CNN just announced

[AkFemDem]

John McCain has pulled his Larry King interview slot for tonight because he didn't like it when CNN asked one of his campaign guys last night to name something Palin ever did as commander of the Alaska national guard... lol!

[JFN1]

1. Ha!

Good thing McCain was in the Navy - he's been drilled on sinking ships...

[me b zola]

62. General Quarters!

:rofl:

[grannie4peace]

2. put some dems on there

[AndyA]

3. Seems McSame just doesn't have the TEMPERAMENT for President.

Taking your toys and going home in a huff isn't very "presidential."

:rofl:

[NotThisTime]

64. Amen!! McCain=Implosion

[greyghost]

66. He spoiled brat, just like W.

[MindMatter]

76. it isn't retribution. He just can't think of any good answer to the question.

[endarkenment]

4. Full collapse. nt.

[book_worm]

5. yet it was okay to attack Obama on his experience? This guy is really nuts.

[im1013]

6. Go Campbell Brown!!

:kick:

[The Stranger]

13. God, all of the sudden I fucking LOVE CAMPBELL BROWN!

Love her love her love her!

[Thrill]

7. This is how they get the media to whore for them

[liberalmuse]

8. McMeltdown!!!

Strap on your seat belts. It's happening, folks.

[LSK]

9. oh really:????????

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Renew Deal]

10. They don't want him talking.

That's why he is in hiding.

[Cush]

11. wimp

[Disturbed]

35. None of the RWing talkin' AssClowns would answer this question:

Is Gov. Palin the most qualified female VP pick that could be found?

They all evade that question by replying something else.

[renate]

12. seriously?

That can't possibly be the reason they gave. (Although I'm hoping and praying that it is.) Did they give any reason at all?

[redqueen]

14. No, he pulled it cause he doesn't want to have to defend Palin for 3/4 of the interview. (nt)

[BigAnth]

43. Exactly

[jefferson_dem]

LOL!

They are done. Finis!

[pdxmom]

15. I love the smell of desperation in the afternoon. Now he's going to punish

the media for doing their job.

And won't put his own candidate out there to face them herself.

[bushisanidiot]

16. McCondo's gonna take his ball and go home!

hahaha!

[NatBurner]

75. beat me to it lol

can't you just see him stomping away with his lil red kickball under his arm?

[grantcart]

17. he bugged out last night on Cooper 360

[im1013]

36. Really? I missed it!

:(

[grantcart]

48. several people noticed it and it also looked like CNN was dissing surrogates

they were only interested in talking with McCain

[CakeGrrl]

49. Here's a YouTube link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxMCp1vydEI

EDIT: Sorry, this is to the Campbell Brown questioning, not the McCain meltdown...

[mzmolly]

18. The victim card.

I expect a crocodile tear or two and feigned outrage at the Republican Convention as well.

[K8-EEE]

19. waaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE IT!

[jenmito]

20. Tucker Bounds? Yeah-the DU was praising Campbell Brown for that interview

last night! If McCain can't stand up to Larry King, how can he stand up to Ahmadinejad?! :rofl:

[Matariki]

30. Well, if he's president, he'll just bomb somebody. Anybody will do.

[jenmito]

38. Good point. He's not going to HAVE to stand up to anyone. He'll just bomb 'em.

[anigbrowl]

57. Yeah, that was pretty hilarious.

Myself and Mrs Browl were splitting our sides. Tucker Bounds might as well have started with 'la la la I can't hear you!'

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. Calamity Jane rides again!

[mvd]

22. Shouldn't he be having Democrats anyway?

He had Repukes on every day after our convention.

[central scrutinizer]

23. Glad the adults are in charge

Is there anything sadder than a 72 year old throwing a hissy fit?

[Matariki]

24. Yeah. Piss off the media. Good strategy.

they must think they're golden.

[im1013]

And CNN is so upset...they playing it again!!!

:popcorn:

[eShirl]

56. bwahahaha

beautiful response!

[CakeGrrl]

25. Chickenshit McCain. Send some support to Campbell Brown for not backing down. n/t

[Orsino]

26. If he can't stand up to Larry King, is he ready to face al-Qaeda? n/t

[Wetzelbill]

52. LOL

Right on! :headbang:

[endthewar]

27. CNN replayed the interview for viewers to decide

and said that they didn't think Campbell Brown crossed the line. Great for CNN! Fight back against McCain's attempts to control the media.

[Heather MC]

28. That Chicken Shit hasn't done an interview since 08-13

Besides his planned idiotic photo ops

How can we elect someone who is afraid of the media. PUSSY

[trashcanistanista]

29. Holy Shit!

They are going to air parts of Biden's speech on the Palin question that was on CSPAN today! I saw the whole thing and posted about it earlier, it was great!

[H2O Man]

31. Yep.

There is a growing number of mini-conflicts between the McCain campaign and the media. This is one that other journalists will take note of. Larry King is generally considered one of the nice guys among journalists, hardly likely to cause a fist fight with McCain. But the Senator's temper is out of control now.

[JBoy]

32. Hope his mom got a chance to give him some advice -->

[BeyondGeography]

33. Prisoner of Waaaaaaaaa

:cry:

[renate]

41. that is TOO good!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[JaneQPublic]

65. Definitely a DUzy! (nt)

[Yavin4]

34. McCain Is Too Hip To Be On With That Old Guy

McCain is 72.

Larry is 75.

[Bigleaf]

37. Well, if any of you watched the CNN special the other day on McCain you would not be surprised.

I belive there was one journalist who he would not speak to for a decade or so who had crossed him. The guy is a fucking certified lunatic.

[greyghost]

70. Amen. The man is a head case and has no business being in his

current position much less POTUS.

[JBoy]

39. If he can't face CNN, how's he going to face Al Qaeda? nt

[BlueIdaho]

40. Judgment? Temperament? Not. So. Much. nt.

[habitual]

42. He can't learn all the new lies fast enough!! they have to

make sure he doesn't fuck things up even more, so they have to keep him off a show where he will be drilled for a long time.

hahahaha

This implosion is extraordinary.

[demo dutch]

44. McCain's campaign is unraveling quickly!

[DeschutesRiver]

45. wow

guess we don't get to question her war record anymore than his POW war record, either. He is reminding me more and more of a tinpot dictator. Like Kim Jong of North Korea, except he hasn't killed or imprisoned any of his opposition.

To my knowledge.

[nc4bo]

46. oh snapz. This is some whacked mess right here. nt

[Wetzelbill]

47. He's a child

[FatDave]

84. Wait...I thought children were off limits.

:shrug:

[Wetzelbill]

85. not when they're 72 years old nt

[eShirl]

50. WAAAAHH!!1

It really is time for a CHANGE...

[ErinBerin84]

51. what a loser.

Disturbing trend in treatment towards the media by the McCain campaign...come on, Media! Use this as an opportunity to get back at him and actually do you job.

[quantass]

53. UNFAIR: Larry had ONLY Repubs last week and now this week it is Half-repubs/Half Dem...

last week he only had a panel of repubs to comment (err, ABUSE) the dem convention..this week with the repuke convention he now has half repubs and half demcrats....i smell Sleeze!

[seabeyond]

54. larry king inst suppose to have any repugs this week. supposer to be ALL dems

he isnt doing very well. how repugs last night. now supposedly mccain tonight. fuck him

[quantass]

59. Agreed...Just more proof the MSM needs to elect repubs

[tridim]

79. Last night he said tonight would be all Dems

We'll see if he keeps his word.

[seabeyond]

80. ya? and then he says he has a mccain interview that isnt going ot be. he better keep his

word. last week made me sick

[frazzled]

55. Bawk, bawk, bawk!

Bawk.

[calimary]

58. Welcome to DU! From Alaska, 'eh?

How do things look from your end?

I just switched over to CNN - he doesn't like questionable questions? How 'bout when his whole schtick - from his fitness to lead to his judgment - is questionable in the EXTREME (so to speak!)?

Frankly, john mcsame, if YOU can't stand the heat, YOU should get out of the kitchen.

[Hugabear]

60. She single-handedly fought off the Russians who were trying to capture Dutch Harbor

And there are unconfirmed reports that she may have been taken POW by those damned dirty Russkies...

[janet118]

61. Look!!! Here comes the "No Talk Express"!!!!

Stay away from the window, John!!! It's the media.

[Chloroplast]

63. Keep burning bridges McCain. That's surefire way to get a fire lit under your ass.

[washingdem]

67. Is this true?

[BurtWorm]

68. He may be a great American who served bravely

but he's a little wienie.

[mnhtnbb]

69. Yeah! McCain can take the heat! Retreat from Larry King.

:rofl:

[vegansrule]

71. Too bad Palin's daughter's boyfriend didn't "Pull Out" N/T

[MindMatter]

72. it isn't retribution. He just can't think of any good answer to the question.

[proud2BlibKansan]

73. I just watched that interview

I can't stand that woman but she was asking a fair question and the GOP guy refused to answer. She wasn't the least bit nasty or disrespectful.

[Born_A_Truman]

74. He should go on Countdown!

Where's his COURAGE?

[greyghost]

77. The Rethugs barred Keith from covering their convention! WA!

[Cha]

78. But, is this the whole reason? Is there another

reason john mccain wants to stay hidden and not answer even soft balls from larry king?s Because if this is the only reason then who ever advised him to do this doesn't know anything about hard ball and what it takes to be CIC. It makes out john mccain to be a wuss of the first order.

[demo dutch]

81. So when things get tough, McCain hides???? he cuts and runs???

[samsingh]

82. is this true or a joke?

[AuntPatsy]

83. Does it make sense now why the gop controlled the media for so long?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

86. He's obviously not ready to face the music about his pick himself

and is probably no better prepared than anyone else to answer questions about her.

Every question:
Did you know that Sarah Palin (fill in the blank)



Every answer
blink, blink, I'lll have to have my staff get back to you on that.

[Juan_de_la_Dem]

87. In all Seriousness, I was a POW for 5 1/2 years - No Interview for you

[WinkyDink]

88. Hey, kids! Get away from my strawberries!

[D23MIURG23]

89. Thats a bad sign.

You can't hide from the forever. Even if you are cheney.

[Dem2theMax]

90. If John McSame can't handle the softballs that Larry King throws,

what the hell is he doing running for President of the United States? :crazy:

[tblue37]

91. When bullies are questioned about their bad behavior, they always

accuse the questioner of being unfair or irrational. Typial Republican behavior.
