McCain To Make His 15th Appearance On A Sunday Show This Year
McCain To Make His 15th Appearance On A Sunday Show This Year
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has been booked for yet another Sunday talk show appearance this weekend — this time on CBS’ Face The Nation. Despite a “wildly unsuccessful presidential campaign” last year and his comparative irrelevancy in the U.S. Senate, this will mark the 15th time McCain has appeared on a Sunday talk show since January.
The Washington Monthly’s Steve Benen and Media Matters’ Jamison Foser have previously expressed confusion about McCain’s popularity on the Sunday show circuit:
Foser: “John McCain is not president, he chairs no Senate committees, he represents two percent of the U.S. population, he lacks a strong constituency even among his own party — a party that is pretty widely disliked and has taken a thumpin’ in two straight elections. He is not playing a central, or even peripheral role in the health care debate. And yet he’s on television all the time.”
Benen: “But it’s the Sunday shows’ obsession with McCain that continues to be so absurd. … McCain isn’t playing a role in any important negotiations; he hasn’t unveiled any significant pieces of legislation; he isn’t being targeted as a swing vote on any major bills; and he’s not a member of the GOP leadership. He’s just another far-right senator, with precious little to say that couldn’t have been predicted in advance. Indeed, we already know exactly what he’s going to say this week.”
Two weeks ago, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos justified booking McCain on This Week arguing that he “is the leading GOP voice on Afghanistan.” Yet McCain has consistently been off the mark when in comes to the war there. In fact, during McCain’s last Sunday appearance discussing Afghanistan, he dodged questions of the role the war in Iraq — a war he fervently supported and much of which he was also wrong about — in the deteriorating situation there.
Foser has noted that when Al Gore and John Kerry lost their presidential bids, “the media had a clear message for them: Get out of the way and let George W. Bush govern.” In fact, Kerry appeared on just three Sunday talk shows in the first eight months of President Bush’s second term.
It appears that the Beltway media are just still in love with their maverick pal John McCain.

Also, I agree, Eugene…Chomsky gets no love. I would think most Sunday hosts would be embarassed getting verbally demolished by an 80yr old
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:01 amSo the ‘voice’ of the Republican Party is either Limbaugh/Beck et. al., or John McCain, who was a handful of votes of being on the wrong side of a landslide… and we’re kowtowing to these guys??

My GOD you are stupid. No they dont. Half of the stupidest people on the planet like you CLEARLY are like to lie to yourselves a lot. That is still much less than half of the country. Do you even GET how stupid you are?
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 amObviously, not a math major. Or a college graduate. High school graduate would surprise. I wonder if he caught on that less than half the voting age population voted for him in the first place….
Also, I thought “true conservatives” HATED McCain.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:10 amI think it is because McCain is always in town and available. It’s easy and lazy to book him for these shows. He’s a predictable “voice of authority”.
He never goes back home for a weekend to be with his family. The man has no other life but the Senate and politics. Sad, when you think about it.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:11 am**YAWN**….him again?….I think that I’ll just sleep in.

So quit whining about the big bad dissent-squelching liberal media. McCain’s presence shows how big a lie that is.

October 23rd, 2009 at 10:21 amCould one of these reporters please ask Mr. McCain to unveil the knowledge of how to win the wars and kill Bin Ladin. He told us he knew how during the campaign. A true patriot would have volunteered the info by now.

Everybody loves a “Maverick”. After all, didn’t he introduce us all to the most “Mavericky” of all “Mavericks” Sarah Palin? She’s so “Mavericky” she quit being Governor of Alaska because she wasn’t a “Quiter”(?).

I don’t think Chomsky would even try to appear on a mainstream program after all these years. And other than Maddow, there isn’t anyone (ok, yes, Thom Hartmann) I’d trust to interview him because none of the usual crowd would know where to start.
Howard Zinn, maybe. He’s a very funny guy for one thing, and he hasn’t been demonized the way Chomsky has.

October 23rd, 2009 at 10:30 amIts amazing to me that the republicans still think that the tired, dazed, nonsense rantings of McCain that turned so many people away during the election, are somehow relevant now.
Ah well. I never did accuse the republican party of being smart. And here they go and prove I’m right everyday. Always puts a smile on my face.

This is why so many of us are now visiting sites such as ThinkProgress, HuffPo,

Leading voice?!?!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:04 amJohn McCain fought in one military conflict close to 50 years ago. He crashed what was it five planes? He spent most of his time in the Hanoi Hilton. He has never had a military leadership or strategic role. He is consistently panned in rankings given by veterans groups. He was wrong on Iraq, wrong on the import of Afghanistan and wrong when he sung about bombing Iran. He was wrong to embrace the neocons during his failed campaign for the Presidency. LEADING VOICE?!?!

Wow do you believe in fairy tales too? McCain was chosen to be the GOP’s sacrificial lamb, nothing more, nothing less. Romney, Giuliani and Huckabee all knew they couldn’t beat Obama, the GOP let Johnny have one last, unattainable shot. At best it was an experiment to see how the right would react to up and comer Sarah Palin, but it was obviously an experiment gone bad.
Nettles: “Wildly unsuccessful”? Please. Ask anyone, Repub or Dem, involved in politics how “wildly unsuccessful” it was.”
OK, let’s review. An politician the media has been in love with for decades, who is a war hero and one of the most popular personalities in the Republican party, a politician who has been hailed by the media over and over as The World’s Greatest War Hero!, was beaten soundly by the largest margin in 30 years by an African American Senator with very little experience on the National stage. Hey, if you want to call that “success” that’s your call.

Since he’s on television so often, I’m still waiting for anyone to ask him why he thought a person who couldn’t even fulfill her obligations as governor of a back-water state was prepared to step in and take over the job of Commander in Chief.

The military gossip has always been that he panicked, dropped his missiles mistakenly, and caused the deaths of over 30 crewman on an aircraft carrier during Nam. The only reason he got away with it was that his Father was an admiral.

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:39 amHold on a damn second, are you telling me McCain started the Forrestal disaster?! I had to learn about that in boot camp, and they wanted to make that jackass president?!
Nettles: “When I think of “wildly unsuccessfull”, I think of Al Gore not even being able to carry his home state.”
Sure you do. You all hang your sorry hats on that, don’t you? You all somehow think it’s strange that a committed environmentalist who had been fighting the coal industry for years slightly lost in a conservative, coal-producing state. And, to you, that’s one of the most important aspects of that election. Never mind that Al Gore won the national popular vote and would have won in Florida if all the votes had been counted. That’s really not important in your mind, is it?
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:42 amUSNclerk: “Hold on a damn second, are you telling me McCain started the Forrestal disaster?!”
I’m not sure he started it, but the story has been that he panicked and mistakenly hit the switch to drop live missiles on the deck. The missiles detonated and there was a huge fire. McCain jumped off the deck into the water and saved himself. Later, to the chagrin of most of the other men on board, he was helicoptered off the carrier to a safe location. He was the Admiral’s son.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:44 amAs soon as I knew McCain wouldn’t be called “Mr President,” I pretty much stopped caring what he did.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:44 amTo be fair, trying to find a Republican who is more competent to talk about foreign policy, or just about anything, is impossible. John McCain, shallow politician though he may be, is what passes for a deep thinker in the GOP these days.
What would be nice is if the morning shows would give up on celebrity guests for a while and instead concentrate on trying to score interviews with the people who are actually influential in deciding the fate of this country. That would be Democrats.

That story has been debunked, NinerFan. There was a malfunction in an F4 across the deck, which caused a rocket to fire. He was there, but he did not cause the Forestal disaster.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:49 amThe corporate media likes to reward failure……….

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:52 amThank you for the correction.
The reason why McCain is on so many news programs is because he did get millions of votes. More important, is that the networks are treating him as a statesman. McCain has not fulfilled the statesman role because he has taken so many partisan positions against Obama and he has no significant influence in the party. Try as they might, McCain will never be a statesman. He should be following the lead of Dole who is not following in lock step with the party. McCain could position himself for when the party is soundly trashed because it is so far right.

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:56 amNettles, the surge was far less successful than our buying off the various warlords and factions. Basically, we paid ‘protection’ money to the insurgents not to attack our troops.

That’s the official story. I’m not convinced that McCain’s culpability has been debunked. Does anyone have a citation for this that isn’t produced by the military? I’m still not convinced. He was, after all, a known screw-up and an Admiral’s son. He had already been the cause of a number of crashes at the time. That’s not disputed.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 pmNinerFan says:
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Just because McCain was a f uck up in the Navy, doesn’t mean he caused the Forestal disaster. McCain’s jet was angled in such a way that his tail end was aimed out to sea, so if it was possible to wet start his engine, the F4 where the rocket came from would have had to be hanging over the edge of the aircraft carrier.
I’m not looking for an argument, but this story has been debunked.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:10 pmI’m still looking for that citation, Zooey. It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I’ve got a personal background on this. I know one of the Forestal survivors since High School and he has always believed McCain screwed up and they covered it up. We were over there at the same time and when they quickly helicoptered McCain off the ship to an apartment in Saigon, my friend thought the fix was in.
Plus, I’ve always felt that McCain was one of the biggest phonies on the political stage. Nice guys don’t return from war and upon finding their faithful wife has been disfigured in an accident, start immediately looking for a younger wife so he can jettison the first one. The guy is a complete creep.

Why I would stand on the streets and talk to light poles, that would get peoples attention, some time I would talk to stop signs, now stop signs in those days were made of wood and they were real pretty, why I dated a stop sign once, she was a real tiger I tell you, and that stop sign was a good listener also, I would talk all day to it, but then they made these darn metal ones and they don’t listen so well, so now I go on Sunday Talk shows, cause they listen also, and I can talk about nothing all day long there also….uh, oh…I’ve left a sign in my diapers again.

Off the mark? Ya think? How about consistently off the mark on damn near everything? But, heck, give him another 15 rounds of Sunday Morning punditry and he’ll be ready to go double or nothing. Heck, he’ll be ready for the 2008 Presidential campaign just about the time Rupert “Murder” Murdock and Roger Ailes slap that new bumper sticker on his butt and kick him out the door of the party; “Sarah Palin 2012 – Pullin’ the Plug on America“.

did mccain ever hear of crest white strips?
In my most stern, Daryllian voice:
“There are no Crest White Strips — FOR THE SOUL!
His soul is as stained as his legacy.
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:04 pmHey,leave Mc Lame alone! He’s got some extremely important obstructin’ to do on Sunday. What with the whole health care thing and that Afghanistan thing along with that Iran thing and those poor CEO’s who now have to show something for their compensation thing and Dick Cheney …. Fox News…blah blah blah.I think they should give him the whole friggin hour.With a short nap break, of course.
October 23rd, 2009 at 3:10 pmIt’s just that Bob Scheiffer gets all tingly when Johnny boy is on the show. If Scheiffer could kiss McCain’s ring, he would.

October 23rd, 2009 at 6:06 pmKeep him in public view. That will remind us how fortunate we were that he and his dimwitted sidekick, Sarah “Drill Baby, Brill!” Palin were kept from power. The man is becoming senile – have you seen him speaking on the floor of the Senate recently?

There’s an article to be written here—or an occasional series of blog posts estetik. Who does the booking for the Sunday talk shows? How long have they had their jobs? How did they become the bookers estetik burun ameliyati? What do they look for in guests? Do bookers lose their jobs for booking the “wrong” guests gögüs büyütme? Why do they book the same few people repeatedly? When and how do they decide to book guests for a Sunday show estetik gögüs ameliyatlari? What kind of competition is there among bookers for guests? Do bookers “counterprogram” gögüs küçültme? Or, perhaps more importantly, why don’t bookers do more “counterprogramming” vajina daraltma? Why, with a new administration, hasn’t one of the Sunday shows started a regular, or occasional segment, of interviewing new and emerging powerful voices in Washington? I could go on, but you get the idea lazer epilasyon fiyatlari. And, of course, you do have a fulltime gig. Still, if you can’t do it, maybe you could pitch the idea to WM’s editors karin germe ameliyatlari? McCain’s continued presence bothers me somewhat, but he’s almost good TV plastik cerrahi. He is a comforting, familiar face for many in the audience — probably even more so for the older crowd karin estetigi. He’s lively, makes jokes, seems to be friends with the reporters. I think I understand the producer’s logic saç nakli. They just want you there to watch the ads, not to be informed or persuaded gögüs büyütme. Bear in mind that they’re not appeasing the wingnuts either by having McCain, since the far right wing hates his guts gögüs diklestirme. It’s TV logic, not politics. What is so different between McCain being on MtP for the one millionth time and seeing the same cast of characters I see on Countdown (for instance) gögüs küçültme? Both situations are the same: lazy program producers who would rather put on the same faces because they know they will perform as expected vajina daraltma ameliyati. (That’s why Olbermann is so happy to get Richard Wolffe back on the program. He is a good trained performer. gögüs estetigi)
