Senator John McCain received a less than hearty welcome from a union crowd in Washington DC after touting his stance on immigration and the Iraq war:

Sen. John McCain threatened on Tuesday to cut short a speech to union leaders who booed his immigration views and later challenged his statements on organized labor and the Iraq war.

“If you like, I will leave,” McCain told the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction Trades Department, pivoting briefly from the lectern. He returned to the microphone after the crowd quieted.

“OK, then please give me the courtesy I would give you.”

I this how he will hold up on the campaign trail in 2008? Taking your ball and going home is not very presidential. The Eric Cartman style of debate is unbecoming of a Senator.

This about sums it up:

“I was impressed with his comedy routine and ability to tap dance without music. But I was impressed with nothing else about him,” said John Wasniewski of Milwaukee. “He’s supposed to be Mr. Straight Talk?”
