McCain praises Schmidt and Wallace, says “it’s time to move on”

I held out on Palin posts today as long as I could but some drama simply must be blogged, my friends. A diplomatic statement by Maverick, and no doubt an attempt to exert a little authority in defense of his loyalists, but the famous McCain temper can’t be suppressed forever.
I figure he’s at about DefCon 3 here.
“There’s been a lot of dust flying around in the last few days and I just wanted to mention that I have the highest regard for Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace and the rest of the team … and I appreciated all the hard work and everything they did to help the campaign,” he said.
“I think it’s just time to move on,” he said…
“Campaigns are high-pressure situations. The only more high-pressure situation that I’ve been in is combat and prison,” said McCain, a Navy flyer shot down during the Vietnam War and held prisoner for 5-1/2 years.
“But you know, I’m proud of Nicolle and Steve and (senior campaign official) Rick Davis and (senior adviser) Mark Salter and I’ll always have great affection for them,” he said.
McCain, who has largely kept silent in the high-profile run-up to Palin’s book release and tour, said he remained proud of Palin, whom he plucked from obscurity as governor of Alaska last year to join him in his campaign.
Er, didn’t he ask his campaign staff just two days ago to not give the story any extra oxygen by eschewing TV interviews on the subject? Does he not realize that defending those staffers from his former running mate will … actually give it a lot more oxygen? It’s not like Palin’s going to follow his lead and agree that “it’s time to move on,” either. She’s got a book to promote and this is one of the chief topics. If he’s trying to smooth this over, he’s doomed to fail, at least in the short term.
If you missed it in Headlines, here’s video of Nicolle Wallace obeying McCain’s wishes — sort of. Such is Wallace’s credibility these days that even Maureen Dowd tends to believe Palin over her. Yes, really.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!

Then again if he went on Maddow, who would know? Rachel, Chrissy and AP. That’s it. Maddow is SOOO last year.
Blacksmith8 on November 18, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I won’t believe that until the Chinese (PRC) own and run MSNBC… Although, I doubt they would have to censor much.
MeatHeadinCA on November 18, 2009 at 10:06 PM
its always time to “finally” “take the gloves off” with mccain and “rinos” in the palinstinian rubber room. palin is 100% electable – it’s just that the electorate is part of the anti-palin conspiracy.
nope. these are those uber-patriotic troop supporters who think the sitting president saluting returning coffins is a dishonorable disgrace but that st. palin running to ft. hood to sign autographs over the warm bodies of the recent massacre is okay.
eh on November 18, 2009 at 10:06 PM
the fact is that palinstinian zealots hate mexicans more than they love the troops or america.
eh on November 18, 2009 at 10:09 PM
John McCave you lost my friend. I am sorry to say My Friend that you have less honor than we thought. Remember My Friend you had your fun with demeaning Palin and conservatives since you lost. Now My Friend it is time for everybody to know about you and your incompetent staffers.
AP where did you get this “My Friends” disease from?
antisocial on November 18, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Assuming that there are palinstinaian zealots, can you prove that they hate mexicans and that this hate goes deeper than their love of the troops?
MeatHeadinCA on November 18, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I think its in MSNBC’s charter to devote 10 minutes every hour to obsessing about Sarah Palin.
Speedwagon82 on November 18, 2009 at 10:11 PM
can you prove that mccain called anti-immigration nuts “racists”?
eh on November 18, 2009 at 10:20 PM
LOL
beachgirlusa on November 18, 2009 at 10:20 PM
or that he has attacked palin in any form?
eh on November 18, 2009 at 10:21 PM
No. Why would I try if I never made that claim?
MeatHeadinCA on November 18, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Now, you did make an assertion. Can you back it up?
MeatHeadinCA on November 18, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Uh, by anti-immigration nuts, do you mean people that believe in the rule of law?
Sneaking into the country and stealing American jobs and using tax payer funded entitlements is still considered illegal.
And, before you start with the usual meme…’jobs Americans won’t do~I’m sure at 10.2% unemployment, Americans will work construction jobs.
HornetSting on November 18, 2009 at 10:27 PM
So if I am Mexican and I like Palin, who do I hate again? Yes, I have it now, TROLLS!
bluemarlin on November 18, 2009 at 10:34 PM
I’m half Mexican~I guess I hate myself…Hmmm.
Could you be any more racist, eh?
HornetSting on November 18, 2009 at 10:35 PM
Is that HornetSting going Canadian? ;)
MeatHeadinCA on November 18, 2009 at 10:39 PM
I am half Mexican myself, now that I think about it though, all of me dislikes idiots who have to bring race into conversations that it does not belong in. Illegal immigration is not a race thing, it is an illegal act that hurts our country in the long run, period.
bluemarlin on November 18, 2009 at 10:41 PM
hehehehe…hahahahahah… That is so stupid.
antisocial on November 18, 2009 at 10:43 PM
So here I am, one of those you are smearing but before you go off on your righteous “love” of others, here is my story.
My mother is a natural born American. I on the other hand was born in Canada. When my family moved back down to the US when I was a teen ager. That almost didn’t happen for the red tape and problems we met. MY MOTHER IS AN AMERICAN and they almost didn’t let me and my Canadian born siblings in. I AM AN IMMIGRANT! a LEGAL ONE!
IT irritates me to no end when you pretend This is about race. It isn’t. It is about the security of our borders and the fact that we don’t have to let everyone in. NO OTHER COUNTRY DOES IT! Not russia where a lot of illegals come from, not Ireland, Australia or New Zealand or the kicker of all kickers.. MEXICO. If you want to talk about loosening some of the numbers of immigrants each year I am for it.
But here is my case against stupid unsecure border lovers like you- Teen agers used to take the jobs that “NO american’s will do” but they can’t now because they have been priced right out of the entry level job market. People like you say it is immigrants. Mexicans, russians, and others here illegally don’t give a Rat’s pattuti that they become American’s. they come for the tax free benefits at my expense. You are likely on welfare so have no clue what I am talking about. They are NOT real Immigrants. Someone like ME is a real on.. I wanted to BE american, TO LIVE In American to say I AM AN AMERICAN! Illegals do not. They don’t care. LEGAL immigrants care because they work for getting here. I vote for sending the fakes all home and sending unsecure border lovers like yourself with them. You don’t deserve your citizenship.. from a real American to a fake.
Noelie on November 18, 2009 at 10:43 PM
because it’s the seminal claim in the portrayal of mccain as a vicious, backstabbing rino traitor. the antimccain derangement of populist conservatism is based on the fact that he wasn’t in lockstep with the anti-immigration nuts.
maybe you came in accepting some second-order anti-mccain meme, such as the claim that he’s somehow done palin dirty. if that’s the case, then feel free to “prove” that mccain did or said something wrong by palin.
if you’re not an anti-mccain nut at all, then feel free to drop it altogether.
not in general. i mean people who believe that a misdemeanor transgression is equivalent to an “invasion” which threatens the republic.
derk er jerbs!
i still cant get over all of these “conservatives” who are prepossessed with a concern about the stability and sustainability of entitlement programs.
i work at the low end of the wage scale and, yes, those jobs americans wouldn’t do in the good times are still jobs they won’t do. i see white co-workers and black co-workers ditch their jobs summarily because working for less than $9/hr is a hassle they’re unwilling to endure. the people who don’t speak english are the only ones who appreciate that they have a job in this recession. i know at least two “tea partiers” who are spending the recession at home trying to get on sosoc disability benefits for phantom pains they claim to have.
eh on November 18, 2009 at 10:55 PM
I’m just sick of hearing about Palin. I don’t hate her nor love her in anyway, just sick of hearing about her. She became a celebrity politician (don’t believe me? When Gawker, TMZ and Entertainment Tonight start covering you, and a brat like Levi gets air time, you’re a media personality).
Once she does something worth noting, like win an election or run for office again (not that I would vote for her), let me know.
DanStark on November 18, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Oh, I’ll drop as I please, don’t worry. Thanks for the “proof” or the “evidence” that got-em
MeatHeadinCA on November 18, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Then don’t click on these treads.
Don’t read these comments.
Is someone forcing you to read about Sarah?
Move on.. it’s a big Internet, read something you care about.

McCain never got over his Daddy issues.
He needs help and a looooooooooong rest.
omnipotent on November 19, 2009 at 12:01 AM
Did I ever say he did? Please point out where I said that.
MeatHeadinCA on November 19, 2009 at 12:03 AM
He is a “commie?” He’s anti-American? Most likely anti-American-as-it-stands. His actions would appear to be anti-American, by definition, but perhaps he was trying to bring America to his own version of America. What’s your point?
MeatHeadinCA on November 19, 2009 at 12:05 AM
This “nutty conspiracy” has video of McShame confessing. Said video was aired by his captors for the world to see. The Navy spin doctors said he would have died from his injuries if he had not been given medical attention, and to get that medical attention he needed to make a cong propaganda film. He did and it is still out there to see if you look for it.
And juliesa, hufftards love McShame and would never slander or tell the whole truth. As for who I am my screen name tells it all: jarhead0311 a US Marine grunt (1960-1964). Semper Fi you twit.
jarhead0311 on November 19, 2009 at 12:13 AM
I believe it was Lindsey Graham who called those of us who support the existence of a Mexican border, “bigots”. For which McCain has never criticized him.
McCain has not called us “racist” that I know of, he just insists our refusal to pay tribute to antiAmerican separatists was “Chickenshit”.

It’s hard to ignore when every channel has a segment on her.
When a politician turns celebrity, they lose credibility.
DanStark on November 19, 2009 at 1:04 AM
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. McLame is just another GOP beltway insider who proves my point by providing cover for his POS minions. Allah has proven my point for me, and for that I thank Allah ….
CRIPSE! Now I DO sound like a bloody Terrorist. Maybe 0bama’s DHS is right. [snicker]
BTW, I believe Romney, and Huck-a-wannabe are also lousy beltway insiders. IF they get the chance to be the Republicans selection in 2012 I’m certain they will prove me to be right. Again!
DannoJyd on November 19, 2009 at 1:06 AM
You’re a liar.
Her new book is a best-seller. Some find that notable. But if it’s really causing you problems, perhaps you’re complaining to the wrong people.
But enough about Obama.
Jim Treacher on November 19, 2009 at 2:58 AM
MCCAIN is a RINO lacking in political courage and “FIGHT” that he asked us to have for him.
The rest of these other losers, Wallace, Schmidt were parasites and closet Romney supporters to begin with.
If McCain had shown as much defense of Palin as he had of the losers that worked in his campaign maybe he’d be in the Freaking White House right now……….but, oh that’s right Soros called him and told him to take the dive so Judas could win. Sorry, my bad.
PappyD61 on November 19, 2009 at 7:20 AM
my guess is that you’ve never even tried to investigate this for yourself.
eh on November 19, 2009 at 8:05 AM
Palin would do well to step lightly around McCain. There’s nothing quite so unattractive as ingratitude. She’s enjoying a place on the national political stage today… because McCain put her there.
Both the McCain campaign and Palin herself have blame in the fact that they fell short in 2008. Nobody put a gun to McCain’s head and forced him to “suspend” his campaign, only to go to Washington and cluelessly support the TARP. And Palin certainly could have, and should have, refused to allow little Katie Couric to eat her lunch on national TV. Ultimately, it was Palin’s responsibility to protect her own political image despite whatever direction she received from the campaign staff.
Frankly, while I disagree with McCain ideologically on certain issues… I have more overall trust in him. He’s a known quantity, and even though his sense of honor and integrity might, on the surface, seem arbitrary at times… there’s a pattern that I recognize and understand.
I don’t know Sarah Palin, and even though I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt on her decision to abandon the governorship of her state, I’m unlikely to trust her blindly.
If she wants to get into a “he said /she said” with McCain… I think she might be disappointed at the outcome.
Murf76 on November 19, 2009 at 8:41 AM
A+ If he really had control of his campaign he would have understood that they were hurting HIS campaign. This clothing issue should have been nipped in the bud before it became such a big deal. Why would anyone honestly think that someone being dismissed as hillbilly trash would even know where to get a high priced stylist who could command a 50K payment for her services?
I hope Palin doesn’t allow any residual affection for McCain to overrule his lack of support and do any campaigning for him.
katiejane on November 19, 2009 at 9:08 AM
Well, if Palin doesn’t move on and never speak about these issues again, she will have proven herself the egomaniac I always thought she was- in the same vein as Obama himself. I’ve read excerpts from her book, and she comes off as constantly whining, constantly a victim. I watched her for an hour on Hannity last night, and she came off as a victim. MOVE PAST IT PALIN. If your goal is to talk about the issues, then stop talking about your hurt feelings from the campaign. I’m sorry, and I know she has no job so must sell books, but she’s proving the point of those who don’t think she can handle the pressure of governor let alone president.
TheBlueSite on November 19, 2009 at 9:19 AM
From comments Tanya has previously made about Palin, even an untrained person like myself can read that she doesn’t like her.
katiejane on November 19, 2009 at 9:29 AM
McCain may have advanced Gov Palin’s rise to national politics but it is likely that she would have become a known brand within four to eight years anyway. The problem with McCain was always that he follows mostly his progressive (read liberal DIABLO) aides and not the sentiments of his conservative base. His affection for being in the NYSlimes and WashComPost as their favorite republican spokesperson (why would he be a favorite of such leftwing democrap papers?) went to his head. Gov. Palin is doing McCain a favor by alerting him to the mediocrity and mendaciousness of these non republican/conservative aides.
eaglewingz08 on November 19, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Yeah, they did a bang up job. Schmidt’s urging you to suspend your campaign to go to Washington to vote YAY! on the Banksta Bailout, the largest theft of the people’s money and the biggest scandal in the history of the republic, was pure genius.
Very mavericky.
Rae on November 19, 2009 at 11:24 AM
It’s time to move ABOVE THE RINO.
maverick muse on November 19, 2009 at 11:46 AM
NOW I’M TICKED!
I have three teenagers that have had a horrible time finding jobs. My oldest daughter (now Sophomore in college) applied over 40 places and finally found some part-time jobs to help pay for college. SHE WOULD KILL FOR A $9/HR JOB!
Instead, she saw for herself how illegals have taken over many of the low-end jobs. And before you say she wouldn’t do some jobs… think again. My daughter is a “softball-chick” who carried bundles of shingles up ladders to the top of our two-story house when we were re-doing our roof.
You are a hundred percent wrong here. Low-end jobs used to be filled by teenagers. Now, they have to compete with illegals.
dominigan on November 19, 2009 at 12:21 PM
I also claim BS on this argument also. Illegals know they can get jobs because they underbid everyone legal. And they don’t appreciate the job… only the money.
A friend of mine, who is a roofing foreman, has had horrible experiences with the lack of quality typically exhibited by illegals. They take frequent breaks for no reason, and he often has to redo the majority of their work.
They take real work away from real Americans.
dominigan on November 19, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Yeah. We need to move on; just like he moved on from his primary loss from 2000. Spent the next 8 years being an ambulatory anal inflamation for the GOP; giving the media cover to snipe and snark at his own party because we had the temerity not to elect him. Bad as things are, I am so happy this backstabbing RINO f*ck lost. Retire or switch parties, you useless RINO bastard.
austinnelly on November 19, 2009 at 1:27 PM
He’s a politician. He isn’t going to throw anyone under the bus.

And the FEAR she creates is showing everywhere.
I love it.

the people who don’t speak english are the only ones who appreciate that they have a job in this recession.
eh on November 18, 2009 at 10:55 PM
What an incredibly stupid thing to say. By that definition, the fact that I speak english means that there is no way I appreciate my job. How on earth can you make that statement with a straight face? Where’s the connection? The ONLY ones??? Re-read what you said, which has now been reposted at least twice, think it through, then tell us what you really meant to say. A mind is a terrible thing to refuse to use.

How is it you have time to post on a website in the middle of the afternoon if your so busy doing jobs that other american won’t do?
What exactly is that job they won’t do?
You generalize about a whole group because you know two people.
Maybe they are just two run of the mill losers like you one other person.

Jim Treacher on November 19, 2009 at 3:07 PM
the portrayal of palin as a maligned woman suffering from betrayal by the mccain team is basically the plotline for the tabloid conflict between jennifer anniston and angelina jolie. the only difference is that jennifer anniston
You are the sort of person that deserves a major ass whippin’ every day for the rest of your life, just on account.
As someone who follows Sarah very closely, and lives about 20 miles from Ft Hood, Texas, I knew she was coming, before the terror attacks.
But even if she HADN’T originally planned this, so what?
Form Facebook:
Let’s see, she’s donating money and just publicized the website of the organization set up to aid those families harmed by the al Qaeda connected terrorist. The same one the Chicago thug “president” is trying to cover his ass over. Did you know that this terrorist was on Obama’s Homeland Security transition team, did you?
Anyhow, Sarah’s visit to Ft Hood will be most appreciated, and by posting the website http://www.forthoodausa.org/ on her Facebook page, she just exposed it to millions of patriots who will help as well.
Now, kindly go crawl back into what ever sewer you dwell in.
gary4205 on November 19, 2009 at 4:05 PM
The real question and story here relates to which Republican Lilliputian 2012 candidates will hire these inside-the-Beltway trolls.
Pawlenty has already hired some of McCain’s crack politcal team, which doesn’t exactly give me good feelings about him being the kind of outsider our country and the GOP need.

The point of good leadership and building a team is knowing when you’re receiving good advice. Surrounding yourself with mentors/advisors who are smarter than you is the right thing to do.
BS has a problem. BS is opposing Levin, Hannity, Beck, and Limbaugh. You stoooopid. Remember folks, Rush is right in so many ways.
Blacksmith8 on November 19, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Let’s start calling a spade a spade.
The Rinos and commies know that LaRaza, Soros, and lots of lots of cashola come with being an illegal lover. It has zero, zilch, nothing to do with any other reason. The dems. see voters for them and rinos will never get their vote.
Soros gave McLame tons o money during the amnesty kerfuffle so things are just going along swimmingly for the commies…America will be “Idiocracy” in no time.
Mexico is beautiful and rich with resources..The corruption and drugs make it unlivable. Now we have it too….Isn’t that great.
The worst part is the hokey racism crap…nobody believes it…It is about the money and the votes. The heck with America. Congress will live in their gated communities with their cadillac health plans…..see you in the que with hose and his six kids.
nondhimmie on November 19, 2009 at 5:11 PM

Would their names dictate who dominates behind closed doors…
Or do they do the old switcharoo …;)
jerrytbg on November 19, 2009 at 5:52 PM
This statement by McCain is EXACTLY the problem. Instead of embracing the new life-giving blood into the Republican party, the old guard circles the wagons, my friends. Until republicans start seeing this for what it is – A WAR AGAINST LIBERALISM – and acting on it like Sarah does, we will never get back in power and radicalism will continue to ruin this country.
Sarah Palin was the only factor that caused true excitement and optimism on the right in 2008, and only true conservatives willing to speak their heart and mind will do the same in 2010 and 2012. This Rodney King approach to politics will get us run over again and we need leaders in the party who will not get along with liberals but destroy their arguments, policies and philosophies.
We better strive for unity now because if we keep eating our own we are done before we get started.
txrmctague on November 19, 2009 at 6:16 PM
I like Sen. McCain. I was happy to vote for him in 2008, and I remain aghast that he lost to the leftist rookie. He’s had a long-term reputation for being tight with his staff – there’s not a lot of turnover. Rick Davis and Mark Salter have been with him for ages and put their heart into that campaign. However, the way Sarah Palin was trashed by his staff after the campaign was tacky and unforgivable. Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace were not exactly subtle in dropping “anonymous” bombs on Gov. Palin.
Sen. McCain didn’t participate in it, but he waited longer than he should to speak out about it and he never forcefully squashed the ugly stuff said about her. She made mistakes, but she put herself out as a target trying to help him. She didn’t deserve to be trashed that way or to be blamed for the team not winning. There were a lot of reasons they didn’t win and most of them have nothing to do with either Sen. McCain or Gov. Palin.
If he kept quiet when she was trashed then I think he should also stay quiet when she’s rather mildly telling her side of the story.
Jill1066 on November 19, 2009 at 6:16 PM
Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace have no class and that resonated around McCain’s pathetic excuse for a campaign and doomed him to failure. His lapdog, Lindsey Grahamnesty was caught on video as he addressed La Raza, that those who were against amnesty as racists and bigots. He should never be elected for public office again. McCain is well known as a RINO under the guise of being a “maverick”. The GOP has some real problems in their hierarchy.

grave shift.
dipshit.
eh on November 19, 2009 at 7:34 PM

So go away, finally, you weak-willed, pandering loser.
And take you crabby coterie with you, loser.

Boy, is this one set of advice she shouldn’t follow and I’m sure she won’t as she marches to the beat of her own drum. Besides it’s unlikely she will ever get your support unless she loses her mind to become a RINO and even worse a liberal.
Ironic that those of you that dislike Palin have so much ‘free’ advice for her and her fellow conservatives.

Making a living as a campaign consultant should be illegal. They’re all scum.

Is it alright to start hating McCain again?

I’m already there. He had his chance; look how well that worked out. Now he (and his staff!!) need to sit down and shut up.

McCain was in combat and prison…Gee, I don’t think I’ve heard that before…Whoever said that you shouldn’t let the first thing on your resume’ become the last thing on your resume was right…Get over it John. This so-called leader of the GOP has been all but invisible since he was soundly beaten by the anti-American communists sympathizer from Chi-town…It’s time for him to fade away to one of the dozens of houses he owns.
