Sen. John McCain had his turn to question Secretary of State John Kerry at this afternoon’s Senate hearing. And as National Review’s Jim Geraghty noted, he did one hell of a job:
McCain: "We know who the bad guys are, right?" Kerry: "For the most part."
— Jim Geraghty (@jimgeraghty) September 3, 2013
Well, that’s encouraging.
Oh, dear God. *opens 55-gallon drum of whiskey* RT @jimgeraghty: McCain: "We know who the bad guys are, right?" Kerry: "For the most part."

What difference does it make?! RT @jimgeraghty: McCain: "We know who the bad guys are, right?" Kerry: "For the most part."

Ugh.

That’s certainly one way to put it. In fact, several viewers suspected that Kerry wasn’t exactly blindsided by McCain’s line of questioning:
@DanaPerino McCain is walking Kerry through the Hearing
— Kevin Haig (@ski01kev) September 3, 2013
McCain like a lawyer leading a friendly witness in Kerry
— Michael Tackett (@tackettdc) September 3, 2013
McCain in unbelieveable ass kissing 'questioning' of John Kerry. We are doomed. #gop

@LilMissRightie @jimgeraghty This exchange between Kerry&McCain is so staged it's embarrassing.

Is it me or did the exchange between Kerry and McCain seem pre-planned by looking at body language and lack of umms? #LNYHBT @seanhannity
— Tommy Storm (@TommyStorm23) September 3, 2013
Maybe there weren’t many “umms,” but there were plenty of “Johns”:
Questioning Secretary Kerry, Senator McCain repeatedly calls him John.

"Thank you, John"; says John McCain. "Thank you, John", says John Kerry. So many Johns in one tweet.

If Kerry and McCain insist on referring to each other as 'John' throughout this, I'm going to have to get some wine…
— Mila Johns (@milaficent) September 3, 2013
Wine? How about a barf bucket?
John (Kerry) and John (McCain) share some laughs at the Senate hearing on #Syria …just like old frat buddies
— Eric Salomon (@ericssalomon) September 3, 2013
Just have a look at the happy couple:

Precious.

Really don't care for this John-John Yuckfest. McCain & Kerry acting like frat bros when the subject matter is deadly serious #edshow
— Kelley Jean (@Kelebration) September 3, 2013
I don’t like how chummy McCain is with Kerry. Is this a hearing about whether America will be engaged in war or is this a Senate reunion?
— Tony Katz (@tonykatz) September 3, 2013
Well, Kerry and McCain and simply having a ball (!) discussing this. It's all so fun. So much laughter.
— A.J. Delgado (@AJDelgado13) September 3, 2013
McCain and Kerr-y sittin’ in a tree …

Jesus John McCain and John Kerry are like fucking peas in a pod on this one huh?

This just in…McCain asks Kerry to SADIE HAWKINS….gonna be a mind scrambler
— scottie ward (@Thescottieward) September 3, 2013
The sexual tension between #McCain and #Kerry can be felt through my TV.

Great. Now McCain and Kerry are playing footsie at the Senate Committee Hearing

"Hold me, John." "You hold me, John." "In your arms, I feel like the world is safer, John." "You had me at 'Theresa'"

Reunited and it feels so gooooooood!

Update:
It appears that McCain was, in fact, playing poker during the hearing:

Well, at least he wasn’t writing Kerry a love note.
