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.

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.

I think it's hilarious -- and kind of sad? -- that every "great" thing they're pointing out about her pathetic political history is a flat-out, blatant lie. I mean, you have to expect exaggeration from any politician, but they're seriously contradicting the truth with this selling-the-airplane-on-eBay, stopping-the-bridge-to-nowhere, champion-against-porkbarrel spending shit. The woman has done nothing. The fact that she's even allowed to be in this position just... pisses me off.

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

Oh, bless the Daily show.

"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".
You know, attack ads are par the course in a national election-- and in the beginning they were okay, but the McCain campaign has shot over this line with this Barack Obama wants to teach your kindergarteners about sex shit and this "lipstick on a pig" issue. You know? At least during the Olympics, when they were attacking Obama's lack of experience, that shit was true, if exaggerated. It's the lying that gets to me? STAY KLASSY, MCCAIN.
