John McCain is coming on Letterman.

[Floogeldy]

Watch the meely-mouthed weak fuck in action, if you want.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Fuck no.

:popcorn:

[democracyindanger]

2. No sex threads.

[Montauk6]

31. ewww

[rbnyc]

32. You beat me to it! (nt)

[obxhead]

3. might as well....

I'll take the bet that odds are in his favor....

:popcorn:

[Floogeldy]

5. No doubt.

Odd people will favor him. ;)

[elshiva]

9. Why? I don't think his pretend moderate stance is going

win much...

[obxhead]

14. It's still only going at 2:1

I'm waiting until just before the real Delay trial and the real hearings into the taps..... Then I'll take "McPrez may be" at 50:1.... I'll roll those dice..... at 50:1 how could you pass it up.

4. If I wanted to listen to a war criminal

I'd have tuned in to the state of the union.

:popcorn:

[Floogeldy]

6. Good point.

:)

10. McCain a war criminal?

As much as we may not like him, I don't think it's very good taste to go after his military service. After all, we don't like it when they do it to us. McCain got a nice taste of the SwiftBoat treatment during the '00 election. Let the ultra-conservative repugs who hate him tear him apart. There are sooooo many things to take issue with McCain that we don't need to go down this route.

[LeftyMom]

11. go down what route

I'm not taking out ads on CNN, I'm making a comment in the lounge. :shrug:

[BushOut06]

13. I'm just very uncomfortable attacking anyone's military record

Unless you're referring to his support of the Iraqi war, in which case I misunderstood.

[LeftyMom]

15. That was what I had in mind

I really can't say one way or another about his actions in Vietnam, I was born in 1981 so I really don't feel entirely comfortable sharing my opinion of that whole mess, let along any individual's role in it.

[TheWebHead]

19. yeah that reminds me of Mike Molloy

who a few weeks ago was complaining about McCain and called him a "sky murderer" in passing, undoubtably a reference to the fact that he was captured after doing an air bombing run over Hanoi. A total cheap shot that made me lose a lot of respect for Mike.

[elshiva]

7. Thanks for warning us.

[Floogeldy]

12. U Welcome.

:loveya:

[swag]

8. Steve Clemons has been obsessed with this appearance

http://www.thewashingtonnote.com

[Floogeldy]

16. Like I said. Meely-mouthed weak fuck.

He is on Letterman decrying the evils of "money and power" while at the same time he has kissed Bush's ass while approving every bill and measure that is emptying the treasury and delivering it to Halliburton, pharmaceutical companies, the Carlyle Group, etc. . . .

He is a putz and should be tarred and feathered.

[Floogeldy]

17. He is on the Neocon bandwagon, picking a fight with Iran.

[mitchum]

18. Is he gonna tap out the top ten list?

Yes, that was a very low joke.

20. Some links for those who would defend John McCain:

Haunted By Spirits
John McCain derived his wealth from his marriage to Cindy Hensley McCain, whose father started his road to riches as a bootlegger. As a politician, the senator has remained beholden to the liquor industry and the family business.

An Endowed Chair
Senator John McCain's push for campaign-finance reform has helped make him a presidential contender. Donations from special interests that appear before his Senate Commerce Committee haven't hurt, either.

Have you ever heard Van Morrison's cover of "Ain't No Sunshine"? :thumbsup:

[Floogeldy]

24. I don't remember.

Is it moody? :)

[Heidi]

25. It's lovely.

Check your mail. :hug:

[Floogeldy]

26. Okay

3 of his top 5 contributors are in direct opposition to each other - so basically McCain wins no matter what he does.

[Heidi]

29. Thank you for actually reading through the links.

There's no shortage of reasons to doubt McCain's integrity, in my opinion. :hi:

[BushOut06]

30. Hey, I used to admire McCain

I always thought he was one of the "good" repugs, standing up to them. I know lots of conservatives who hate McCain, so I always thought that was a good sign as well. Even now I think he'd be better than Bush - but honestly, that's not really saying a whole helluva lot, is it?

But watching him keep grovelling at the feet of the BushCo regime after they continually abused him - the '00 primary race was particularly brutal - I kinda started losing respect for him right around then.

[Robeson]

21. No Fucking Way....

...total slimeball.

[Ron Mexico]

28. I actually sat through that shit and am very happy for everyone who

chose not to.

My contempt for that guy is practically limitless.
