We have the tape of a 911 call made by John McCain's brother earlier this week.
He called the police emergency ...
He ain't heavy, he's McCain's brother

HE AIN'T HEAVY, HE'S MCCAIN'S BROTHER.... It's not unprecedented for a presidential hopeful to have an embarrassing brother. Jimmy Carter had Billy. Bill Clinton had Roger. George Bush had, well, actually he was Jeb's embarrassing brother. And right about now, I suspect John McCain wishes he were an only child. This report, from the ABC affiliate in D.C., features Joe McCain's call to 911 to complain about traffic in Northern Virginia. Seriously. Joe McCain called 911 on his cell phone, and when asked what the emergency was, said, "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 ...

I Can't Wait til America Meets Joe McCain. . .Wait, I Take That Back
The Washington Note —
It just gets more and more weird. I wonder if Senator McCain just threw his shoe at the window exclaiming "is there anything else that can go wrong?!"

McCain’s brother drops out of campaign, apologizes for 911 call.
Think Progress —
Joe McCain, the brother of John McCain, “said Friday he’ll withdraw from campaign activities after calling 911 to complain about traffic.” McCain called 911 in Alexandria, VA, and “used an expletive to the operator and hung up.” Listen to the call:
“I feel terrible about having hurt the campaign over this incident,” he said. “I won’t be doing any more campaigning because of that.”

The Agonist - thoughtful, global, timely —
Just watch the video. It's so outrageous you have to laugh at John McCain's bad luck at this point. From Joe the Plumber to Joe McCain absolutely nothing is going right.
When GOP Staffers Attack.....
Daily Kos —

Exhibit A --- Staffers or friends of Congressman Wolf assault two Feder staffers with a metal cane (hat tip Raising Kane) while they were trying to ask him a few questions: Exhibit B ---The Uptake visited a McCain/Palin campaign office in Florida and discovered that McCain's Florida "volunteers" are actually paid workers. A central Florida campaign staffer freaks out at the ...

Politics on HuffingtonPost.com —
In a year when everyone was looking for a bailout, politicians did more for political comedy than any other industry. We had governors gone rogue, reverends gone wild, shoe-throwers, imaginary snipers and, of course, everyone's favorite mavericky, Prada-wearing hockey mom. As a salute to those who made this the funniest year since, well, last year, here's a look back at 2008's most memorable feats and foibles, in words and glorious video:
