I mean… what was he supposed to say?
AbaddonsReign on April 9, 2008 at 10:47 PM
Entertaining? OMG…
upinak on April 9, 2008 at 10:48 PM
That was awkward.
terryannonline on April 9, 2008 at 10:48 PM
Between this and that Sunni/Shia softball, Kelly sure was bringing the tough questions today, huh?
Allahpundit on April 9, 2008 at 10:48 PM
“entertaining”. I guess that’s a word to describe it.
amerpundit on April 9, 2008 at 10:49 PM
Oh gawd, I can just hear it now…
“McCain said ‘the Obama GIRLS!’ … PLURAL! There’s only ONE Obama GIRL! Sheesh! He doesn’t even know the difference between sunnis and shi’ites either!”
Tony737 on April 9, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Is it just me, or can you also not wait to see he and Obama finally get to the real debate? This “niceness”, while theoretically ideal, will slowly erode and crumble as the debate moves forward. I say let’s get to it already.
thedecider on April 9, 2008 at 10:51 PM
It is entertaining. If you don’t take it seriously, which Mac clearly doesn’t. Even worse, it’s catchy.
“Kelly sure was bringing the tough questions today…”
Good thing they axed Gibby then.
Spirit of 1776 on April 9, 2008 at 10:52 PM
SO he hasn’t heard of the McCain Girls, but then says he has seen the video several times? Just saying.
Vigilante on April 9, 2008 at 10:52 PM
beyond awkward. knowing McCain and his frat boy Senate posse, they’ve probably been ripping him for this all week. i could see grahmnesty and liebs breaking out into song on the campaign trail and McCain flipping out on them.
malan89 on April 9, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Yeah, I was confused by that myself.
terryannonline on April 9, 2008 at 10:54 PM
After the Summer conventions, this will be a long forgotten happy memory…..
Seven Percent Solution on April 9, 2008 at 10:56 PM
I agree with John McCain, for the first time ever.
He knows it.
He will not resign from the Senate.
A Hint?
Indy Conservative on April 9, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Huh? So what was the quote exactly?
HawaiiLwyr on April 9, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Even if the cut was in the wrong plce. I still agree with that cut: McCain should not be president, nor any of them.
We need new candidates.
Indy Conservative on April 9, 2008 at 11:02 PM
Why would be resign anyway? Kerry didn’t even when top pollsters were predicting he would win the White House.
amerpundit on April 9, 2008 at 11:02 PM
So what do you call a show with Kelly and Mathews?
Softball Pillow Fight?
/got nuthin…
Tman on April 9, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Obama and Clinton won’t resign from the senate a hint?
Chakra Hammer on April 9, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Ack.
Please! Three active Senators are running right now…and which one has showed up for the most votes? McCain. Obviously he’ll resign
ifwhen he’s elected POTUS, and the Gov. appoints a Republican in his place until the next elecion in 2010. If anything, staying on in his Senate seat shows a lot of character.JetBoy on April 9, 2008 at 11:06 PM
“… staying on in his Senate seat shows a lot of character. – Jet
I don’t normally disagree with Jet, but this time, I dunno. I thought Dole showed character by resigning from the Senate when he ran for Prez.
Tony737 on April 9, 2008 at 11:09 PM
McCain has a hotter wife than Obama. :}
Chakra Hammer on April 9, 2008 at 11:14 PM
I agree. As long as he doesn’t miss any important votes (that AREN’T related to immigration, he can stay home for those), why should we care?
malan89 on April 9, 2008 at 11:17 PM
I’m sorry to go O/T, but can you elaborate? Genuinely curious. What difference does it make? McCain stayed in 00 to run in 08, but message candidate Tancredo quits as did Hunter.
Follow-up question, legislators rarely get elected…so maybe they don’t want off the roulette wheel. What about legislators that quit to run, lose and then run for gubernatorial office (to possibly set up another run with exec experience)? Character or just avoiding the political dead-end? Dole didn’t run again, but his wife was certainly aided by his name in her election.
I’m actually really curious. I want to agree with you, but I think it means nothing.
Spirit of 1776 on April 9, 2008 at 11:18 PM
I don’t think he says he hasn’t heard of them
Baphomet on April 9, 2008 at 11:19 PM
Damn AP, you had me worried for a second there. I thought we were gonna get Rick Rolled for the second time tonight.
RMCS_USN on April 9, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Thing is, McCain was re-elected to the Senate by the people of Arizona. He has that job to do. Although I believe he’ll beat either Dem, and most certainly will be the next POTUS, nothing is written in stone just yet.
I mean, heck…the man won’t even take Secret Service protection. I don’t know how any Republican can’t like the guy.
JetBoy on April 9, 2008 at 11:31 PM
McCain lied!!!!
Shy Guy on April 9, 2008 at 11:32 PM
When it comes down to questions like this, we are all in trouble.
What happened to “Real Politics”?
Nelsa on April 9, 2008 at 11:35 PM
Clearly McCain girls need to spend less time in front of the camera and more time in the gym.
It is utterly absurd that public persona matters for the Presidency. The best President is probably the media-shy inellectual.
highhopes on April 9, 2008 at 11:44 PM
It would’ve been better if he had said Obamagirl can make a video about him once he’s president, but it’s easy to say that on my comfy couch and not off the cuff.
SouthernGent on April 9, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Depends on what the meaning of “S” is.
RushBaby on April 10, 2008 at 12:00 AM
Hey Allah
get a life
winemkr on April 10, 2008 at 12:00 AM
He could have accused the info-babe for being sexist for asking how the McCain girls “stacked” up [air-quotes] against the [obviously buxom] Obama girl. He could gotten his back all up, a little high dudgeon, and then said, “Nah, I’m just spoofing. Just wanted to see what it felt like to be a Democrat.” Yo.
smellthecoffee on April 10, 2008 at 12:14 AM
Does that video remind anyone else of Biz Markie?
29Victor on April 10, 2008 at 12:24 AM
He didn’t say Obama Girls, he said Obama girl’s – he was talking about her videos. Apostrophes are important and often neglected and abused.
Mibrilane on April 10, 2008 at 12:39 AM
I heard him say “I have seen them, I have seen them,yes.” when the McCain Girls are first mentioned to him at the begining of the clip. When did he indicate that he had not heard of them???
bevslape on April 10, 2008 at 12:42 AM
Did she ask, “How do they stack up?” Was that a way of asking if their feminine pulchritude, so to speak, is comparable?
NNtrancer on April 10, 2008 at 1:05 AM
He forgot to use quote verbal punctuation quote period It is now required period
All of the candidates need to learn this period Otherwise comma the will be misquoted period
Just take a lesson from Lt. Gen. Russel Honore in New Orleans Over

Slow night.

Took them words right outa me mouth matey. : )
Texyank on April 10, 2008 at 1:40 AM
Allah, are you going to permit this clearly racist post to remain un-deleted? Why, I’d say it is the NEW “ultimate hate bomb,” even WORSE than daring to utter Obama’s middle name,
Hussein, er, Humperdinck, or whatever./sarc

Being an America Hater, and demagoguing the deaths of brave soldiers for political gain is not pretty or hot by any standards.
Chakra Hammer on April 10, 2008 at 5:23 AM
Once again, they are Dems. They aren’t McCain fans.
EduardoOTI on April 10, 2008 at 10:56 AM
I was talking about the video. I DID see it… *shivers*
