.
While I admit that I call him McLame a lot of the time, I can’t deny his sacrifices he has made.
I knew i’d find the reason I mentioned his typing skills once I got home.

Regardless of your stance on him, watch the movie based off his book. (Or read the book, Faith of my Fathers)
the term “Hero” does tend to get thrown around on undeserving people a lot anymore, but not on McCain.
I do like him, I just disagree with half of his politics though. I understand where he’s coming from, I just don’t agree with him.
And for those that do not know, He and Lieberman are pretty close friends. Thats why he mentioned the hand written note.
Same goes for Lieberman as with McCain really, Lieberman’s politics I agree with some of it. I think he’s even more Hawkish on Defense than McCain is…
iPhone are Officially not cool any longer.
Just kidding.
But at least we can see why Apple products are the best out there.
If the angry old man can use one it must be insanely great.
This progressive a-hole should be banished to the garbage dump of failed attempts. He was a hero, now he’s a zero.
Boy do you have angry , maybe you should learn something about him! A true American hero, even if you do not agree with him!
The Yankee psyche is amazing. A man who kills a lot of people and gets caught and imprisoned is a hero. The true heroes are those who travel the world spreading democracy and education. The truest heroes are those who welcome immigrants to the US and let them learn first hand what it is like to create and maintain a democracy.
On the other hand, those who see the world as a danger to the US and not an aid, who see the solution to the world’s problems in military might, who won’t share the knowledge of the US universities to the world except to the very wealthy are to be viewed in history as ignorant beyond any measurable scale.
“Kills a lot of people”
And there’s your ignorance, viewed by history as beyond belief…
Aaaand you are anti-wealth. Did you learn that in school? Here in the USA we have the Yankee psyche – where ever you are, you clearly have your psyche, yanked.
“Siri: capitulate to my colleagues across the aisle…”
Siri for President!!!
I can’t see any video of McCain’s 4S on my iPhone 4S. Is it some of that Flash crap that will soon be defunct?
yes… will be glad when it’s dead.
Siri – bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!
So, if anybody can tell me why they voted for Obama?
Hopenchange. Plus, the news told me to.
McCain: Find me a decent GOP candidate.
Siri: I’m sorry, I can’t find any.
HAHAHA 😉
” Pardon me while I whip this out ”
Classic line
Republican = stupid by nature -> meaning this guys should be using a wintendo phone or something like that…
Well: better have an iPhone with Siri in the pocket, then a phone with a Sarah!
Gosh, you american almost had such dummies in the presidencies!
Am I the only one who finds it incredibly offensive that the MDN editor refuses to address Obama as President Obama, but gives every republican politician the proper respect of using their title?
Agreed. But you do realize that (1) MDN always finds any slim connection to Apple/technology to interject politics into what should be a non-political forum; and (2)MDN is an absolute dyed-in-the-wool believer in the Tea Party koolaid?
No one’s pointed out that he’s not necessarily demonstrating Siri. Voice Control’s been doing that since the 3GS.
Okay, you all convinced me. You changed my mind. Now I’ll vote for (fill in your favorite here).
Don’t you realize what a waste of time all your political blathering is?
