Coming Up: Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Sen. John McCain (R- Ariz.)

And McCain why he would have been worse than Obama for conservatives…

Wow, what an incredible coup for an interview! McCain has only been on TV three hundred or so times this year! I can’t wait to hear what he has to say now.

“You won’t want to miss this.”
Why?
McCain’s on every other week, and it’s the same navel-gazing group of DC insiders every time.
Missing this show would be like missing an infomercial. The same program will be on again and again and again and again…

Let me echo some of the other comments here — how many times can you have McCain on?
It’s like you committed to all these appearances during the 2008 campaign and never noticed that he actually didn’t win.
Are there any members of the Democratic Party — you know, the one that runs the White House, the House and the Senate — who might one day be persuaded to appear on your show? No?

Not to spoil your exclusive but I think I can give your viewers a preview of your show:
1. John McCain’s policy views are important. This is because he received an electoral drubbing and because his stated views on Afghanistan (for one) during the campaign were frequently contradictory.
2. McCain will be terribly CONCERNED that the President – the one who actually won the election – might abandon another military quagmire in which we have the opportunity to hemorrhage blood and treasure indefinitely. See: Russian Occupation, late 1980′s. To do otherwise is to lose “face,” which is far more important than actual human lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must therefore escalate.
3. McCain will offer advice to the President about how he should proceed, George will present a dilute alternative before concurring with McCain that any deviation from what the military pressures Obama to do is very CONCERNING.
4. The notion that McCain, a far-right minority-party senator currently involved in no major legislation or negotiations, is a Very Important Person to interview on national television.
Dude, what on Earth were you thinking? This is the 13th Sunday talk show McCain has done this year. Did you accidentally delete all your political contacts save one?

We knew what McCain’s stance on both of the wars was when he ran for president AND LOST. If he had won we would be spending twice as much as Bush on both Iraq and Afghanistan right now. Hello, McFly, you lost, now go away.
Gee George, I guess you are working directly for the extreme far right now? Starting to appear that you are pandering to them. I’m sure Fox has an opening for you over there. How ’bout you go check that out?
And yes, missing it will be like missing an infomercial.

George says:
“Then, an EXCLUSIVE interview with Republican Senator John McCain, who is leading the call to send more troops to Afghanistan.” Which, btw, no one could have predicted.
George also says, defending his McCain booking:
“McCain is the leading GOP voice on Afghanistan. We think it’s important for our viewers to hear that perspective…For a show focusing on Afghanistan, he is easily the right GOP guest. No apologies for inviting him.”
Because McCain has been involved in formulating Afghanistan policy? Because he was a POW in another pointless war the US withdrew from? Because he set foot in the country? Because he declared multiple contradictory Afghanistan policies? Nope. Because he invited your good friends to a staged BBQ at hos Arizona mansion. You are awesome, non-corporate-influenced-news-outlet. Way to look out for what the people want
Yay, news!!

You should be getting that Derelict of Duty president of ours on to ask why he is not doing what is needed to protect our troops! Another 5 troops were slaughtered today while we wait for our chief idiot to make up his mind on what he wants to do. Either get ALL of these boys out now, and admit you are defeated and a coward – or get the reinforcements in that the Generals need to be a success. There are no half-measures in war, just full body-bags when you pussyfoot around. The blood of these soliders is directly on OBAMA’s hands. They did not need to die. They died because Obama is not providing them the tools to do what they need to do. Heck – Obama even took the air cover away from the ground troops to make it more unsafe for them over there!
How about sending Biden’s kid to the front line over there? Then I imagine we would see a much faster decision coming out of these jerks on what to do.

Ask the Senatores:
I know it’s difficult to understand, but maybe it’s because education’s much to slow for most. All I hear is talk talk, talk and bicker, bicker, bicker and all the while more people are getting sicker.
Losing one’s health care and home is not our children’s fault as their put out on the streets. The ones saying they don’t want to pay for health care are paying more through social services. Look how much we could save in each State if we could educate all about our needs
I’m ashamed knowing how many people spend an hour each week in church claming to be Christians, and the rest of the week it’s:> (Me, me, me! I’m the one! I’m having the power! I’ve got it all!)
I’m wondering what happened to the;
1) Cloth the naked: 2) Feed the hungry: 3) Give to the homeless: 4) Heal the sick:
5) Comfort the dying:
We do the Christian thing, social services. One can’t get health care from Church congregations. And that claim of being civilized Christian people!

I love that Martha Radich put Bill Woodward in his place this morning during Afghanistan discussion on This Week wtih George. He said “I’ve spent years on this…” She said “SO HAVE I” – YOU GO GIRL.
