McCain’s Bleak Week

We still love you, Nanny

Just in case you missed Larry King Live tonight; Fran Drescher did a nice job wiping the floor with Elizabeth Hasselbeck. While I wasn’t sure what the rehashing of Hasselbeck’s pathetic and teary performance (Emmy!!!) was going to bring to the show, the answer became clear when Drescher wondered out loud “whether this was how she fought with her husband.”

“Why were you crying?” she asked the blonde demon when that bad, bad woman phoned in to defend herself. Hasselbeck did not have an answer for that, but insisted we should all be nice and respectful. Yeah, okay; that’ll happen.

Then, sadly, Fran had to ruin it all by apologizing. Pity. Luckily she looked like she didn’t mean it.

 

The problems McCain is facing this week are simply unending; he’s apparently thrown up his hands in despair in the face of so much media bias. I wonder if there’s anybody in that campaign who has his or her head screwed on right, because, people, if you complain about the media, what do you think that media’s response will be? That’s right; they’ll come at you twice as hard. Not that they have to try very hard, with a political candidate who can’t understand that the border between Iraq and Pakistan is called “Iran”, and who thinks that the NY Times will publish just anything.

I guess McCain’s circle is getting smaller these days. Maybe he’ll finally stop saying My Friends when he delivers those boring speeches. Now that would make me happy.

 

And Anderson Cooper, next time you say silly things like “We’re not interested in the sniping between the candidates”, speak for yourself. The sniping is the only reason we’re still watching; how else will we make it until November? McCain’s speeches may be sleep inducing, but his whining is very, very entertaining.
