The The Exotic Time Machine (1998)American people are easily distracted. But surely -- surely!-- our esteemed lawmakers in Congress wouldn't get distracted by a frivolous entertainment spectacle the night before a hearing in which the very future of America could be at stake.
If only.
Now let's all incredulously sad-cry together after John McCain's bizarre questioning of James Comey on Thursday in Washington, D.C. -- and his even morebizarre attempt to explain the episode.
SEE ALSO: The Oakland A's just ended Wendy's on Twitter while defending the Warriors' honorMcCain found himself trending on Twitter for all the wrong reasons after Comey's testimony. Comey, of course, was testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee about President Donald Trump's conduct and potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
But McCain stole the show in the worst sense when it was his turn to question Comey. The 80-year-old senator from Arizona appeared confused during a meandering and unfocused series of questions that appeared to leave Comey as perplexed as it left TV viewers.
Here's the full awkward video if you care to check it out.
We don't yet know where Comey's testimony will lead, but it was by any measure an EXTREMELY big deal. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper recently said the Trump-Russia probe makes Watergate look like small fries.
So, yes: BIG DEAL. VERY BIG DEAL. Moreover, Comey's testimony wasn't any surprise and McCain clearly knew he'd need to be ready for the session's start time at 10 a.m. ET.
Which led many to wonder why McCain seemed so whacked-out while questioning Comey. Could it be age catching up? Could he have some motivation to lead the Trump-Russia probe astray?
McCain addressed his strange behavior in a press release Thursday afternoon, in which he said he failed to bring his A-game on a day of momentous importance for the American public because ...
... wait for it ...
... drum-roll please ...
... he stayed up too late the night before watching baseball.

Take a bow, America. Just when we think you've run out of material, you manage to astound and amaze once again.
If you're wondering: The Diamondbacks game in question finished around 10:30 p.m. Arizona time, so about 1:30 a.m. in D.C.
The Diamondbacks replied to McCain's statement, because of course they did.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ indeed.
Maybe we should make ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the new American motto. Something like ...
"America: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ !"
Or "America: Feel the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
Or "America: Land of the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, home of the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯."
Or maybe just "The United ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ of America."
Hey, I'm just spitballing here. Now if you'll excuse me, there's a baseball game I need to go watch.
