"The Village Media And John McCain"

Not our favorite source, but a good read.

http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2014/03/06/the-village-media-and-john-mccain/

"The buffoon from Arizona is one of the most frequent guests on cable news and on the Sunday morning talk shows. He was dead wrong about Iraq, Afghanistan and has never copped to it, clinging to his fantasy that his beloved “surge” made it all worthwhile. It didn’t, as the resilient sectarian warfare in that benighted country demonstrates day after day. He caved to Karl Rove on the torture question in 2006, leaving the CIA program in place. He picked a delusional maniac to be a vice-presidential candidate after close to no vetting whatsoever. He was jumping up and down trying to foment a war with Russia over Georgia in 2008. This week, he was dyspeptically assaulting the president of the United States at a time when, one might imagine, wise souls in Washington might see the benefit in a temporary united front vis-a-vis Putin. He is determined to sabotage any deal with Iran, which would necessitate another war in the Middle East, a war for which there is close to no public support, and which could have incalculable consequences in the region and the world."

John The Jackal McCain was one of two top guests on the Sunday shows.

John McCain chose a screw ball, a survivalist, a separatist, a promoter of "stochastic terrorism" against liberals/minorities as his running mate. It is beyond the time where McCain needed to retire.

Also, the latest PPP poll shows all sides turning against the insane Maverick.
Democrats are strongly against him and they will NOT be coming back into the fold.

From a previous post - I do believe the old horse should be let out to pasture to eat his bag of oats, bump into trees and talk to the scarecrow for hours on end. He has truly lost his "feckless" mind.

Magoo is a real piece of work and the fawning corporate media just can't seem to get enough of this fool. And, he is never held accountable or called to task for his endless errors, misjudgments, and misdeeds.

He went to Libya to push for the never-ending sale of C-130's with his boyfriends, was pallin' around with more crooks and terrorists in Syria, and was wined and dined by Svoboda apparatchiks in the Ukraine. Poor old Magoo, he is a befuddled war monger whose ultimate legacy will be the unleashing of Caribou Barbie on the unsuspecting population. She's like a bad toe fungus that refuses to go away. Enough of this dipstick!
