Oh the irony! "The View picked our bones clean"
Cindy McCain lashes out at the media, including McSame's treatment on last Friday's "The View". I guess the McCains thought the twit, Elisabeth, was going to guarantee an ice cream social for them.

10. A little bitter, Cindy? And they didn't even ask about your drug addiction or stealing ...
that disabled wife's husband. Or smugly calling yourself an 'only child' as you happily kept $100 million and let your older sister have 10K, pretending she doesn't even exist.

Life's tough, isn't it sweetcakes?

11. The funny thing is
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 10:04 PM by davidpdx
that the interview wasn't that bad, so I have no idea why they would complain (other then just to complain). I didn't see the third part when Cindy McCain came on. Maybe it got worse after that.

37. that's exactly right
In all reality it was a pretty soft interview, no follow up questions and no real pressing of points. If they can't handle that how will they handle a real interview with a real journalist. I did like Barbara's body language after the first commercial break. She was mightily pissed off with him.



Peace

12. I'm starting to think the Repug ticket have forgotten they are running for political office
The BIGGEST political office, wait not an office at all, but a big White House. I think Cindy is too used to having servants to boss about so when they're called on shit, she just wants to fire them and hire someone else.

They obviously weren't aware that except for that bootlicker Hasselback, the other women on The View actually use the brains they were given as something other than a hair-holder.

15. Well, they "have been picked to the bones"
I guess they didn't want us to start feeding off the bone marrow.

22. Did you really believe in that whole 1st Amend. free speech thingy?
I took 2 semesters of Constitutional Law in law school. So I'm figuring, 90 hours of time in class (15 weeks per semester, 3 hours per week) with at least another hour of reading for each class...that's approx. 180 hours of my life wasted and I'll never get back.

28. Oh, that stuff is never wasted
If Palin becomes president then you can become an Itinerant Constitution Cobbler by the side of the road in any major city.. until she discovers you, then it's off to the Liberal camps with the rest of us..

Actually, if Obama gets in the White House, they may need LOTS of Constitutional Law folks to FIX IT, eh?

Didn't take the Supreme court to tell me that MONEY = Free Speech.. found that out on my own.. we were victims of a SLAPP suit by Michael Savage's people, and a lawyer that was a sister of a DU'r here saved our bacon!

17. You'd think a POW could handle a little interrogation...
...guess maybe the experience didn't make him as calm under fire as his campaign has suggested.

27. Cindy McCain was a condescending _____ (rhymes with twitch).
And McCain was the usual ass that he always is. They got what they deserved.

30. I recorded Cindy McCain appearance on The View a few months ago.
so that I would have video evidence of her statements in case I needed it later. I did the same with both Barack and Michele's appearances, as well as John McCain's.

The cast of the show was very nice and cordial to Cindy, even Whoopi and Joy Behar. They didn't rip into her since she wasn't a candidate, but talked woman-to-woman about family and such.

I guess that treatment is what possibly caused Cindy to tell John that going on the show was a good idea, thinking he'd be treated with the same kid gloves.

No such luck.

When Michele Obama was on The View, they were also very nice and cordial with her (even Elizabeth Hasselbeck). They joked about the "fist bump" and talked about her life, how she met Barack, the kids, etc.

However, when Barack was on the show, they talked a lot about policies and such, and focused on issues important to women, since women make up the vast majority of their viewing audience. Health care, the war, education, taxes, helping young married couples, etc.

I guess they should have reviewed Barack's appearance on The View to gauge what John McCain would have been facing himself by going on the show.

33. Hasselbitch went on Hannity that same night
and was so snide about Michelle.I watched because I wanted to see what she would say.
She had this chimp smirk on her face the whole time. No class!

31. But wait, Cindy - your husband said this was a "tough business",
when he was asked about his running mate's extremely bitter attacks on Obama's record of community service!

32. That imagery is sexist! /faux outrage
But seriously, it's implying that the women on the view were harpies or vultures for even asking what EVERYONE wants to know.

Cry me a fucking river!

34. Oh please. They didn't call him a LIAR on his "Palin never took
earmarks as a GOV," and his b.s excuse that he was playing dirty politics b/c Obama would not do town halls with him.

36. The twit promised them that it would be a love fest since she
punks them out everyday over talking everybody and crying if she can't get her point across. She needs to be on Fux news daily instead of the view. She's horrible! Sherri is clueless as hell, and Joy is okay. Whoopie kisses the twits ass too as far as I'm concerned.

The Crypt Keeper pic was perfect! Wish I could get into her stash...I have a rough week coming up.
