These are the same people who thought Clinton was “strong” and “assertive” when he waived his finger on the face of an interviewer…
This is the year journalism became a joke.
You go MAN!!!!
I don’t think this is the way a potential President should act. Period. And anyone who uses the term, as above, “smug-ass liberal pukes”, that reveals the kind of people that are voting for John McCain. It speaks for itself.
Mr. McCain is absolutely right.
Yes it is time to REBUKE and turn away the liberal whimps who want to give America away!
Well done Mr. McCain, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FOR AMERICA and TRUE AMERICANS!
This is not the way to win an election. Don’t use sarcasm like this; be witty, instead. This is so disheartening, watching McCain shoot himself in the foot because of his annoyance at the extreme bias of the media. I know it is hard not to get angry about it— after all, any time they talk to him, they are trying to frame him or shoot him down, or at least trip him up— but he has to rise above it. After all, if he is elected, he is going to badgered even more harshly for his whole presidency.

Go John Go!
Your reporter was the one that was irritable and out of line. John answered correctly and directly. Did you notice he did not say ah, um, re, uh, um, duh like NObama does when asked an unscriped question? Nor did John call her “sweety” like NObama did.
What about when Obama said, “Why can’t I just eat my waffle.†Has McCain ever said anything as dismissive as that? No. I don’t see the sarcasm here. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone who’s trying to trash you. Why hasn’t anyone in the media asked Obama about his experience. Anyone? He has less than Palin!
About time!!! It’s good to see McCain fight back against these liberal distortions. He needs to show more of “reporters” and “interviewers” as nothing more than Obama propaganda tools. Again… Glad to see the “fire” in his belly.
Way to stand up to the media John. I’m tired of seeing them ask the same tired questions they should be asking of Obama since he’s the head of the Dem ticket not the VP like Palin.
I fail to see sarcasm or irritabilty in his remarks. The woman, after hearing that McCain did not accept her opinion about a lack of experience, continued to insist she was right and he was wrong. I think McCain showed remarkable restraint. If it were me, I would have showed you irritable and sarcastic such that you would never mistake it again.
Susanne:
Thank you for the recognition.
You obviously haven’t watched one Democrat candidate for president in your entire life.
If you had you wouldn’t have thought that Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, were acting in the way a potential President should act either.
Yes …”smug-ass liberal pukes.” Say it with me Susanne, …smug-ass liberal pukes!
You can bet your sweet checks, Sweety, that a lot of people are saying the same thing …. even McCain himself.
I didn’t think McCain was “irritable” or “sarcastic.”
I think he was annoyed, and rightfully so.
##########~~~I see dumb people~~~~
Yep! she is qualify.. like my 12 yr old , the only difference my 12 yr old can actually name a piece of newspaper or magazine they read.
This is like a bad twilite zone episode , she went to 6 different school to get a simple degree and have zero clue on what she is talking about , but mumbles the talking points thats feed to her thats NOT relative to the question.
The rest of the world is having one big laugh, Why cant we for once have brilliant people run for office no wonder we in this mess.
I agree with Janice, the press is committing journalistic fraud in this election.
Palin has more real and executive experience than Obama. If anyone is woried about experience than you should be freaked out about Obama.
Obama’s experience as an attorney for ACORN suing Citibank for not giving enough sub-prime loans to minorities. Or Obama’s experience appointed to the CAC board by Bill Ayres and squandering $150M for Chicago Public School reform.
Change you can believe in: Chicago Public Schools graduating less than 50% of the students.
Hey OBOTS when you are done singing your song.
Name one thing Obama has successfully changed? America use to be a country where accomplishement mattered. WTF
correction:
checks = cheeks … before some smug-ass liberal puke bounces on my typo.
Yes, Sir!
The reporter was soooo unbeleavably irritating! Mr. McCain is right! God bless Mr. McCain!
What “irritability and sarcasm”? This is just the paper projecting what they think should have happened already – McCain losing his temper. It has not happened, but, like florida weathermen waiting to announce a hurricane, they can’t wait for it to happen. If it doesn’t, they’ll make it up.
I am a conservative, so I definately was not voting for McCain because he is a liberal, and has stabbed me in the back repeatedly. I am voting for Palin, the future of the conservative party.

Do you notice that the stronger McCain rebukes the liberal press, the better he looks?
Lookin’ Good John, keep it up!
Sarah and John….the lib Terminators!
Irritable and sarcastic: what Liberals call speaking the truth, as when a true leader does not meekly accept their bias and crap! Bravo, McCain!

Obama’s experience as an attorney for ACORN suing Citibank for not giving enough sub-prime loans to minorities
————————————————–
Yes i luv how the racist comes out , BLAME the MINORITIES.
yep a few bad loans to minority is the reason the WHOLE OF WALL STREET CAME CRASHING DOWN .
you people make me sick .these CLOWNS WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE a few MINORITIES ARE THE REASON FOR billions of dollar crash, in that case every BLACK PERSON should OWN a house already with no reason for ghettos.
you need to sit your azz down you trying to do too much.
Suzanne.
Hey Sweetie, don’t get upset, you can still vote for whoever you want.
And yet they still don’t ask Obama every second of every hour of every day if he is qualified. He has less than Palin by the way. Clinton had more experience and the “majority” of democrats chose Obama, those people have lost their mind.
THAT’s WHAT I’M talkin’ bout. Give it back to ‘em.
jeez – there an ember burning now let’s stat the fire!
Interesting. I have been reading some of the comments here, and I have to say that I greatly disagree with a lot of these responses. I am a McCain supporter, but I don’t like the way he answered the reporter.
Look, don’t tell me that you’re shocked people believe that Palin doesn’t have much experience; she doesn’t. You can defend the things she has done, or say that it means she isn’t mixed in with the “bad crowd” of politicians; but don’t feed me a load of crap. He had to even repeat the same accomplishments a couple times to make the list sound long. Lame.
Nation of Whiners you are a typical liberal confusing accomplishment and education. Bill Gates didn’t graduate from college, so is Microsoft a fraud? What about Michael Dell?
Whiner boy you are typical example of the problem of this country, you libs think it is all about your perceived intelligence and formal education.
Focus on Palin’s accomplishments rooting out corruption in both parties and breaking the oil companies back room deals and thus saving the tax payers of Alaska. That is change
Obama has played the corruption game in Chicago to personally benefit himself. How is that change?
The Associated Press writer, Mr. Glove, should look up the definition of “sarcastic.” “Sarcastic” is when one states the opposite, in a mocking tone, what one believes to be the truth. McCain is speaking straight up here, not sarcastically, and yes, he was a bit irritable, and justifiably so. The premise of the AP article is a lie, proven by its own content.
I loved this, it is the best I have ever seen Mccain, I was going to hold my nose and vote for him but if this keeps up I will be able to let the nose go free!
FINALLY — but tired of LMSM twisting it as if he/they are “irritable”. NO LMSM — you’re SNARLY! Get over it — can’t handle the heated come backs, get out of journalism… where most of you don’t belong anyway! lol
JOE BIDEN DOES NOT HAVE 35 YEARS EXPERIENCE …
He has ONE years experience 35 TIMES!
Experience is not making the same mistakes twice … and Biden owns the gaffe machine … he never learns … get it?
Governor Palin has held DIFFERENT jobs without major mistakes and THAT’S twelve years EXPERIENCE …
Want more … click on my web site.
jimcrow ghost – “…a few minorities are the reason”
It was/is tens of thousands, if not millions of bad loans. Loans that folks could never pay pack and also predatory lending.
It is partly revealed here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usvG-s_Ssb0
~ money for nothing and your house for free… not anymore!
John tells it like it is — and takes no gaff from these lib newspaper editors.
Way to go John.
That’s why he and Sarah get my respect and trust — and my VOTE!
OK Jimcrow – tell me why the SPMBS are trading at .15 PAR? So stating fact is racist? Typical Obama rhetoric – Fact is if the sub-prime borrowers could pay their bills we would have no problem. This is from Fox News today also a racist organization:
MILWAUKEE — Oprah Winfrey’s mother says she shouldn’t have to pay a nearly $156,000 debt to a high-end fashion store because store officials shouldn’t have extended credit to her.
Valentina Inc. alleges that Vernita Lee of Milwaukee racked up $155,547 in purchases and interest as of July 1. The company sued, saying Lee fell behind in minimum monthly payments of $2,000.
Lee filed a counterclaim Friday contending that Valentina took advantage of her “lack of knowledge, ability, and-or capacity” when creating her credit account.
Court papers say Lee resolved a 2002 case with the company over a $175,000 bill. The resolution prohibited Valentina from extending further credit to her.
A message left for Valentina co-owner Tony Chirchirillo was not returned Tuesday.
WTF- Oprah’s mom shouldn’t pay because she is stupid? Welcome to Obama Nation – White greed runs a world in need – Barack Obama
I dont get why this is such a big deal. He seems strong and coherent. I dont think he’s irritable at all.
Good for John McCain…! and i completely disagree with your headline as McCain being “irritable and sarcastic”. in fact, i think he held back… a LOT MORE than a lot of people would. The reporter/editor exposes the fool that she is. She represents the SAD destruction of journalism! McCain needs to show more of this!
That’s the John McCain I’ve been waiting for. Good job!

———————————————–
Ah yes you mean CHANGE like the BRIDGE TO NOWHERE DEAL she was all for, then GOT HEAT and pull out ,And do we need to get into trooper gate; Trying to use your power to get people fired that you DONT LIKE. or change she is in the METH capitol…. do i need to go on… i do have things to do.
You comparing her to Bill Gates ..ROFL , for that he should PING his software on your system and render its death.
Why is this news?! He gave an interview, just like candidates do multiple times each day during a campaign. Nothing new was discovered here.
If this is someone’s idea of sarcasim, then I am the world’s most sarcastic person. There was nothing in that interview that made me even raise an eyebrow!
I think it was the reporter who was sarcastic, I just am so very TIRED of the media, they cannot be fair, they cannot be impartial.
I have yet to hear anyone in the media quesiton Obama’s CLEAR LACK OF EXPERIENCE, they give the man credit for wiping his own butt and then glorify it, it is unbelievable!
AP….
Shame on the AP for the discription
of Mc Cain as Sarcstic.
Shame on you AP.
I can say to the AP. I know
sarcastic. And Mc Cain, what
not sarcastic.
I displays to all the electorate.
How the AP is a new organization
that has clearly taken a political
side.
And to me that is not journalism.

He wasnt bad at all, and to always try to make him and Sarah look bad is what I call sickening. He did a good job. Well down John McCain
Mc Cain’s comments: Straight forward, clear and respectful–not rude…while obviously differing with the reporter pressing the issue.
The reporter & media: Taking a differing statement/opinion and defining it as “sarcastic and angry”. Interesting…
My thoughts: the media doesn’t give an inch to McCain, while they give many others a mile. The title of the article sounds like “tattling”–similar to the bully who pouts when another kid stops playing in the sand box with him. Who wants to play with someone who keeps throwing sand in the face?
Me thinks he doth protest TOO much…why is he worried then? WHy the jaw clenching? He should have picked his buddy Joe, at least then we could vote w certainty. Me? I don’t know- she’s scarey. ANd I am not the only one thinking that
The worthless liberal media has to focus on trying to put McCain into the “crazy old man box” so they don’t have to report on things like this.

Just another idiot whining woman reporter that that’s out of line, out of touch and would just as soon have Obamas baby. this takes brown nosing to a new level. this kind of crap media interviews are sickening. since when does a Governor of one of the largest states in America have zero experience……….I would like to ask a question. off the top of your head …who is the Governor of Arkansas right now? oh you don’t know . then he or she must not be qualified to be in office. remember nobody had ever heard of Bama until he started his campaign which by the way was when he started his career in politics{ 2 years ago }. he’s nothing more than a smelly crooked Chicago Daley wanna be. that’s who I want in office ?. I don’t think so. change is his motto??? he’s nothing more than a hollow suit that need a teleprompter to speak …..give me a break.
******* *****
DONT WORRY GRANDPA SIMSON IT WILL ALL BE OVER SOON AFTER NOVEMBER, THEN YOU CAN TAKE YOUR LITTLE IQ OF A FIRE HYDRANT MOOSE IN HEADLITES AND ROLL BACK INTO OBSCURITY; Be it the retirement home of SHADY PINES or the meth capital thats Alaska .
Just when I didn’t think I could lose more respect for the ultra-liberal AP – they amaze me again. They used to pretend not to be biased. I can’t believe the partisanship of the main stream media! I feel like I’m looking at state-run media.
Moderate this, you Breitbart folks. I’m in love with Noneya, so what?
John McCain failed to understand that once the liberal elitist media person asked her question, it is a fait accompli.
How dare John McCain respond to the reporter!
It’s about time you took off the gloves John and treated these left wing, pseudo intellectual wackcos with the remarkable restraint that they don’t deserve. Yes, don’t deserve ! Actually, that you were able to answer in a calm, assertive manner is a testament to your ability to demonstrate remarkable emotional control under duress…learned, I sure, as a tenant in the Hanoi Hilton. It’s the kind wisdom we need to lead this nation of the miserable despair brought on to us by the socialist Democrats. At least you’re not using police and prosecutors to form truth squads, like in Missouri.
He is just being chivalrous. He is protecting a woman that he respects. We need more of this from McCain. BTW, I am an undecided independent voter.
So Carol Palin is scary? So then you are comfortable with Obama’s church? Black Liberation Theology for 22 years. Reverend Wright… “not God Bless America but God Damn America, God Damn America its in the bible” or “US of KKA” or “Hillary ain’t never been called a N#$%er” Tony Rezko, Bill Ayres, Rashid Kalidi (PLO Operative) – they don’t scare you, but Sarah Palin scares you. Interesting logic from the OBOTS – Go sing your freaky song now
I didn’t know PTA experience counted when your talking about being President of the United states!
Just because George W. Bush lowered the bar so much doesn’t mean we have to go this low.
Stop for a moment and think.
She has barely 2 years experience as governor.
She was Mayor of Wasilla Alaska 6,715 people for Gods sake.
She can barely construct a sentence(See Couric Interview).
-McCain is unbelievable, he feeds this garbage to his Republican audiences and they obey and carry the same mantra…
It’s deeply disturbing that he and his wife his Cindy can say that Sarah has foreign experience because she lives near Russia and Canada…
Republicans use your Brain!!!!!!!
You do have one in there someplace.
Can’t wait to hear Palin implode at the debate…
Can’t wait for Biden to say something stupid either….
My favorite individuals that I respect ( my husband and my father) are often irritable and sarcaristic. I usually find it is with good cause. It makes me respect their human side and authenticness. In fact, sometimes I (a female-type) am even irritable and sarcastic, and it too has been when I was being interviewed by the local community media. Better than an “empty suit”! ADF, Director of Public Relations and Development, York, PA
Another case of poor journalism for aspiring students. The reporter wrongly interpreted the interview. The reporter should only describe the event without any attempt at interpretation.
A correct headline/summary should have been in the vein of Senator McCain’s defense of his VP selection. His reaction should have been left to the readers/listeners.
Wrong again in the journalism corner.
Take that, moron! Note to liberal media: we see right through you. Your antics only cement our support for McCain, so keep it up.
What are the odds of Obama getting any of the following questions:
Barack name one thing you have changed before?
Name one accomplishment?
Name one occasion in which you crossed party lines and got something accomplished?
The leftists have successfully infilitrated and covered the entire news organizations. Next step control the education system and pop culture via programming. The last step to a Communist country teach I mean brainwash all the childern with songs praising our leader.
Sorry to disagree with most comments but the interviewer makes a good point…..Palin has performed very poorly in interviews and it made me second guess his pick…I for one would hate to see Palin as my President so will no longer cast a vote for McCain. I think he should have made a better choice. Just because you do not want to see the writing on the wall does not make it any less true.
Wow… I was really expecting some fireworks with this headline… quite the disappointment. I can’t believe AP would actually waste the effort to comment on his perceived tone… unless, of course, they have an agenda. I’d like to see a little more of this from McCain. I would say Obama was a great deal more irritable when O’Reilly interviewed him… but then again, it was the first time he wasn’t thrown softballs.
Conservatives might as well turn off their TV’s and cancel their newspaper subscriptions (if they haven’t already) till after the election. The media are on a full-court press now and you can expect almost blanket favorable coverage of Obama and relentlessly negative coverage of McCain and Palin from here on out. Polls will be skewed to show Obama ahead so as to discourage Republicans from voting. So get used to it.
You liberal jerks are puking plonkers and McCain is just putting you in your place, which is about as low as it gets. McCain and Palin are Class Acts but you creeps are rude namecallin marrxist gotcha-gotchas. You make me sick. Governor Sarah is a Lady, start treating her like one or we will show you hairylegged welfare moms and absent dads whose boss!
Its about time McCain started showing who he really is and wipes the floor with these scum who don’t even deserve to breathe the same air as God-fearing real Americans.
Republicans are a peaceful polite people but if you cross us just once too much than the gloves come off and we treat you the the infantile morons you are. Got it? Now go back to your basements and leave John and Sarah alone.
Oh, of course the Des Moines Register won’t call Obama an untested, lacking experience, far-left socialist sympathizer now will they? They’ll pepper Sen. McCain with crap questions all day but they won’t call “a spade a spade” now will they? Typical liberal double standard is making me and millions across this country sick! Can’t wait for November and more Democratic sniveling and crying!
Maybe he should have asked her whether she has noticed that there are millions of people who are skeptical (I’m being kind here) of Obama’s qualifications.
Duff – Obama’s experience
community organizer: ACORN leftist organization, CAC with Bill Ayres (Domestic Terrorist ) Woods Fund with Bill Ayres
State senator: Part time job – he votes present accomplished nothing
US Senator: 143 days before running for President
Obama is a fool without the telepromptor
HOPE….. CHANGE……
Your logic is completely bankrupt
Palin has been a Governor longer than Obama has pretended to be a Senator –
Duff just tell me what Obama has changed before?
Where was this John McCain during the debate?
Another prime reason why the Des Moines Register has readership levels that match the current approval rating of the Democratic lead Congress. The wannabe main stream press here just wants to stir controversy to sell their tabloid news. I don’t recall them ever talking about how Barry seemed flustered and angered during the first debate. Or how Barry and his boys are almost 100% responsible for the current financial mess! I hope all of those who voted for Hope and Change got a rude awakening of what is to come in 2009 if you continue to elect these crooks.
Carrie wrote, “Just because you do not want to see the writing on the wall does not make it any less true.”
Excellent point! Too bad that more people who are IN DENIAL cannot simply see the FRANK TRUTH that you speak.
I DO NOT see McCain as being irritable or sarcastic. He is firmly stating her credentials. It’s about time the campaign said enough is enough on this wild fire rumor that she’s not qualified. She is more qualified then Obama. He’s just had longer to study his talking points.
This is so ridiculous! There is nothing sarcastic about his remarks. I say go John go!! He’s perfectly right in what he is saying. The media makes me sick and this just more reason why. Clinton was always irritable in interviews but God forbid the media would even dare say it! It’s so obvious what’s going on, the media wants NOBAMA to win. But I’ll never no why America would want a socialist and his unpatriotic wife in the White house!
Here we are posting again. We are liberal lesbos who will vote for Sarah Barracuda….We love that she shoots them ugly caribous, and cooks em up nice…
The headline attached to this article and video is absolutely what I have come to expect from the mainstream media.
I think that McCain handled himself just fine.
It is not tha Palin doesn’t have experience. She just has it in the wrong areas. PTA, Mayor of Wasilla and Gov for 18 months in Alaska does not make you qualified to run the Country.
Yeah! Go get ‘em, John! That’s what we want to see more of!
McCain-Palin 2008
(Or Sarah “The Barracuda” Palin for President, 2012!)
McCain is at his best when he’s not taking crap out of liberal pinheads. Palin is more qualified to be President than Obama. If she lacks experience, what does that say about the liberals’ Messiah?
Awesome. Give ‘em hell John!
McCain is correct in pointing out that America is siding with him in support of Sara Palin! His comments were decent, firm, and to the point! Thank you John McCain! You have my vote!!
Moderate this, Breitbart Simpson….
Oh man, this man is out of touch.
I think he’s losing it.
Plus I know A LOT of Republicans who are embarrassed of Palin. Please McCain, so do you.
Not buying it. go sell crazy somewhere else.
Aarrgh Aarrgh ! John ! You rocked !
Biased AP as usual.
Whiny, stupid, silly-sounding reporter !
Hahaha, I wonder how Obama and Biden would have reacted to the same question and tone of this reporter ?!
Would they have called the reporter ’sweetie’?
LOL.. yeah right !
KevFag From Va,
So being a darky community organizer from Chicago makes you more qualified “to run the country”? You libs are so moronic, you make illegal aliens look smart…
I love Noneya,
Namaste
God Bless John McCain and Sarah Palin!
I hope God Blesses the USA and does not heed the curses of Jeremiah Wright! The man Obama claims led him to Jesus does not believe in the same Jesus real Christians believe in. If you don’t believe me, look it up! Wright was on TV asking the moderator if he had read any books by James Cone. so, I looked it up. Cone defines it as “complete emancipation of black people from white oppression by whatever means black people deem necessary.” For Cone, the deeply racist structure of American society leaves blacks with no alternative but radical transformation or social withdrawal. So-called Christianity, as commonly practiced in the United States, is actually the racist Antichrist. “Theologically,” Cone affirms, “Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man ‘the devil.’” The false Christianity of the white-devil oppressor must be replaced by an authentic Christianity fully identified with the poor and oppressed.
I don’t trust Obama or any of his associates or any Demonrat and few reporters.
Great job Senator McCain. You held your own. Now the media is spinning this out of control saying you’re “sarcastic.” It’s just like saying that Obama “won the debates.” Anyone watching and researching things on their own can clearly see that you’re once again the man on top. Keep up the good work despite the spin.
I JUST WATCHED THE INTERVIEW. AND ONCE AGAIN, THE LIBERAL LEFT WING SMUG BIAS F-ING MEDIA BRANDS THE McCAIN INTERVIEW WITH A HIGHLY CRITAL BRUSH. I THOUGHT JOHN McCAIN DECORATED WAR HERO(SOME 17 MEDALS AND COMMENDATIONS),AND A GREAT LEADER, DID VERY WELL. SARAH PALIN DOES HAVE MORE EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE THAN BARACK OBAMA(B.O.-PHEW!) BARACK OBAMA HAS GOTTEN A FREE RIDE FROM THE MEDIA. HE IS NOT A MODERATE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FASION. HE IS A FAR LEFT SOCIALIST LIBERAL, MASQUERADING AS A MODERATE. HIS CAMPAIGN IS A FACADE!!!! BY THE WAY JOE BIDEN, OBAMA`S FIRST ACT AND DECISION FOR CHANGE, HAS BEEN IN WASHINGTON SINCE NIXON.AND NOBODY TALKS ABOUT BIDEN`S TWO BRAIN ANNYERISMS, ALSO– MR(WORDS JUST WORDS) OBAMA IS RATED THE MOST LIBERAL IN THE SENATE AND BIDEN THE THIRD MOST LIBERAL SENATOR IN THE SENATE, BY THE LIBERAL MAGAZINE–”THE NATION”. WHEN ARE THE ELITEST MAIN STREET MEDIA GOING TO DO THEIR JOBS AND BE FAIR AND BALANCED JOURNALIST NOT ADVOCATES FOR BARACK “THE PHONEY” OBAMA? GOD HELP US IF B.O WINS. IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST MEDIA FARCE BY A CON MAN AND SHELL GAME ARTIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY, A DAILEY MACHINCE HACK. SHAME ON AMERICA IF THIS HAPPENS. I STILL HAVE FAITH IN AMERICA, I BELIEVE IN GOD, THIS COUNTRY AND CAPTIAN JOHN AND SARAH BARRACUDA!
TO KEVIN FROM VA:
It is not that Palin doesn’t have experience. She just has it in the wrong areas. PTA, Mayor of Wasilla and Gov for 18 months in Alaska does not make you qualified to run the Country.
AND
Kevin! Obama can run the country with his community organizing skills ?
YOU GO McCAIN!!! SHUT THAT SO-CALLED “JOURNALIST” DOWN!! HAHahahaha
IT’S GOOD TO SEE YOU FIGHTING AGAIN!!!
WE ARE BEHIND YOU!!!!
OBAMA=CORRUPTION
HE CAN KEEP THE “CHANGE”
JUST SAY NO!!!
I am an independent. What I saw is a reporter asking leading questions that Senator McCain answered directly and fully. The reported followed up with more leading questions. Senator McCain showed his patience by continuing to disagree with her position and restate his opinion.
What is the deal here. This is another example of the media trying to make the news instead of reporting it. God help us!
There was no sarcasm at all here. That headline was a figment of the writer’s imagination. I just don’t get it.
Right on John! I’m sick and tired of the media going to bat for Obama all the time. He’s obviously not man enough to win his own election. He’s gotta have these snooty morons do it for him.
I liked the swipe at the end at Biden’s gaffe too, which I think 0.1% of the media covered.
That’s “irritable” and “sarcastic”? That’s the depth of AP’s “professional” commentary? I wonder what they would call someone who is irritable and sarcastic? What a bunch of bottom-scraping low-lifes.
F#@K AP!!!!
IN THE TANK FOR OBAMA THE CORRUPT SOCIALIST!!!
THEY ARE THEIR OWN JONESTOWN AND THEIR “DEAR LEADER” IS AT THE HELM!
YOU BETTER WAKE-UP PEOPLE!!!
WE’RE BEHIND YOU McCAIN!! YOU HANDLED THAT INTERVIEW DEFTLY. GOOD MAN!
Wow what sarcasm! Golly gee! I’m shocked!!
Now if only McCain would go after Obama’s advisor, Franklin Raines, who was the CEO of FreddyMac, took a 90 mill golden parachute and ran it into the ground.
Holy Mama! That’s irritable? That’s sarcastic? Who the hell says so. I find that description without foundation or basis in fact. Must be some other pinko journalist sticking up for his main squeeze who was properly challenged by the senator. He should have asked her what the hell Obama has in his curriculum vitae that is any more superior to Palin’s. Answer=absolutely nothing. Unless close associations with domestic terrorists and convicted felons trumps everything else. Not to mention nut job preachers! We’re talking 20 year associations!

DAN ! WHY IS McCAIN OUT OF TOUCH AND CRAZY?
BECAUSE HE DID NOT SAY ‘YES, YOUR HIGHNESS! MY RUNNING MATE DOES NOT HAVE EXPERIENCE SINCE YOU SAY SO’?
It is obvious form reading these comments that you guys need to get back to work and quit fu*cking off so much. The economy is going to hell and what are you doing? screwing around in threads. What a bunch of losers. I hope your employeers catch and fire you.
Way to go Senator!! Let’s see some more of that attitude and then maybe we can get this left winged media frenzied election over with. With the RIGHT Candidates- John McCain AND Sarah Palin!!!!
“iirtable”?? “Sarcastic”??
I guess AP correspondents have never taken a taxi in New York City.
Regis49: Thanks for the correction.
hey Yo1,
It looks like your a republican plant.
Just waiting to comment and shoot down everything
that anybody says.
How long have you been with the Mccain Campaign?
Is PTA enough experience to run a country?
Is running a town of 6,715 people
the same as running a country of over 300,000,000 people?
it’s like taking the owner of a hotdog cart
and making him president because he ran a hot dog cart?
Whose dumber George or Sarah?
BTW-I love the video of Palin with Couric, she can’t even name a newspaper or magazine she read….
and you want this to be president?
I see neither irritability nor sarcasm in McCain’s response. I see a clear, concise answer (though he respectfully disagrees with the reporter) and I think the liberal media are trying their damndest to sway the election.
My money is on Pali kicking some serious Biden @$$ tomorrow night! Go Sarah!!
And, kudos to John McCain for not cowing to these left wing rags & their liberal reporters and for standing by his Veep-pick! He rocks!
Barney Fwank (he looks like a fwank) and the rest of his Masshole liberal chronies be damned!
He actually listed the PTA as an example of her experience!

Way to go, John!. AP is part of the drive by media, and we conservative minded people know they have one agenda, to elect Telepropter Obomber and Joe “Gaffe” Biden, no matter who they have to smear to acheive that goal. Joe Biden, The drive by media wants so badly to make people think that Gov. Palin is a “dumb blonde” that they are making fools of themselves in the process. Of course, many in our great country are too busy watching Dancing with the Stars or some other brain swill to take note that they are being led to the trough of Obomber and thus socialism. God help us.

There was no irritability detected in my mind. What is up with this? Slow news day?
Wonder if the same questions from this reporter were asked of the “all mighty one”.
Biden skipped out on military service 6 times, John Mcain has two children serving in the Military one in Iraq and one in the Naval Academy.Sarah palin has 1 son serving in the U.S. Army. Senator Obama had no military service but admited to smoking drugs and attended a church for many years where the pastor preached hatred and Stated “God Damn America” these are Facts. I have not even started to talk about their position on policy, If I did I would probably be called a racist or better yet arrested by the Truth Squads or maybe my children would be taken from me and indoctrinated in a Obama camp and learn to sing praise to the messiah in multiple keys.
My mind is made up NO Boma Not now not ever No thanks. And no you A$$ wipes I am not a racist I am black.
duff, you sound like a typical liberal plant and YES! I would take Palin over Biden any day. He has been wrong so many times that his kind of experience is not an asset. And, to the wise ass that posted first at 4:58. conservatives are extremely productive. Otherwise you skank for brains libs couldn’t give away much of what we earn to buy votes from those that you keep suppressed for your own survival. Without victims you have nothing so it is necessary for you to keep manufacturing them or lose power. Thanks Barney, Chris, Nancy, Jimma and all you other Dim-ocrats for the sub-prime holocaust. Thanks alot. Bet it bought a lot of votes though.

“It is not tha Palin doesn’t have experience. She just has it in the wrong areas. PTA, Mayor of Wasilla and Gov for 18 months in Alaska does not make you qualified to run the Country.”
Sir: Explain what “qualifications” either Obama as a community organizer and “present” voting senator, or that dumb@ss Biden have to run our country? I look forward to your response.
Thanks!

WELL DONE JOHN.
I’m stunned at the support for this ticket,
utterly stunned.
You people would scrutinize a football coach more than someone running for VP.
Yes she’s charismatic and just like the “common people”.
I would like to see someone in that position that’s not a “common person”, thank you. Yes, I want a VP that’s smarter than a “hockey mom”.
This blows me away.
It is silly to call him irritable. This is the media trying to fabricate the narrative they want. McCain was straightforward and direct.
I am SO GLAD he put her in her place. How in the world did she become qualified to give an interview? It should be non-partison. Lady… You have been fed. Oh.. by the way, the ‘experienced’ politicians might need to know that there are not 57 states in the Greatest Country of the World..USA. Where are the Democratic Blunders????? Can’t find much on Palin and McCain out there besides her ‘teenage pregnant daughter’… Meanwhile we have a ‘black/white’ that only claims his ‘african’ heritage that carries a hindu God bracelet on him while claiming to be a christian that was had education (even for a short amount of time) as a muslim. Also.. another thing that is hilarious is that HOLLYWEIRD actually supports this weirdo w/ his strange ‘economic’ or lack of economic ways even though they are the “5%” he wants to tax at a higher rate…sounds kind of strange to me. Kind of like his ‘associations’. The Liberal Media and the Democrats are out to destroy our country and will do whatever they can (recruiting homeless people to vote..for a meal)to make sure it happens. Stop the Madness and vote for a true Hero and a true American Woman. McCain/ Palin in 08′
I support the Obama Biden presidne becus I don wan my cheks to stop. Thay sid gonna giv more frea chease to. Try giv the black man a chanse.
This so-called reporter is a Liberal Skank!It was HER wgho nwas RUDE!! And to all the idiots who went against McCain in this video? You are the DUMMIES! You can’t see that Obama is the lying nasty creep that he is…..as are MSM and all the Liberal,Gay,Feminists.All you care about is ABORTION!
Vote McCain-Palin if you want to save us from these knuckle heads.
Smug, arrogant and not at all a public servant. Obama isn’t much better. Baldwin is. Nader is more obedient to the Constitution than McCain. Barr is more interested in the will of the people than either of the majors.
I’m sick of these assbananas. I want someone in office who is an obedient public servant and does the bidding of the people he/she represents. McCain has an axe to grind. And his running mate is woefully malqualified.
Vote your conscience, people. Surely, this ticket isn’t it?
I detect NO SARCASM here! I saw this when it was “live” and didn’t see/hear it then and I don’t now. What is WRONG with you people???
Who is the candidate that terrorists want in office? Who is the candidate that the majority of felons want in office. Obama Hussein.
Let liberals continue to run their mouth…their ignorance is screaming loud.
..strong and stalwart in defending a colleague against a smug attack,not backing down against an inquisitor;call it what you want…i want him defending me and my country.then again he has proven experience in that arena.Ultimately,i thank you for the mischaracterization;it prompted me to view the video clip and that removed any hesitancy i may have had about voting for him…….. ….BZ!! senator McCain!!
Irritable? I think he showed more patience than most people would having to answer questions from
1) a clear Obama supporter who continues to draw a blind eye to his OWN inexperience, and 2) just a general stupid person who thinks shes multitudes more important than she actually is.
Did McCain compare Palin’s 18 months as governor of Alaska, with Ronald Reagan’s 8 years as governor of California?!?!?
She’s inexperienced and her popularity is plummeting because of her weak weak weak public performances.
He should have picked Romney. No wait, the VOTERS should have picked Romney, instead of this out of touch celebrity RINO McCain.
I challenge anyone to give me 1 merit based reason why Palin was picked instead of Romney.
None of the above 08
I want a pandering, lying Neegro for President..Obamination, and Namaste for me…
Hey Duff – I am just an entrepreneur trying to figure out which business models to pursue; unfortunately this election has a tremendous impact on the direction I will take my company. Thus I have been following it closely. Duff you must be a plant because your logic is nonexistent.
Palin has run a city as Mayor and the State of Alaska. I believe the Governor of Alaska has the 5th most responsibility / power of any Governor in the US. Obama has not run anything except the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) with Bill Ayres. And since you work for the DNC you would know that the Annenburg trust had a major falling out with Obama due to a lack of reporting and complete failure.
So Obama has run one organization that had $150M budget and it was squandered.
To compare Palin’s executive experience as the Governor of Alaska with a budget in the trillions and being in charge of the Alaska National Guard compared to Obama’s failure with the CAC is preposterous.
Executive decision making is not done in hindsight therefore said decision makers’ belief system and character guide all decisions.
Obama has been on the record once for a decision not made in hindsight and that was the surge. Obama said not only won’t it work but that it will do the reverse. Obama was dead wrong because of his negative belief system in the US military.
Obama’s money man is Tony Rezko. Obama and Rezko are friends for 20 years and Rezko helps Obama buy his house. Rezko is convicted on 16 counts of fraud via political fixing and Obama sais “this is not the Tony Rezko I know.†… “That nobody had any idea Tony Rezko was a crook.†Either Obama is lying or he has the worst judgment in history.
How about Reverend Wright, Obama sits in that anti American, racist church for 20 years and once again Obama sais “he had no idea Reverend Wright said those remarks.†Once again either Obama is lying or Obama has the worst judgment in history.
How anybody thinks that Obama has the experience, ability or judgment to be president is beyond me. Duff you do a good job selling a car with no steering wheel or brakes.

Hi,
What terrorist Cronies?
And OF COURSE i’m willing to dig into ANY candidate that’s running for president, or VP.
So,yes, show me these terrorist cronies.
In caps or lower case, doesn’t matter, i’ll look.
The only people that don’t like Sarah Palin are the Obama media-wing, Partisan Democrats, socialists, marxists, sexists, blacks, fruit cakes, tree hugging enviro-nuts and animal rights freaks. Pretty much All other common sense thinking people are ready for a strong woman to put you donkey’s in your place.
Pointing out the media’s desire to carry Obama’s water is a campaign winning issue.
NOW Thats what I call leadership..McCain/Palin get my vote!
Raji- Weathermen Bill Ayers
“He is an unrepentant terrorist” Chicago Radical
William Ayers Weather undergroud
The connection between Obama and Ayers is truely disgusting and should scare the day-lights out of everyone. the Democrat Party did not vett this closet Marxist and the general bleeding-heart media is part of the cover-up, they are in the tank for the far leftist democrat party.
oops! Raji- another type-o undergrou(n)d
William Ayers Weather Underground
Yes Senator, SOME peple KNOW FDR didn’t address the American people on tv! HA
At least he didn’t backhand the annoying NPR reject who was “interviewing” him (gently, of course, in a mellow tone of voice with that blank glassy-eyed Obamazombie stare). Why do they always sound like they’re on a heavy dose of anti-depressives and/or have been hitting the bong recently?
In any case, I don’t see from the video that he was more than a little of either irritated or sarcastic. Not that I’d want to waste my time watching the whole thing, but I wonder if she ever bothered to ask him about his positions on the issues?
I’m a phuckin lesbo for Oblama… And i love Noneya…Phuck you, you mean right wing coksukkers..
Too bad he did not bring up Obama’s lack of experience. Obama is running for President, not Vice President. Why isn’t the media asking questions about Obama’s lack of experience?
Oh, right… it’s because he is their candidate.
Wake up people, these charlatans are trying to reach into your pockets to cover-up their failures and more shameful than that- is that there is not a soul in the general media that is talking about what got us here in the first place… the truth. We’ve been had.
The duped American people need to know who gets the majority of the blame.
I am so sick of left wing media bias I could just puke. There is a double standard which is obvious to anyone with half a brain. Conservative Americans needs to rise up and let mainstream media know this is unacceptable. Their ratings are in the tank so perhaps they have already begun.
I love the fact that the book over this republican leaders left shoulder is titled “Abortion.” Suck on that Palin
Hi Ok, i did some digging on this weatherman “terroris cronie”.
Here’s what i found:
There has been a sudden spate of blog items and newspaper articles, mainly in the British press, linking Barack Obama to a former member of the radical Weather Underground Organization that claimed responsibility for a dozen bombings between 1970 and 1974. The former Weatherman, William Ayers, now holds the position of distinguished professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago. Although never convicted of any crime, he told the New York Times in September 2001, “I don’t regret setting bombs…I feel we didn’t do enough.”
Both Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund of Chicago, between 1999 and 2002. In addition, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s re-election fund to the Illinois State Senate in April 2001, as reported here. They lived within a few blocks of each other in the trendy Hyde Park section of Chicago, and moved in the same liberal-progressive circles.
Is there anything here that raises questions about Obama’s judgment or is this just another example of guilt by association?
The Facts
The first article in the mainstream press linking Obama to Ayers appeared in the London Daily Mail on February 2. It was written by Peter Hitchens, the right-wing brother of the left-wing firebrand turned Iraq war supporter, Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens cited the Ayers connection to bolster his argument that Obama is “far more radical than he would like us to know.”
The Hitchens piece was followed by a Bloomberg article last week pointing to the Ayers connection as support for Hillary Clinton’s contention that Obama might not be able to withstand the “Republican attack machine.” Larry Johnson, a former counterterrorism official at the CIA and the State Department, predicted that the Republicans would seize on the Ayers case, and other Chicago relationships, to “bludgeon Obama’s presidential aspirations into the dust.”
The London Sunday Times joined the chorus this weekend by reporting that Republicans were “out to crush Barack by painting him as a leftwinger with dubious support”.
The only hard facts that have come out so far are the $200 contribution by Ayers to the Obama re-election fund, and their joint membership of the eight-person Woods Fund Board. Ayers did not respond to e-mails and telephone calls requesting clarification of the relationship. Obama spokesman Bill Burton noted in a statement that Ayers was a professor of education at the University of Illinois and a former aide to Mayor Richard M. Daley, and continued:
Senator Obama strongly condemns the violent actions of the Weathermen group, as he does all acts of violence. But he was an eight-year-old child when Ayers and the Weathermen were active, and any attempt to connect Obama with events of almost forty years ago is ridiculous.
In the short term, the person who has most to gain by speculation about Obama’s acquaintance with a former terrorist is Hillary Clinton. The former First Lady likes to present herself as “tested and vetted” after years of exposure to Republican attacks, in contrast to Obama, a relative newcomer to hardscrabble presidential politics. Such arguments resonate with Johnson, the counterterrorism expert, who told me that he is a Clinton supporter, although not involved with the campaign.
But the Obama-Ayers link is a tenuous one. As Newsday pointed out, Clinton has her own, also tenuous, Weatherman connection. Her husband commuted the sentences of a couple of convicted Weather Underground members, Susan Rosenberg and Linda Sue Evans, shortly before leaving office in January 2001. Which is worse: pardoning a convicted terrorist or accepting a campaign contribution from a former Weatherman who was never convicted?
Whatever his past, Ayers is now a respected member of the Chicago intelligentsia, and still a member of the Woods Fund Board. The president of the Woods Fund, Deborah Harrington, said he had been selected for the board because of his solid academic credentials and “passion for social justice.”
“This whole connection is a stretch,” Harrington told me. “Barack was very well known in Chicago, and a highly respected legislator. It would be difficult to find people round here who never volunteered or contributed money to one of his campaigns.”
The Pinocchio Test
The question is not whether a connection can be established between Barack Obama and a former member of the Weathermen, but whether it has any significance for the 2008 presidential campaign. Could Bill Ayers become a political embarrassment for Obama? Let me know what you think.
Gosh! You never heard of Obama’s 20 year old friendship with Ayers or Obama’s 20 something years relationship with his pastor, Wright?!
wow ! Some scrutiny !
Anyway, Google search and scrutinize. While you are at it, dear, also search for ACORN and obama.
I see what you are saying Arh however.
I’m answering a question that asked about the “biased” media and why they haven’t scrutinized him on his “terrorist cronies”.
And the answer is, they did, it’s just that the facts were such a stretch that they don’t stick.
Raji,
Do you suck goat’s or camel’s dikks?
Raji,
I apologize..I believe you sukk Barney Fwank’s dikk.
ha. uh..
well, i would have to look at the length of both
dicks and then determine which one i think would taste better.
Or would you just grab a dick and start sucking on it because that’s how they do it where you come from?
Raji,
How about the girth? Or do you just like Black dicks? Phaggot
How can the AP news even begin to call John McCain Irritable or sarcastic????? He was not even close to that! He was just confident and direct! He acted very Presidental! AP news is just another extention of the Liberal Media- who are trying desperatly get the RADICAL,CRIMINAL Obama elected! Go McCain
Whoops ! you seem to have just done that and posted it ! did not see it before I posted my reply. Will go through what you said later during the evening and reply, Raji.
Raji-Phag,
I just swam across the Rio Grande…Will you sukk my dikk? Puleeeeeze?
But if it had been Obama, he would have been PRAISED for being “confident and self-assured.”
dem libtards are so very afraidof sarah dey be poopin in they pantaloons
This thread has disintegrated into idiocy. Can’t you morons try and be serious?
I THINK THAT MCCAIN SHOULD JUST RETIRE. HE IS TOO OLD, OLD DOGS CAN’T LEARNED NEW TRICKS. THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A FRESH NEW START AND WE CAN’T HAVE PROGRESS IF WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME OLD MENTALITY ABOUT PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING! I AM NOT A REPUBLICAN OR A DEMOCRAT, PEOPLE SHOULD VOTE USING THEIR BRAIN NOT FOLLOWING THE HERD LIKE THEY NORMALLY DO. ASK YOURSELF, WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU? TO ME, IT IS THE ECONOMY
AND SO FAR REPUBLICANS DID NOTHING TO STOP THIS RUNAWAY TRAIN FROM GOING OFF THE RAIL…NOW MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES…I AM NOT A FAN OF PRO CHOICE ADVOCATES BUT THIS TIME I’M VOTING DEMOCRAT BECAUSE I WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO RETIRE AND I ALSO WANT MY CHILDREN TO BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME
Is was great to see John stand for what he thinks is right and enough of these so called reports trying to make the news rather than report it.
Keep telling the world about all the lies the libs and their free advertising media are telling. At least half of this country is stupid enough to believe all Odamas (yes I said O dam a)lies. We, the moral, truthful conservatives have to call them on each and every lie. These people are despicable and I hope McCain and Sarah keeps telling the public the truth.
PEOPLE THINK I’M A DOPE BECAUSE I USE ALL CAPS, THEY’RE RIGHT.
maybe you want to check out the boston herald ,headline says
“herald readers put blame on barney frank.
by joe dwinell.
also theres a piece on sarah baerhart that she was dumpted from a fundraiser for the comments she made about our sarah.
mccain/palin08
It was a good thing she wasn’t interviewing me…I would have put her in her place!
She was asking and delving trying to make something out of nothing! She was baiting him!
Yet, another biased media person.
I’d like to see her grilling the Flim Flam Obamaman…would have been much different had the questions been about “his” running mate!
We are fighting a real battle here America. Those of us conservatives are being pushed to the back of the bus! Another era of discrimination has begun!
He sure doesn’t like to talk about his free healthcare does he? That expression of McCain’s was priceless. “What, you’re going to call me out for being a hyhpocrite?” He does ok, doesn’t he? He receives $58,000 a year for being on 100 percent disabilty. He’s also got Social Security. Then he gets a salary of around $160,000 a year. On top of that he has his wife’s money. Her father got all his money for being a fall guy and doing time for another associate in the mob.
I think it’s great that McCain enjoys his money and his free healthcare and benefits, but why deprive others of the same type of benefits? If he’s so against all of this pork, why doesn’t he forfeit a significant portion of his own benefits?
I’ve got a neighbor who served in Vietnamn as a gunner. He only receives 69.5 percent disability, and he can’t walk. He seems to have also been affected by Agent Orange.
These veterans today have it even worse. I read about a recent veteran who was left in a wheelchair because of a war injury without use of his arms and use of only one of his legs. The military wanted to give him 20 percent disability. This guy really fought it and they finally gave him 30 percent disability.
I remember recently a few minths ago McCain voted against a modern version of the GI Bill. Yet, McCain still receives that 100 percent disability money. That doesn’t seem right to me.
A few typos. I’m tired. Sorry.
Of course he was sarcastic; look it up in the dictionary – there’s no point arguing over a fact.
Hey, conservatives – aren’t you proud of the people in this comment list who are profane, homophobic and juvenile? I know I would be – when in doubt, make fun of the way someone talks or try scatological humor; it sure beats facing the issues.
Do any of you who invoke Ayers as the devil incarnate know the context of his comments? Do you know which of those “evil” quotes are ones he has disputed the accuracy of from the beginning?
Of course not! The fools who “exposed” him do, but the truth spoils the really cool story. How’s THAT for objective reporting?
You’re not interested in the truth! You’re much happier viewing politics as a professional wrestling match being narrated by those radio fools who are lining their pockets with your money:
The liberals make a statement and the radio guys smash a capsule of chicken blood on their forehead. “AHHHH! I’m mortally injured!! He cheated! And the ref (MSM) was looking the other way!! Only we know the truth!! Will justice ever prevail?? Who will win the championship belt??” Stay tuned…..
You all deserve whatever you get. I just pray that you’re never poor.
What planet is he on? The same one Bush is evidently! The people that love Palin are the comedy writers! Some also love her because she caused McSame to tank!
When Bush was told by a woman she had to work three jobs to make ends meet, he said “Well that’s good!”
If McSame was told the same thing, he would say,”Well, that’s not enough, and don’t think your getting health care and retirement for it, THAT’S MINE”
People, watch McSame steal this election the same way it has been done for the last 40 years.That’s why he can be so smurkie’.He already knows.
Check out who is C.F.R.
This is John and George on the stage all over again.
P.S.(it’s so secret we can’t talk about it)
Dawn,
Real original, and humorous with the “McSame” crap. Do you sukk Riji’s Dikk?
What a Joke the Media has Become this Election.The Man answered the questions.What was he supposed to do lick the reporters toes? I’m getting real tired of this liberal crap!
Dawn you want the government to take care of you move to Cuba. Dawn what do you think that rich people have a money tree? And your yard doesn’t have one… I just don’t get it.. I would love for you to tell me what it takes to “get ahead” or have a “good life” in America. Why are the rich keeping you down?
Um, what is it going to take before you to give up on your Republican ticket. Gees, that Party has put you on the road to ruin and you are out there defending the old rich guy and the useless twit. The world is dumbfounded at the stupidity of many American voters. Is it the education system? Is the Republican Party a cult that employs brain washing? It’s stunning! At least the polls are finally turning. Do you know why Sarah could not name any newspapers or publications she reads? Because she did not want to name National Enquirer, Star and People. Can’t wait for the wreck tomorrow.
My God, what a bunch of democrap comments! McCain responded to the incsssant questions in a calm cool knowledgable professional manner. Irritable, sarcastic, I don’t think so. If those words accurately describe McCains behavior, then what would calm, cool and knowledgable be like.
If I was asked a stupid question by the media, I would probably really become irritable and sarcastic in response. I have been asked questions by the media, both in print and TV and at least they were civilized and proffesional at the time, not like the biased media of today.
I think that Mccain ought to be more irritable and sarcastic when being interviewed by the drive by biased media. A Casper Milktoast is not what we need as the Commander in Chief in the White House.
The Casper Milktoast name translates to meek and mild, unable to stand up for oneself for those of you too young to remember the comic strip character in the newspaper a few years back.
Nick,
I don’t know if you’ll see this, because I don’t plan on checking back here after I post this because I have better things to do. But in case you do read this:
People always make such a big deal of McCain and the fact that he’s so rich, etc. It is not Senator McCain that is rich, but his wife! McCain does not share in the profits of Hensley, Co. His children do, but the money does not go to McCain himself.
In 2007, Obama made over $4 million, due to book royalties and such.
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/congress/fin_dis/2007/o000167.pdf)
In the same year, McCain made about $250,000 because he donates all of his book royalties to charity. So don’t pin him as an out-of-touch rich, white man. Obama and Obama’s wife are very wealthy (of course not to the extent of Cindy McCain). They are more wealthy than Senator McCain is.
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/congress/fin_dis/2007/m000303.pdf)
Consider this. During the Bush presidency the 400 wealthiest Americans added $700 Billion to their bottom line for a total of $1.6 trillion among themselves. That’s a nice improvement for only 8 years. $700 billion is more than the wealth of the bottom 150 million Americans. Yes 400 people vs 150 million. Talk about redistribution of wealth, during the same time the average American is taking home $2000 per year less. In addition, in other countries, CEOs make 20 to 40 times what their average employee’s salary is. In America it’s hundreds of times, even 400 times. You Republicans will claim, “So what, you can make it in America, it is the greatest. Yes, it’s very good for the very top. They have their own Party apparently. What you fools don’t realize is this is the stuff of what revolutions are made of. The Republican way is to throw you a bone on abortion and gays and then proceed to rape you and the nation to line the pockets of the extreme rich and huge corporations. They actually don’t give a damn about you and they know you are too stupid to figure it out.
Obama is your only hope
(a) Carol said, regarding Sarah Palin, “… Me? I don’t know- she’s scarey. And I am not the only one thinking that.”
Yes, I am sure you are not the only one who is scared and shivering in your boots, because you realize how dangerous she is to you by being so smart and beautiful and gutsy that she might help McCain win the election.
(b) I don’t believe that the above vulgar comments were made by conservatives. If they were – STOP! Leave that stuff to the illiterates.
(c) I thought that “Comments containing foul language will not be posted”?
This is the year that the media SOLD THEIR SOULS and became an active political arm of the Democrat Party. They deserve to rot in hell as far as I am concerned.
The ***** could not take “I disagree with your premise” as an answer… what a immature little girl.
The man is lying through his teeth! You can tell he is tired of having to defend his pick. If he hasn’t seen the latest poll number his campaign staff should be fired. Nice try John McSame but this ain’t playing. Not even your Republican base believes she is qualified.
All of you who are complaining about media bias just step back and look at the record. McSame has been the darling of the media for twenty years. When you make a comical pick like his VP choice the media does have a right to question you on it. Sorry it hurts John deal with it!
It’s about time…..this is the John McCain I want to see!
They characterized John McCain as irascible and sarcastic here? You are kidding? He was very respectful towards this reporter who kept harping on this same sore point relentlessly without giving any evidence for her findings of Palin’s lack of experience to be #2 when she has far mor governing and legislative experience than the #1 on the Dem. ticket.
Senator McCain tried his best to answer in a civilized manner even though this point was harped on again and again. Give me a break — this wouldn’t be bias on anyone’s part, would it??
A spade is a spade and a smart ass liberal puke is a smart ass liberal puke.
McCain was replying to a disrespectful pointed question, I thought he answered it pretty calmly, considering if he was going to answer it sarcastically he would have pointed out that Palan has more experience then the Democratic Presidential choice Obama, who is an ultra liberal con artist, but a terrific speaker. He also could have pointed out how Palan has not gone to a church that hates America, or has friends and staff who are members of hate groups.
Based on the rather shallow insight from the reporter, one would think George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were unqualified to hold office. It’s clear she could not remember rest of the DNC talking points she received. Kudos to McCain for calling the reporter on it.
[...] Did you catch the three-part interview by CBS News’ Katie Couric and Republican nominees Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this week on TV? In the interview with McCain and Palin together, they looked like an upset father trying to explain his daughter’s behavior. (One of my girlfriends said the way McCain would wring his hands reminded her of Hitler’s gestures in old war footage.) I am still waiting for McCain to lose it on air. He has a well-known temper on Capitol Hill, and his sinister smile sometimes looks like he is about to blow. In fact, during an interview Wednesday, McCain was described as “sarcastic and irritable.†McCain told the Des Moines Register he hadn’t heard of anyone being uncomfortable with Palin’s lack of experience. McCain actually cited Palin’s PTA stint as proof of her experience. If you ask me, he comes off as mean in the interview. I sure hope McCain is wrong when he said: “I am so happy the American people seem to be siding with me.†It seems every word out of Palin’s mouth has to be justified and explained by the GOP as something innocent. No, McCain said, we don’t tell our enemies of our plans to bomb them; (remember when he was caught singing “Bomb Bomb Iran†to the tune of the Beach Boys song, “Barbara Ann�) Palin had basically threatened Pakistan in claiming America will be tough, and not hesitate to strike our aggressors. McCain said Palin was asked the question in an informal setting, (and what? Didn’t count?) and mainstream media is fond of “gotcha journalism,†to which Palin replied with “yes, gotcha.†Couric’s incredulous expression after their answers, I think, sums up the way most American women are feeling these days. Are they serious? They must really think Americans are stupid. And I don’t. Democrat VP nominee Sen. Joe Biden debates Palin on Thursday night, and he is already being called a bully. It will be interesting to watch, because in every interview I have seen with Palin, she just doesn’t have the answers. She tries to bullshit her way through, and it is pathetic. (I did think the same way about Bush’s debate answers way back when, and could not understand how people (voters) could not see through his bullshit answers. No substance. No real plan. Pathetic. Look what’s happened.) Remember if you don’t vote, you can’t bitch. Most states have an Oct. 6 deadline to register. http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=186333 [...]
This form of “gotcha” journalism will not work on Mr. McCain. Why don’t you be “watch dog” on Obama and see why he will not release any of his documents. What is he hiding? Instead of this constant attack of meaningless questions, when are you going to ask the right questions to the only person that knows and that is Mr. Obama?
I am very interested in this

what about this stirs such anger against Mr. McCain? He was simply pointing out his opinion about Mrs. Palin. I cannot believe that this is even a headline.. Although it does point out how negative the press is against McCain….
wake up America…see that this press is being bought!!
