RUSH: John McCain. Grab audio sound bite number 19. McCain on the Senate floor yesterday during debate on a bill to advance Montenegro’s inclusion in NATO. Do you know where Montenegro is? (interruption) Have you ever heard of Montenegro? (interruption) Well, it’s the home of Nero Wolfe. You know who Nero Wolfe is? (interruption) Well, no. He… 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.
MCCAIN: If there is objection — 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 — and, yes, I do not say that lightly.
RUSH: All right. So this is McCain and he’s 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 — he’s helping the Russians — by doing what he can to keep Montenegro out of NATO.
