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. Any chance that it was purposely done on "Hump" day?

  2. Oh, Jon! You really tried to be serious with your denouncement question. Let's face it. McCain is a "flaming fraud."

  3. Watching Jon Stewart smooch Sen. McCain was the most painful experience I've had since a tooth extraction earlier this week. I like The Daily Show but will someone explain why Jon acts like a bitch in heat everytime the senator shows up? Jon must know the Straight Talk Express careened off the track and mired itself in Gitmo Swamp long ago. The man has betrayed every alleged principle he convinced people he had, yet Stewart panders to him as if he were T. E. Lawrence. My balm from Gilead was quick and certain, however, when I turned at once to Olbermann and heard him reciting the ARizona senator's most recent fatuous follies about Hagee, Falwell, Parsley and Hamas. Get off the McCain train, Stewart, or lose the ratings game. He's a loser.

  4. This interview even further convinces me that John McCain is not intellectually or morally capable of being president of the United States. Referring to others as evil and denegrating them as individuals does nothing to resolve issues which confound the world. He is as black and white as Bush. I also am a bit turned off by McCain's playing to the audience and the softball nature of Jon's interview.

  5. Very, very disappointing interview. Why does Jon keep inviting his old pal McCain and butt-kiss him every time? There were so many tough questions he could have asked McCain, including his phony statement of conducting a "respectable campaign". Deliberating trying to connect Obama to Hamas - is MCain's way of running a respectable campaign?

    I always suspected that Jon was a closet McCainmaniac, but this last interview confirms it. Perhaps he's shooting for McCain's VP slot.

  6. I would have voted for McCain in 2000 if the Republicans hadn't screwed up the nomination then. he would have made an excellent president for that first term...but I don't think another Republican administration is right for anyone....although I would vote for him if Hillary were his VP.

  7. By the way, the photo should be entered in your Caption Challenge. Much fodder for thought there!

  8. fruck no! I realized that I would have to be as insane as McSame to vote for him! Did he really answer any pertinent questions? No!! All we found out is that he wants a day-glo teeshirt, his name is Jerk, & he likes attractive wemen in teeshirts. Oh, I forgot, he's also The Worst Enemy of 90% of the world!(except for Bush)...

  9. people should lighten up about the whole "the world is going to end unless we do something about it now" type mentality. Doesn't matter who we vote for, it's gonna end anyway

  10. To Gav in regards to his (or perhaps her) comment "that socialism has failed in every single country this world has ever known":this is exactly why much of Scandinavia has descended into chaos.
