Senator John Macain plays online poker
Former Republican Presidential candidate John McCain was caught playing online poker on his smartphone while taking part in a senate hearing on Syria.
The one time candidate for the White House back in 2008 tried to brush off the picture taken by Washington Post photographer Melina Mara by joking he had sat there for 3 hours listening and even lost at poker.
The game the Senator was playing has been identified as VIP Poker which is a social gaming app connecting thousands of players from around the World by new start-up company TinyC. A great advert for them of course and some Twitters users wondered if the Senator has any stocks in the company or just likes playing poker.
Much of Twitter attacked the Senator as the Senate hearing discussed the possibility of air attacks on the Middle East nation he was more interested in getting a royal flush that considering how to stop Syria using chemical weapons again.
One more final question that came up on Twitter was would the Senator be supporting any new bill in favour of federal online poker? The Senator did not reply to that question.
