Met John McCain once. I was a 22 year old senate intern waiting for an elevator. The doors opened, and he and another GOP senator were inside. I apologized and said I& #39;d want for the next one, but McCain told me to hop on. 1/3

"Who do you work for," he asked.

"Ted Kennedy, sir."

"He& #39;s a good man," McCain said. "Without him, we& #39;re lost." 2/3

The other Senator scoffed in disgust and got off the elevator at the next floor. While he was still in earshot, McCain raised his voice a little and said, "Don& #39;t mind him. He& #39;s an asshole."

And that& #39;s the time I met John McCain.
