Grab audio sound bite number 19. McCain on the Senate floor yesterday during debate on a bill to advance Montenegro\u2019s inclusion in NATO. Do you know where Montenegro is? (interruption) Have you ever heard of Montenegro? (interruption) Well, it\u2019s the home of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nerowolfe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nero Wolfe<\/a>. You know who Nero Wolfe is? (interruption) Well, no. He&#8230; The author was Rex Stout. The character, as it was described, who weighs one-seventh of a ton. Nero Wolfe was the desk- and home-bound detective.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nerowolfe.org\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nero_Wolfe_Gordon800_fs-e1489698306221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" \/><\/a>He never left home. He had a sidekick named Archie Goodwin. It\u2019s some of the greatest writing ever. And&#8230; I mean, the author died in the seventies or early eighties, but Rex Stout\u2019s Nero Wolfe series is great. Anyway, Nero Wolfe was from Montenegro. It was part of Yugoslavia. (interruption) It\u2019s not landlocked, it\u2019s a tiny little place, and they want into NATO, and so there\u2019s an argument about whether or not they should be included in NATO, and McCain was speaking on the Senate floor during debate about this.<\/p>\n<p>MCCAIN: If there is objection &#8212; and I note the senator from Kentucky on the floor, I will say before I read this: If there is objection, you are achieving the objectives of Vladimir Putin. You are achieving the objectives of trying to dismember this small country that has already been a subject of [an] attempted coup. I have no idea why anyone would object to this, except that I will say if they object, they are now carrying out the desires and ambitions of Vladimir Putin &#8212; and, yes, I do not say that lightly.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: All right. So this is McCain and he\u2019s all day ticked off at Rand Paul because Rand Paul offered an objection and then left the floor which essentially shut down procedures on the floor for a time, and that made McCain mad. So McCain launched back at Rand Paul claiming that he is an associate of Putin, that he is furthering the desires of Putin &#8212; he\u2019s helping the Russians &#8212; by doing what he can to keep Montenegro out of NATO.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-225866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-031617-Rand-Paul-John-McCain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-031617-Rand-Paul-John-McCain.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/650-031617-Rand-Paul-John-McCain-300x143.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>Now, this is unhinged. I mean, this is like&#8230; This is&#8230; It\u2019s built off the idea that Putin and Trump are buddies, and so now Putin and Rand Paul are buddies. Rand Paul reacted to this today. He said, &#8220;McCain makes a really, really strong case for term limits. I think maybe he\u2019s past his prime. I think maybe he\u2019s gotten a little unhinged.&#8221; That\u2019s Rand Paul speaking of McCain. Nobody\u2019s happy anywhere, folks. Have you noticed this?
