John McCain on The Daily Show

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

Don't forget to tune in to The Daily Show tonight to see John McCain's historic 13th appearance on the show.

Or do forget. What do I care? It's your business.


 

UPDATE: What I've learned from this interview so far -

  1. He's not sure what his Secret Service code name is, but thinks it's "Jerk."
  2. If he were to wear a propaganda t-shirt, it would have to be glow in the dark.
  3. John McCain has an excellent sense of comedic timing.
  4. McCain's out of context "100 years"quote was taken out of context.
  5. Politics is dissimilar to to bean bag.
  6. Dwight Schrute? WTF?

Many thanks to Sgt. Pepper Politics for live blogging McCain's appearance in the comments below. And many thanks to him for not linking to his own blog in every comment.

  1. Jon, Ron's book is top of the list on NYT bestseller and Amazon's bestseller. Ron has garneshed over 1 million votes. He's claiming more delegates than was ever expected by the est. and will seriously be challenging the title of presumptive nominee. He's beaten out the other eight or so repubs. Could title it, "Who's the real Republican"?

    You could seriously pull in the whole cable viewing audience that night if you were to publicize a debate between Paul and McCain. Or better yet host a debate on a combined show with Steven having all four of the canidates. I wonder if Colber wouldn't jump on that booty?

  3. Why not have Ron Paul? You remember how popular the clips are of your first interview with him are, don't you?

  4. Jon, I hope you do invite Dr. Paul back on your show... He will actually have intelligent answers to questions such as how to help the economy....

  5. Well, it is too bad that McCain does not tell the truth. Get Ron Paul and McCain together on the Daily show for a real debate. That would be the highest rated show ever.

    Here are the facts on McCains straight talk..

  6. As cited above, a Republican mini-debate between McCain and Ron Paul on the Daily Show would be fantastic! Ratings would skyrocket!

  7. Jon, Are you allowed to talk about this article spreading on the web?----- Petrified of Ron Paul- A Tribute to Ron Paul's young supporters and America's future voters. It might make for a great TV show. http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/global_elite_gather_135.html

  8. Watch out Jon, the Paulestinians have arrived.

    If you have Paul on the show, you may want to ask about his well-documented connections to neo-nazi and white-supremacist groups as a conversation started before getting into his 18th century solutions to 21st century problems.

  9. Now you need a follow up with Ron Paul... he's still in the race, and McCain has more or less challenged him... it'll also be the perfect opportunity to discuss Paul's new bestselling book!
