At least one elderly presidential candidate is getting cranky pretty early in the game.

FOX News is reporting that “anger burst forth memorably and loudly” yesterday when Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) accused Sen. John McCain of being “too busy running for president” to help run the Senate. McCain reportedly responded by using “the f-word toward Cornyn,” but it wasn’t clear “if the f-word was a verb or a gerund.”

(It’s also unclear at this point whether the f-word is just another Republican term of endearment. You know, like shooting your hunting partner in the face.)

The exact statement, a WaPo blogger reports: “Fuck you! I know more about this than anyone else in the room!”

Oh boy, we can’t wait to see what words ole Grandpa McCain will be shouting by the time this thing is over!
