That’s one way to flush out a joker.
While President Obama’s top aides were gambling the Senate Foreign Relations Committee would back a military strike on Syria, Sen. John McCain was playing poker on his iPhone.
The Arizona Republican, who has pushed hard for the United States to take military action, appeared more interested in making straights than listening to Secretary of State Kerry make the case for punishing Syrian despot Bashar Assad.
“This is not the time for armchair isolationism,” an impassioned Kerry told the committee Tuesday. “This is not the time to be spectators to a slaughter . . . We have spoken up against unspeakable horror. Now we must stand up and act.”
But Kerry’s strong words may have been lost on McCain, who was so engrossed in his game he failed to notice the Washington Post photographer who caught him in the act.
That may also explain why McCain, a Vietnam War hero and one of the most respected members of the committee, barely questioned Kerry when it was his turn to grill the committee’s main witness. Perhaps he was more focused on five-card stud than Syria’s stash of Scud missiles.
McCain, when alerted that his poker playing had gone viral, tried to joke it off.
