but at least i'm sure he knows what the bush doctrine is.

~THE LADIES OF THE VIEW~ would like to bring you Senator John McCain's toughest interview yet:

If you want the abridged version, skip to 2:00, where he is asked to defend Palin's position on the ticket (at 3:00 he's asked to defend her stance on "change", AND IT IS GLORIOUS) and 6:20, where he is asked to defend his attack ads. If you want the extended version, part 2 is here.

YOU GUYS, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO LOL OR CRY, BECAUSE:
1) JOHN MCCAIN JUST GOT GRILLED (AND OWNED) BY BARBARA WALTERS (LOLOLOLOLOL)
2) The ladies of the View are the first ones to call him on his shit and ask him to explain it. AMERICAN JOURNALISM AT IT'S BEST, FOLKS.

I sincerely do not understand how anyone could want this man to be our President. What on earth was he talking about? The debate is going to be glorious. I cannot wait.

The end goal of every Barbara Walters interview is TEARS. McCain has now learned his lesson.

I...Am speechless. Between this and the Palin interview, I just...Don't know what to say.

(LOL EXCEPT CLEARLY I DO:)

WE NEED TO EXPOSE THESE FOOLS FOR THE LYING S.O.B.S THEY ARE. I'M SORRY BUT THIS STRETCH IN THE ELECTION IS MAKING ME FUCKING ANGRY AND I FEEL SO POWERLESS AGAINST IT. I was supposed to go canvassing tomorrow but it didn't work out, so I'm going to have to postpone. I'm trying to figure out if I should do VA or PA. I'm thinking VA. GOD I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT JUST MAKES ME SO MAD. It's so fucking insidious. They're basically conceding to the fact that 95% of their base (and thus a large portion of the population) are DUMB AS FUCK and will believe whatever they tell them without questioning it or bothering to find out the truth. AND PEOPLE ARE BUYING INTO IT. PEOPLE ARE TAKING HIM FOR HIS WORD, A WORD THAT IS FULL OF LIES. JUST LIKE BUSH WAS FULL OF LIES.

AND THIS DUDE NEVER ANSWERS A SINGLE FUCKING QUESTION, WHAT IS THIS. And this DUMBFUCK LIPSTICK ON A PIG ISSUE-- if Sarah Palin is such a big strong woman maverick WHY DOES SHE NEED YOU TO DEFEND HER, JOHNNY BOY?

What a joke. I've lost my patience for this election and the people the Republicans are trying to reach. I've tried to be understanding of differences in demographics and forces beyond people's control, but when you choose to be a fucking drone and not use your mind and find the truth for yourself, I have no sympathy. Then it looks an awful lot like you're just voting for the white dude. OH AND BY THE WAY, the role they've put Palin in/she's accepted? IT'S DEMEANING TO WOMEN EVERYWHERE. If she were truly a champion of progress for women, she wouldn't be hiding behind her big strong man's campaign and she would be taking on the media and the public like she should. Instead she'd cowering and hiding and trying to be a fucking Trojan moose come the election and WE CAN'T LET IT HAPPEN.

I'M SO FUCKING ANGRY I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!

this is my new favorite thing, of all time.

I WOULD LIKE THE UNABRIDGED VERSION.
lol now I have to go find Joy on Larry King.

He totally interrupted Barbara to talk about his daughter wth.

Great person, great governor, most popular governor in america? Okay, I need to figure out how that popularity thing works. Do they base it on percentage of the population that likes her? Or what. Because if I am governor of a state of 3 people and they are all my bffs, that would put me at 100% and I'd be a better VP nominee because I doubt 100% of AK likes Sarah Palin. I trufax know that her sister's ex-husband hates her for sure.

"it's gotten people engaged and involved in the political process." *raises hand* me. TOO BAD IT'S EXACTLY *WHY* YOU ARE *NOT* GETTING MY VOTE.

"WHO EXACTLY IS SHE GOING TO REFORM". BARBARA ILU. oh oh nice try McCain. OH MY GOD BARBARA IS SCHOOLING HIM! I FUCKING WANT *HER* FOR VP!

4:18 LOL. he still isn't giving any specifics! "she sold the airplane, she fired the chef". LMAO LMAO AS IF THOSE ARE HUGE, ADMIRABLE THINGS.

"what is she going to do in washington".

I hate how he says "taken on" so much. As if he just needs to attack everything that moves.

LOL MISS CONGENIALITY. BEAUTY PAGEANT REFERENCE FTW, SARAH PALIN.

JOY! OMG! "you USED to be more of a maverick."

6:00 no one can name it? Jon Stewart did, I'll find it. He cut clips of McCain saying stuff from a few years back and then saying the exact opposite today. EDIT: found it. starts at 2:40. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u0sevdGsog)

yes, OMFG JOY BRINGING UP THE LIPSTICK PIG THING.

"actually they're not lies, " - oh my god I hate him so much. "and i've seen some of the ads that are against me". WAY TO PLAY VICTIM, AGAIN. I THINK IT IS RULE #1 ON THE "HOW TO BE A REPUBLICAN LIST - VICTIMIZE YOURSELF CONSTANTLY. #2. ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE."

"if you bring us Sarah Palin, we'll ask Barack Obama." OMFG OMFG OMFG YES.

LOLOL

BARBARA WALTERS IS A GLORIOUS GIFT FROM GOD.

And from that second video? Whoopi's like, "Do you believe in the separation of church and state?" and McCain's like, "Uh... sure." WOW. WOW. I THINK I JUST THREW UP A LITTLE. Like, seriously? Are you not sure? Haven't pondered the question? Didn't have time to think about it because you were a POW?

Also, go to 3:25 on part two... ELISABETH HASSELBECK, DENIIIIED.

By the way, I love you and everything you stand for, but there's no apostrophe in the third to last word of this entry. I CAN'T HELP IT, I NOTICE THINGS LIKE THIS.
