The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Joe McCain!

Meet Joe McCain, the younger brother of the embattled Republican standard-bearer.

And he's every bit as hotheaded as ol' Mr. Monopoly himself is.

This was evident when Joe McCain called Arlington, Virginia, a "communist country."

On Tuesday, his hilarious lack of self-control surfaced again. Confronted with heavy traffic outside Washington, D.C., he made a 911 call to complain about the slowdown.

As you know, 911 is supposed to be used only for emergencies. Only. There have been reports from my area of folks calling 911 to get football scores, but these were probably just drunken fans.

Anyhow, Joe McCain called 911 to gripe about traffic being too slow. I guess it was keeping him from getting home to watch cartoons. He told the emergency dispatcher, "Well, it's not an emergency, but do you know why on one side at the damn drawbridge of 95, traffic is stopped for 15 minutes and yet traffic's coming the other way?"

When the operator asked the hapless clod why he was using 911 to eep about traffic, Joe McCain declared, "Fuck you!" He slammed the phone down in anger.

Dispatchers called him back to warn him that it was illegal to abuse 911. Regarding this call, Joe McCain later whined, "Somebody gave me this riot act about the violation of police."

Following his freeway tantrum, he was so disgraced that he withdrew from all campaign activities for his older bro.

Oh well. After reading the polls, it looks like it doesn't matter at this point.
