McCain Spanks Carney

Many conservatives hate Sen. John McCain, but, immigration issues aside, he’s always been someone I’ve kind of liked.

His first campaign stop after winning the 2008 Republican nomination,  may have been the Springfield (Pa) Country Club.  I went to write it up and take pictures. I was waved into the hall. Nobody bothered to ask for identification or check my briefcase.

I found a spot in the press section but McCain was too far away for my inexpensive digital camera so I imposed myself in the pool photographers section and and ended up maybe two feet from where the Senator was speaking.

I got some nasty comments from the pool photogs but again, nobody checked my ID, and no big guys hauled me out of there. I could have smacked McCain on his knee a dozen times.

Anyway, I always thought his attitude was gutsy and unpretentious and I didn’t feel bad about voting for him in the fall.

Which brings up the debate he had on CNN last night, Sept. 10, with former Obama press poodle Jay Carney after the President’s speech on dealing with the breakdown in Middle East.

McCain spanked Carney. He called him on the lies he was spewing and pointed out harshly how it was Obama himself that was responsible for the turmoil.

It was clearly something Carney was not used to. If the press did what McCain did last night the world would not be as dangerous today.

Of course, if McCain won in 2008 that would be just as true.

Here is the video. It’s kind of appropriate for Sept. 11.
