Nearly a year after the presidential race came to an end, it's a subject Arizona Sen. John McCain still can't avoid: Sarah Palin.
Appearing on the Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien Wednesday, the former presidential candidate was asked, as he has been several times before, whether he was shocked Palin chose to resign her post as governor of Alaska two months ago.
"Yeah I was because she didn't call me ahead of time," McCain said to laughter in the audience. "We all have families, we all have challenges, we all have issues in our lives. She did have huge legal debts because of these [ethics] charges."

I suppose it would be rude to suggest that McCrazy join his friend Teddy for drinks?
If only Juan McCain would follow Gov. Palin’s lead.
McWuss has the need to be loved
The article doesn’t support the editorial “makes fun of Palin” remark. Was there something in the appearance not reported in the story that should be discussed?
I’m extremely sensitive to attacks on Palin and I didn’t sense any bit of that here.
It was a small joke and it was not in anyway meant to harm or disparage Palin from what I can see.
McCain is a clown.
I think he was making more fun of himself, that Palin did not consult him. The worst part of McCain’s performance was his suggesting that he might support Obama’s health care reform.
No you worthless waste of skin. The disappointment we display is over an out of control government and a lawless CONgress (including YOU)!!
"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
-- President Ronald Reagan
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
Amazing in the same interview McCain thinks the reason people are upset about the healthcare bill is because the Rep. aren’t working more with the Dems?????
He also is “looking forward” to what Obama will have to say in his address next week? OMG! This guy is completely clueless and out of touch!
Worse. He’s an assclown.
I agree.
Agreed.
Foolish old man
John McCain would have been a horrible president and I think he would have damaged the conservative movement, whereever it is for years.
And you wonder why people hate politicians
I watched it and had no problem with anything he said. It was clear that he meant the so-called ethics charges against her were frivolous. He said “she had these charges they kept throwing over the fence at her.” I don’t think he made fun of her in anyway, shape, or form. McCain handled himself well in the face of some uncharacteristically tough but fair questions from Conan. He superbly turned a question Conan asked about whether or not death panels actually existed in the bills back on the interviewer by pointing out that what Obama had said, that all americans would be able to keep their current health insurance under his plan, pointing out that even the CBO said private insurers would go out of business under the Obama plan. In short, another great appearance that effectively communicated the republican message and showed how the democrats were cutting half the country out of the healthcare debate.
AWESOME Gipper quotes!
.....and this is worth posting because....?

The GOP is doing better in the polls precisely BECAUSE they are rejecting the Democrat plan to take over 14% of the GDP.
Indeed. It is sad to see a man with such a heroic and honorable background fall to such disgrace in his latter years.
I both honor him and pity him.
I saw McCain in a ‘real town hall’ and you get the feeling that up front and personal, these congressional clunkers just don’t make the cut.
Stupid is as stupid does. Now STFU McCain!

This just goes to show McLame is still completely out of touch to what grass roots Republicans are saying.
He’s still chasing the carrot media dangles in front of him.
The good folks in Arizona can put a stop to McCain in his next election. It’s as simple as that.
McCain/Kerry F the POWS/MIAS
McCain/Feingold F free speech
McCain/Kennedy F American Sovereignty
McCain/Gang of 14
McCain/Keating 5
McCain/Terrorist Bill of Rights
McCain/Gun Grabber
McCain/Does not like tax cuts
More?

McCain/Buttboy for the MSM/democrat party!
There we go direct from the DNC’s man McQueeg Lets see Health care, Cap and Trade then Immigration we all know where this Idiot stands the thing I resent most is this Zombie being foisted on us and Sabotaging the Champlain we need to rid ourselves of all responsible for this nightmare.
Careful McCain, your jealously slip is showing.
I hate to tell you this but you lost the election John.
Now give me the keys and I'll drive you back to the old senators home.
Pathetic.
McManiac’s career needs euthanized. NOW.
Second, he's looking forward to hearing what Obama proposes because he's giving Obama just enough rope to hang himself. If there's no public option the left is going to flip out, if there is one, it's DOA.
As doubtless all know by now, I am not in the Sarah rah-rah corner.
However, McStupid really, really, really needs to shut the you-know-very-well-what up on this. He approved Mrs. Palin for his ticket, how can he now bash her? Doesn't that reflect poorly on his ability to select a veep?
What manner of fools advise these people? (As I asked so many times during the campaign)
If they (I include Mrs. Palin) do receive competent advice and assistance, why do they continually ignore it?
In all candor, at this particular time, I am heartily sick of the circus that Republicans have let themselves become.
He’s an idiot plain and simple. Other than a war hero he has no business in politics. He should just retire and fade away.
Why is he so eager to cooperate with Obama and the Democrats?
I'll be here all week folks.
I didn’t vote for this ahole. i voted for her.
Because it’s important to get the truth out that the democrats are going after this in a completely partisan fashion. Pelosi and Reid and, yes, Obama have absolutely zero interest in reaching out to republicans. By saying he’s willing to work on a compromise McCain expertly sets the political trap because when they don’t reply - and we all know they won’t - he can say “we wanted healthcare reform but we were left out of the process.” Remember, Pelosi is talking about passing this on a party line vote and saying “the glory days are over for healthcare companies.” What better election year club could she hand us? McCain is smart to make the gesture knowing they won’t act on it.

John!....Sarah makes it look easy to be a conservative while you struggle with it....go back to bed!
Why do these idiot politicians continue to frequent these comedy venues? Clearly, no good can come out of any of these visits (especially for conservatives), as is proven time and again.
BTW, McCain would have probably garnered about 90% less of the vote had Sarah not been his running mate.
class act, John....the lady comes down here to prop-up your sagging campaign, and her family gets put thru absolute hell on earth as a result, and this is how you thank her?
"We all have families, we all have challenges, we all have issues in our lives. She did have huge legal debts because of these White House motivated and groundless [ethics] charges."
STFU Mclame
