Why is McCain getting this block of time on CNN this morning?
So I get up and the 'mate has CNN on, and they're giving like 15 minutes solid dedicated to John McCain. Asking him his opinion on what the Obama administration has done so far, asking him what he thinks about issues from soup to nuts that Obama is dealing with, like McCain's some kind of friggin' GURU -

I don't remember them having Al Gore or John Kerry on after Shrubby was in office 200 days asking THEM about their opinions of what was going on so far. I know I should consider the source (and turn it off)... I just wondered if anyone else noticed this morning.

1. Because Republicans get unfettered access to cable airwaves
no matter how few people in the country count themselves as GOpers? I've had this same frustration watching MSNBC too: they'll interview a Republican in a skinny minute but won't bother to have a Democrat on for "balance". That's the way they all work.

5. I guess we can be thankful they're
not having Bush on and asking him what he thinks. Then again, maybe America needs to be reminded...

6. Other than the fact that our guys are being ignored this is good. Mc
Insane just serves to remind us of how lucky we were to escape his clutches in 2008.
