straight talk hits a curve.  he is trying to insert himself into a party that is not of his era now he's playing the out hate the other game and not very well.
Senator John McCain's joke comparing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the monkey that Iran claimed it sent into space earned him a scolding from a fellow Republican, Michigan Congressman Justin Amash.
"Maybe you should wisen up & not make racist jokes," Amash, who is of Palestinian and Syrian descent, tweeted at McCain. McCain had sent a tweet in response to the strange news that Ahmadinejad was offering himself up to be Iran's first astronaut, writing, "So Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space - wasn't he just there last week?" and linking to a story about the monkey.
McCain then told everyone on Twitter who had taken him to task for the tweet to "lighten up."
Amash, 31, is a libertarian Republican who was endorsed by Ron Paul and who has in a way molded himself in Paul's image — which includes calling out more senior Republicans.
 he would do his self a lot better if he just slowly fades to the background and stop embarrassing himself and making his party's already looney tune image clearer to the public, alright that last thing he can keep on doing that.
