Why does the media like this man? Is it because he left his first wife for a younger, richer woman after getting released as a prisoner of war? Is it because he helped create the Saving and Loans collapse in the 1980′s? Is it because he told a funny joke about Chelsea Clinton when she was a teenager? Is it because he suggested the surge for the illegal Iraq War? Or is it because he ‘suspended’ his campaign in order to ‘fix the economy’?
The reason I ask is because I need to know why John McCain is on TV every goddamn Sunday. And it can’t be for his knowledge on the issues, because this man is a fucking idiot. Case in point, he was on yesterday’s Meet The Press talking about how we don’t need to withdraw from Afghanistan because we need to “break the enemy’s will” and “win”.(At least that’s what I think he said. I was having a hard time understanding him over David Gregory’s loud slurping noises.) Of course he doesn’t tell us how to break the enemy’s will or how to win, because David Gregory sucks at his job and didn’t ask any follow up questions.
Now I know I shouldn’t be surprised by what comes out of John McCain’s mouth. I mean, this is the man that talked up Sarah Palin as his vice-president and Phil Gramm as his financial advisor. But I am surprised by how many times he’s been on the Sunday news circuit after he lost the presidency.
I guess he’s just the Beltway’s Clay Aiken. Which makes Obama the Beltway’s Ruben Studdard. Which makes Dick Cheney the Beltway’s Simon Cowell.
Which makes me want to kill myself.
