While President Barack Obama was in the (wet) Arizona desert, Arizona Senator John McCain was in the Egypt desert. He (and colleague/BFF Sen. Lindsey Graham) traveled there after a discussion with the President last week. McCain spoke with reporters, talking of his meetings and urging Egypt's military to permit the democratic process to resume.
Here is some video (from CNN) of his news conference. Reporters pressed him on his definition of a "coup". Eventually, according to Politico, McCain said, "“I’m not here to go through the dictionary. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck,” McCain said.
