John McCain caught playing poker on his iPhone during hearing on Syria.

Senator John McCain plays poker on his IPhone during a U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations hearing where Secretary of State JohnKerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey testify concerning the use of force in Syria, on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, Tuesday, September 3, 2013. 

Busted!

McCain has received some criticism for this, but rather than deny it McCain copped to it with a touch of good humor.

Scandal! Caught playing iPhone game at 3+ hour Senate hearing - worst of all I lost!

You know at his age I guess we should all be pleased that he managed to stay awake during the over three hour hearing. You know, something he was unable to manage during the State of the Union.

And it could certainly have been worse. I mean what if they had taken the picture of what McCain was looking at BEFORE he started playing poker?

Yep, much worse.

P.S. Probably unrelated but McCain  has just decided to withhold his support for the revised plan coming out of the Senate.
