John McCain’s brother, Joe McCain had a problem with the traffic on the bridge a couple of days ago:
We have the tape of a 911 call made by John McCain’s brother earlier this week. He called the police emergency line because he was angry he was stuck in traffic.
The 911 call came into the City of Alexandria on Oct. 21st That’s creating some buzz because it appears to come from Joe McCain, John McCain’s brother.
Operator: 911 state your emergency
Caller: It’s not an emergency but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic’s coming the other way?
Operator: Sir, are you calling 911 to complain about traffic? (pause)
Caller: “(Expletive) you.” (caller hangs up)
How do they know it was Joe?
The complaint call about traffic on the Wilson Bridge, outrageous enough that the 911 operator called back. The voicemail on the other end, appears to belong to Joe McCain, brother of presidential candidate, John McCain.
“Hi this is Joe McCain I can’t take this message now because I’m involved in a very (inaudible) important political project… I hope on Nov. 4th we have elected John.”
Then he called 911 again to complain.
Listen to the tape here.
What do you expect, every wingnut thinks they are the center of the universe.
Barack (“…let us be our brother’s keeper…” [8/13/08 speech]) also has a brother …George Hussein Onyango Obama. ( http://www.suntimes.com/news/1119352,CST-NWS-brother21.article )
Even though the presidential candidate is a millionaire, brother George (income less than $12 @ year probably doesn’t have a cell phone. He probably doesn’t know what voicemail is, doesn’t know what a multiple-lane drawbridge on an interstate freeway is, may not have ever been stuck in traffic or even been in a car, and certainly has never called 911.
But hey – on the bright side, he’s never had his taped call played all over the internet (if he knows what that is).
Barack Obama – You go, bro!
Why is it that Fox news and all the other right-wing pundits (and all those who follow the pundits) go out of their way to say Obama and his brother’s middle name, “Hussein”, at every opportunity they can yet I never hear then say John McCain’s middle name? In fact, Fox now abbreviates Barack Hussein Obama as BHO. That’s almost as disrespectful as the way you just used the word “bro?” Unless you’re black and/or this is 1975, I’d say that’s disrespectful. By the way, George Obama: not running for president. Neither is Joe McCain. Who cares.
Yeah Tony, I see your point there…Initials are very disrespectful, and I imagine that JFK, FDR, & LBJ were just as outraged!
And middle names! Wow…who would ever know Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s middle name if I wasn’t mentioning it right now? Or John Quincy Adams or George Herbert Walker Bush or Wm. Henry Harrison?
BTW – I’m white, and my sister (also white) & I have referred to each other as ‘li’l sis’ & ‘ big bro’ all our lives – w a y before the 70’s. (FYI Tony – they are shortened versions of ‘sister’ & ‘brother’.) I was referring to the relationship between BHO & his brother.
Why do you people see racism around every corner? Even where there is none?
…and John Fitzgerald Kennedy was also proud of his middle name – not embarrassed or ashamed.
(Oops, looks like I revealed another one.)
DJ are you just that dense?
Fox is doing this on purpose to be disrespectful.
So you and your wife call each other bro and sis… does that mean it a news organization should refer to a candidate this way?
Is Sidney afraid of his middle name? Do you see it everywhere? Is Fox playing it over and over? Do they refer to him as JSM(cool initials i think.)
Fox hates Obama. Its a extremely conservative news organization. If you don’t see that, you are ridiculously blinded. Not saying Fox is doing any of this out of racism, but sure they are doing it to disrespect him for sure.
BlueHate – Don’t confuse what my family does with what your family does…My sister and I use the terms sis & bro.
Using a middle name as hate…have you seen what goes on on CNN’s shows, or in the NYT? More than just calling someone by their legal name…
Let the “we are all racist” comments begin
Hussein is an unlucky middle name if you happen to be running for president in 2008 in America. So what? Obviously he doesn’t use it any more than I use my middle name, (which barely any of even my closest friends know). It’s only used by people who want to plant the seed of hate in someone else’s mind. We get it, so stop acting like you don’t understand what the fuss is. It’s the equivalent of a stoning. It’s barbaric, and if we as a society are fortunate, it won’t result in the murder of another great American. What has happened to America?
As if Joe McCain would say on his message “I’m Joe McCain, I’m involved in a political campaign”. How stupid!
It’s more likely that it’s some guys “funny” message which is appropriate for this time of year.
Have they done any actual investigating to see if indeed this phone # belongs to “Joe McCain, presidential candidate John McCain’s brother”?
