Awww the chameleon got booed today:

Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) 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.”

Perhaps it is just that McCain is senile. He has forgotten that organized labor has been under a continuous corporate loving, GOP attack since the Republicans have been in control. McCain speaking to a bunch of union guys is like Toby Keith opening up for a Metallica concert – you are going to get booed.
