John McCain owned up to his game playing on Twitter later.

.

Given he has been calling for the Syrian rebels to be armed for more than
18 months, you would have thought that Senator John McCain might have been
interested in what was said during the three-hour hearing of the Senate
committee on foreign relations discussing the potential use of force
against the Assad regime.

.

But it seems the former US Republican presidential candidate, who is
perhaps the loudest voice in US politics in favour of intervention on
behalf of the Syrian rebels, had more pressing things on his mind.

.

McCain was caught by a Washington Post photographer playing poker on his
iPhone during the hearing. Perhaps the Republican pro-interventionist ,
who was critical of the president for asking Congress for approval to
strike Syria, was trying to make some clumsy metaphor about Obama's
political gamble or the high stakes involved. Or maybe not.

McCain playing poker on his iPhone

As the hearing continues, our ace photographer Melina Mara reports she
spotted Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) passing the time by playing poker on
his iPhone during the hearing.

We eagerly await the photographic proof, but generally trust Melinas sharp
eye.

Update 5:55 p.m.: And heres the proof:
