Code Pink's Medea Benjamin had a question for Sen. John McCain after he called her and her group "low life scum" while protesting Henry Kissinger during a Senate committee hearing this week. My money is on option one. Who’s the “Low Life Scum:” Kissinger or CODEPINK?: A very angry Senator John McCain denounced CODEPINK activists as “low-life scum” for holding up signs reading “Arrest Kissinger for War Crimes” and dangling handcuffs next to Henry Kissinger’s head during a Senate hearing on January 29.
