Regarding whether or not McCain was privy to Obama's section of the interview with Warren....

[Adsos Letter]

I watched it last night, and something struck me as odd. I thought that, with the discussions going on regarding this subject, that I would throw this out there and see what you think (hopefully, I can be clear):

Here is a link to a segment of the interview, during McCain's expression of his definition of marriage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3977lhjMPLs&feature=related

At about the 4:33 mark, McCain asks if they can GET BACK to the issue of the importance of Supreme Court justices.

I don't recall Warren and McCain discussing the Supreme Court by that point, although Obama and Warren ALREADY HAD.

Is my tinfoil on too tight, or did I miss a previous interchange between McCain and Warren that involved Supreme Court justices?

1. No, it wasn't discussed before.

I checked the transcripts last night and someone also posted that on Daily Kos.

2. Thanks! I haven't been paying much attention to the threads...

but when I saw the issue appearing on the boards today, I remembered it and thought it was worth checking.

3. I thought it odd, too.

They didn't discuss it on camera, but a previous conversation obviously took place.

A feed to the limo would not be surprising. McCain't was too quick to answer some of the questions.

Warren clearly favored McCain't.

4. I watched on TV. Gagged through it but watched it ...and McCain tried to then cover

for his slip-up (by saying the previous question would naturally lead to the Supreme Court) when Warren blushed beet red and laughed because he (Warren) knew McCain had just busted them both.

Anyone watching knew then that McCain heard the questions already.

6. Warren: "YOU GOT ALL MY QUESTIONS, GOOD."

Sorry about the caps - this is straight out of the transcript, but with the people named rather than simply Q&A.

Warren: OKAY. WE DON’T HAVE TO GO LONGER ON THAT ONE. DEFINE MARRIAGE.

McCain: UNION — A UNION BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN, BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, THAT’S MY DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE.
ARE WE GOING TO GET BACK TO THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

Warren: WE’LL GET TO THAT.

McCain: ALL RIGHT. OKAY.

Warren: YOU GOT ALL MY QUESTIONS, GOOD.

McCain: WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE ISSUES OF THE RIGHTS OF THE UNBORN, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT JUDGES, BUT ANYWAY GO AHEAD.

7. Even clearer... I hadn't seen the transcript, only the video.

Thanks. :hi:

9. Caps not a problem. :)

Warren looked like the world's biggest beet at that moment. He knew he'd been busted... and that McCain did the busting.


Do you remember a while back when McCain talked about Petraeus in terms of a new job title - chief of U.S. Central Command? And people laughed that McCain didn't know what job Petraeus did? BUT...less than 10 days later Petraeus was given the exact same job McCain mentioned?

Because Bush Inc told McCain before it happened.

Because Bush Inc are telling McCain what they are planning on doing...

There's a thread on it here at the time it happened.

12. BINGO. As DUer Neshanic would say, "The Purpose-Driven Lie."

13. it looked like mccain was trying real hard to remember what his

definition of marriage was. either that or he forgot his hemorrhoid cream.

15. Bingo n/t

5. My apologies to everyone, and also the poster at Daily Kos...

I wasn't aware this had been addressed already. :blush:

[dkf]

8. It just shows that quite a few noticed the slip up.

There were a few too many suspicious things that happened. I'm seeing a whole lot of smoke...

10. I am wearing my Ignorance as if it were a badge.

That way, I can shout, scream, and invect with impunity.

But I can guarantee that the Old Guy is an Asshole.

14. Warren told both of them that the Supreme Court would be a topic of discussion

so let's not start the parade just quite yet.
