Poor John McCain... the media wants us to understand something about him...

[Coexist]

Starting about 7 minutes in, the esteemed Hardball panel explains to us that John McCain just isn't told much about what is going on by his staff, and if he had the ability to fully understand his campaign, he wouldn't like it because he's too 'honorable'. He didn't know that his commercials were lying... he was too far into the tapioca.

The poor coddled, senile old coot - let's elect him President.

Please, shoot me now.

1. Stunning. He's being "handled" for his own good? Sounds like bush is back.

[me b zola]

8. Precisely

Haven't we been through this before?

[Coexist]

12. yup.

[Bill219]

2. And this is spun as a reason to vote for McGhoul

We are supposed to believe that a man that has no idea what is going on in his campaign will make a good president

WTF!!!!!

[Coexist]

13. somehow... yes.

it makes you want to cry doesn't it.

[FrenchieCat]

3. This is hard to believe!

They make excuses up for him with absolutely no attribution, with no one asking them to, then go on acting like this man could be voted in charge of the presidency and the big red button? Get out of here! :wow:

They must have gotten word that McCain's ads were backfiring big time....because all I saw was them offering him cover. These whores are the shits! disgusting. :(

4. bang bang your shot

5. I was dozing on and off when I heard that, and thought I might be hallucinating or something.

this is exactly along the lines of "McCain does't seak for the campaign."

if that's the case, all he's become is a PAWN of his handlers, who are mostly all Rove clones of the worst sort

have you seen what that creep Schmidt looks like?

a fat Jeff Gannon and Michael Smerconish

6. great

so he's an incompetent dumbshit who lacks control of his own camp, and he wants to be pres? shit.

[HEyHEY]

7. I didn't seem to get it

My vid that your link put me to was only five minutes long.

11. the little green numbers...

just under and to the right of the video

9. They are literally saying that John McCain's campaign is LYING to him. Oy. n/t

[chieftain]

10. Up is down, peace is war and McCain is too honorable to

be running the scurrilous campaign that he is running.The news media has a gigantic case of cognitive dissonance. They cannot make what they see with their own eyes comport with what they thought they knew about St. John. So they concoct harmonizing theories that will not cause them to rethink their earlier perceptions. This is one dysfunctional press corps and the consequences for the country may well be devastating.

14. "I'm John McCain, and I approve this message."

Well, if that isn't "giving the thumbs up", what is?

[Coexist]

15. he's too busy to pay attention to what's being done in his name??

if that doesn't inspire confidence in you, nothing will!

[nc4bo]

16. I watched that too and was flabbergasted.

How in the world does a presidential candidate not know what his staff is doing? What in the world is going on deep inside the McSame camp? Who or what is really in control there?

Scary and maybe a huge clue.

17. its pretty pathetic that the press cares about protecting him instead of the country

[eppur_se_muova]

18. They're trying to make him look Reaganesque. nt
