With his campaign floundering, John McCain isn't getting any help from his little brother Joe.

TMZ is reporting that Joe McCain apparently called 911 to get a traffic update on Tuesday. We kid you not. When the 911 operator told Joe that calling 911 for a traffic update was a misuse of emergency services, Joe screamed, "Fuck you!" and hung up.

The operator promptly called hiim back and got his voicemail, which hilariously included a "vote for John McCain" endorsement. We're betting she's probably voting for Obama now.

Joe apparently called into a radio station to apologize. TMZ has the audio. Will McCain pull an ace out of his sleeve and win the election? Bet on the election in the Bodog Sportsbook today.
