"smart"?



Not very.....

MEM, In an interview with Newsweek, John McCain tries to back away from his recent criticism of the media on behalf of Hilary Clinton:

 Quote:
Q: Want to back up a little bit and talk about press coverage. One of the things that you mentioned in your speech in New Orleans was that you felt that the media hadn't recognized or had overlooked some of the attributes that Hillary Clinton had brought to the race. And I wondered—

MCCAIN: I did not [say that]—that was in prepared remarks, and I did not [say it]—I'm not in the business of commenting on the press and their coverage or not coverage...I can't change any of the coverage that I know of except to just campaign as hard as I can and try to seek the approval of the majority of my fellow citizens.

It is something that the American people will judge, and I won't complain about it and I won't praise it. I will just run my campaign and hope that the American people will make a judgment.


The problem is, he did say it:

 Quote:
Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes receives.


Oh, he'll complain about it. Then he'll just lie about it. The question is, will MEM notice? The initial comment was of course designed to try to siphon Hillary supporters like MEM who are bitter and believe the old Hillary talking points about the biased media and the misogyny. Then McCain sort of did an about face and lied he ever said such a thing.

Ah the dread YouTube. Scourge of bald faced lies.

Here's the video:



Y'know, MEM, if you're so hurt and angry about Hilary not getting her way that you now want to rally around McCain, oh well. I'm sure the gOP will be a great place for you and gay rights, health care, the economy, Iraq etc. etc.

It is so what Hillary's platform was all about and

Children do this kind of stuff. Adults go on with their lives and get over it. Had it been the other way around, I would have enthusiastically supported Clinton, despite her many flaws and character issues. Because it beats 4 more years. And i've consistently said as much.
