You won't believe this but Senator McCain says he thinks he will commit suicide if the Democrats win the Senate in this upcoming election.
McCain, on a visit to Iowa to campaign for Republican congressional candidates, was asked his reaction to a potential Democratic takeover of the Senate in the November 7 elections.
"I think I'd just commit suicide," McCain told reporters, to accompanying laughter from Republicans standing with him. "I don't want to face that eventuality because I don't think it's going to happen."
Promises, promises .. do you think McCain is serious? Regardless of whether he is serious or not, why isn't he locked up in a rubber room in the state psychiatric hospital, as required by law when someone makes a threat on his or her life? Or is he somehow more special than the rest of us?

Yep. This has been all over my various news feeds. Read several different versions.
Now when you say special......
Their confidence is unnerving. Either they are delusional, or they know something we don't. Diebold comes to mind.
It's not that he doesn't qualify for the rubber room; it's just that nobody - not even psychiatrists - cares if a politician tops himself, particularly not a Republican.
I think we'd all be better off if McCain offed himself. After all, he was instrumental in removing our 800 year old right to a writ of habeas corpus, so yeah, wouldn't lose any sleep if the whore died.
I suspect he's just recognizing that if the Dems do regain control, McCain's political influence is toast -- he's blown so many chances to stand up against the GOP's abuses that his "independent" schtick will be worthless.
Aren't those laws state specific?
