Everyone needs to watch this.
This man has NO CLUE.
I actually felt sorry for him.....
Really, I felt sorry for him.
Sad sad doddering old fool.
Email this everyone... and give this a DIGG or what ever you want...but it has to bee seen by everyone
Wh-wh-wh-where's my hockey mom? I want my hockey mom. Where's my G** D*** Hockey Mom?
Old McFuddled.
All I see is someone who desperately wants to win so he can retreat into a power bubble, lock the door, and tell the American people to kiss his wrinkly old ass.
He really just might be worst than bush.
This guy is stupid AND angry.
I hope this hits the national news in a big way. Just read a damning article on Raw Story about Cindy McCain's drug use from a man who worked closely with her. Do you think the main stream media is going to pick this up OR is it going to be a "Enquirer" story.

The Jed Report should put that part of McCain on a video......even the DNC should or Obama.
I would like to see Chris Matthews show that clip in front of a couple GOP pundits.
I would like to see Ed Shultz play that clip at his townhall on Saturday in Alaska.
I would like to see that clip played by David Gregory on Race To The White House.

He's holding up the "next to Russia" meme! I CAN'T BELEIVE IT! He just keeps on repeating the same old talking points over and over and over.....
This is what reporting used to be....McCain would not pass the sniff test in the past. I worry for the US. If this idiot wins....we'll be doomed.
Doesn't this make their Governor or senators MUCH, MUCH more qualified than Palin?
Rob Caldwell did a fine job.
Love that....a reporter who ACTUALLY listened and wasn't thinking of his next question to ask.

There once was a man who could tell no lies
His eyes grew fixed on a noble prize
Off he set on an epic quest
While The Other faced a similar test
Yet Honest Man believed HE was best
He smeared and lied because he knew
deep inside his heart was true
He wanted to lead
For that right he’d beg and plead
“Yesterday isn’t today
But tomorrow could be,
It doesn’t matter what I say
Can’t you people see, it’s me!?”
It was apparent, though, he had changed
Morals, priorities rearranged
We’re not certain The Other will end ahead
What’s certain is, The Honest Man is dead.
Repeat after me:
IF THEY WILL LIE TO YOU NOW, THEY WILL LIE TO YOU IN OFFICE.
Repeat again.. ..and again. . . and again
It seems to me that if the practitioners of campaign journalism can’t figure out a way to make it so that lying is punished, rather than amplified and rewarded, by the press then they ought to pack up their bags and go do something else

"Ignore the pig behind the curtain."
That reporter may have asked one or two tough questions, but he let McCain (as usual) lie, spew lie after lie with his answers. He didn't call him out on it. Typical MSM. Typical.
I'm surprised you thought that was a good interview. So what that McCain looks like a dufus and acts like a dufus. He lied. And he got away with it for the 1,567,445,699th time so far this campaign season.,
Watch him dodge questions, fumble, and try to fabricate the fact that his darling VP is just another empty pantsuit, so much like emperor Bush, who turned out to be a dud president. She has foreign experience because she lives next to RUSSIA? Give us a break. This is the worst pick ever. What a disaster.
McCain is just an old, stammering, man, who is using this empty package, all tied up with bows and glitter, to fool the republicans into voting for him.
As for those republicans, and others who think this is the ideal ticket, going to bring them change....think again.
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice......eh...you can't fool me again.
These people should be laughingstocks, not serious contenders for the presidency.
I liked McCain in 2000. But his responses these days are frightening in their *badness*.

Seriously, I couldn't watch the whole thing.
If I remember my college Psych 101 correctly, excessive blinking is a sign of someone lying.
GREAT IDEA! It pulled me right in!
That said, it is unbelievable to hear McCain pimp Palin like she's the hallmark of his campaign, the centerpiece of his lifelong career in politics, a person whom he met for the first time less than a month ago.
He's in bad shape folks and he knows it. He should try selling juicers or abdominal exercisers, because his pitch is seriously out of whack.
Palin is a Hack, and dangerous. But I do feel better after watching McGrumpy pants here. The debates cannot come soon enough....my friends.....
MORE THAN ANYBODY ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
Man, what a lying, senile little twerp.
I think that's a fair statement. What an insult to those million.
Based on what? Nobody knows what she thinks on any of that stuff. The only opinion I've heard her express about national security or the war in Iraq is that she thinks we're in Iraq on a mission from god. Saying she is right is all fine and good. What makes her right? Maybe you should let her do some interviews.
1. McCain sinks his own campaign.
2. We get some reporters at the national level that will actually do their jobs, (at least for a year or two, and when they fail they should be replaced with some other enterprising reporter that will ask the questions.)
you can tell though, that he's really been working hard on those flash card sessions in the back of the bus.
The pipeline has not started yet. Palin has to make a deal with the oil companies that she has alienated.
That's just one of McCain's lies.
Poor old man, go home to one of your 7 homes and just relax. This campaign is taking too much out of you.
Great!
We've got McSENILE and Ms.Wacko seeking our Nation's highest offices.
OY!
Then that makes two Republican candidates for President and VP who can't answer questions. Unfortunately, only one of them is refusing to be interviewed or questioned by the media.
Are there really voters who would vote for candidates who refuse to be scrutinized in advance by the electorate?
Who put "candid" in the word "candidate"?
This post will be deleted since I am not gay or looking for a handout!
Good for you.
You are proof of the wondrous powers of Evolution.
You have single-handedly debunked creationism!
He's great, and I guess it takes a Mainer to ask McCain the REAL questions!

McCain Still Struggling With The Basics
By Steve Benen
Sep 11, 2008
(Political Animal) MCCAIN STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE BASICS.... There's been ample discussion of late about Sarah Palin being sequestered, away from the media, because the McCain campaign isn't confident in her ability to answer questions about, well, much of anything. But what about McCain's ability to answer questions?
AmericaBlog posted a clip of an interview McCain did, via satellite, with Rob Caldwell at WCSH in Portland, Maine. Caldwell noted, for example, that McCain insisted that national security and counter-terrorism is the number one issue facing the United States. McCain denied ever having said that. Caldwell moved on, asking about Sarah Palin's experience in national security. McCain responded by attacking Barack Obama.
"Well, you say you're sure she has the experience, but again, I'm just asking for an example," Caldwell said. "What experience does she have in the field of national security?" McCain responded:
"Energy. She knows more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America. She's a governor of a state where 20% of America's energy supply comes from there. And we all know that energy is a critical and vital national security issue. We've got to stop sending $700 billion of American money to countries that don't like us very much. She's very well versed on that issue."And, uh, she also happens to represent, be governor of a state that's right next to Russia. She understands Russia."
I'm afraid this is just embarrassingly incoherent. First, the notion that Palin's proximity to Russia counts as national security experience continues to be unusually stupid, even for McCain.

And here is another chuckle....people who keep doing the same thing, and expect different results, usually are not v. bright.
What makes you think that a man peddling the same failed policies, using the same corrupt people, who lied us into war, and using Rove,
the man who smeared McCain in 2000, to use the same lying tactics, will be change to this country? If you do, then you would be rolling with
laughter on the floor.
to support those who don't work, are lazy or less gifted?? ABSOLUTELY NOT! A greater number of jobs would be lost. The country would be bankrupted with Obama ... not to mention being at risk with national security. And rely on Biden?? Didn't you just hear Biden say, Hillary would have been a better VP pick? How comforting are you now?? Biden runs his mouths too much which would endanger the country. It's over. You lost.
adversaries and allies overseas. Come on, the Republican Ticket is a joke, and not matter how much you protest, only the stubborn right wing "Christian Conservatives" will stick with them through the end.
"The Tribune analyzed 119 grants in which Obama steered more than $6 million for Chicago projects between late 1999 and late 2002, the heart of his Statehouse career..." Sounds like to me, he worked pretty hard for his constituents while a State Rep. No one in Chicago seems to be complaining!
that Obama wasn't getting scrutinized for Ayers and Rezko etc... Now, that people realize how dangerously unprepared Obama is and lacks the proper judgement, McCain has risen. I could support alot of other candidates, just NOT Obama. Has America wanted a Black candidate than we should have tried harder to get Colin Powell. Powell was my neighbor in Virginia and revered by ALL! The media ONLY wants Obama because of the potential judicial seats. The owners of MSNBC and Cnn are owed by RADICAL Liberals. When McCain gets in there is so much to do he probably won't go after what the media thinks he will. Bigger problems exist than overturning Roe vs. Wade. This election will be a slam dunk. It's nowhere close to be 50-50. There are just NOT that many dumb Americans. When the election is over write me back, I have some land in the Everglades to sell you. You seem to believe all the garbage Democrats spew ...... the land sale
will be an easy profit for me. Wake up!! You have a person with a record of lifetime achievement and then you have someone who gave a speech at the DNC.
conservative judges that will overturn not just Roe v. Wade, but affirmative action and many other protections that women and minorities have. I care that Sara Palin puts her own political aspirations above her family, who so desperately needs her to be there for them. I care that McCain wants victory in a war that has no winners and could never have a victor. I care that he has supported George W. Bush, nearly 90% of the time on every major issue, and we've seen where that has gotten us. I care that he left his mutilated and disfigured wife, for a ultra wealthy socialite who had a problem abusing prescription drugs. I care that he thinks women of this country are so stupid that we would vote for any other women, besides Hillary, just to have a women in the White House. I care that he took a statement by Barrack Obama, that he has made many times, "lipstick on a pig", and tried to say that Obama said it about Palin. Obviously, even Karl Rove has a
conscious: He made it clear yesterday that McCain's ad against Obama was a lie. McCain admitted as much today! I care that he told a deplorable joke, 20 years ago, when he was old enough to know better, that descrided a women being raped by a gorilla and loving it. I care that he made a hateful remark regarding an 18 year old girls looks (Chelsey Clinton), when he was old enough to know better. I care that he no longer has honor, regardless of his military sacrifice, because he sold it to the devil for a chance to be President. I care that there were many more qualified candidates that he could of chosen for his VP, IE. Lieberman, Romney, Gwaltney, Snow. What a slap in the face to those who truly deserved the opportunity! When you know THE FACTS about the person you choose to support, then we'll have a real discussion. Until then, this conversation is over!
did you know gov Palin knows everything about everything that ever was and ever will be??????
However, I am angry that the repubs are trying to pass him off on us. We are trying to get rid on one of those incompetents.
And Palin, is a very lucky woman with ambition. No interviews or questions yet for 4 weeks. They had better agree to debates because that will show the public the "pig in the poke."
