While the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing about whether America should enter into a battle with Syria continues, former presidential candidate Senator John McCain was photographed in the hearing playing poker on his iPhone, according to the Washington Post. In recent days McCain has said that he conditionally supports intervening in Syria's civil war. Good to see he's taking that potential conflict so seriously.

Sigh. He is so blind to the problem that he makes a joke about his lack of attention during the hearing. I can almost here the snotty voice of a 12 year old when I read this.

Just sitting here quietly picturing to myself the apoplexy that would have erupted in certain political quarters had one Barack H. Obama been snapped doing this.
