On Friday, John McCain stopped by to have a chat with the ladies on “The View.” (Going on “Oprah” would’ve just been awkward.) McCain even brought Cindy along, since it’s a show for the womenfolk and all, and God knows McCain doesn’t know the first thing about knitting.
This visit to the Barbara Walters House of Vapid was the perfect opportunity to see what windbags on the left (Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar) and the right (Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shephard) think of his campaign so far. Ladies, back him up here.
And the consensus? Apparently he shouldn’t lie so much.
While Gramps was going on and on about how awesome Sarah Palin is (why didn’t she get to come on the lady show, Mac?), he brought out the whole “reformer against pork and earmarks” thing again. But Walters had done her homework, noting that Palin had requested earmarks as governor of Alaska. McCain’s response? “No, not as governor she didn’t.” Except she did, but whatever. Let’s not interrupt Grandpa while he’s in the middle of one of his anecdotes.
Then there are those negative ads about Obama, which Behar asked him about by calling them “lies.” Your move, John: “Actually they are not lies.” Well, OK.
We must say, this new McCain tactic is great. We can’t wait until the debates, when Obama gets finished with a pitch for his economic plan or what to do about Iraq, and McCain’s rebuttal is all, “No.” So much more efficient!
Throughout the whole “View” sit-down, by the way, Hasselbeck didn’t say much, as she was too busy staring wide-eyed at Cindy and mouthing the words “Teach me.”
