U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) today released the following oddly worded statement on being sanctioned by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I guess this means my spring break in Siberia is off, my Gazprom stock is lost, and my secret bank account in Moscow is frozen. Nonetheless, I will never cease my efforts on behalf of the freedom, independence, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea.”

We called his Phoenix office today who insisted the Senator’s statement was not a joke?
