I can't muster up much more than a shrug of my shoulders over this one. It's John McCain after all.

[Enterprise]

Here's what's worse. I just saw the film. I don't remember seeing McCain, but I did see Carville. And BTW - I enjoyed the film.

[ThreePuttinDude]

Agreed, when I see McCain I usually think, So What

[Army Air Corps]

Maybe this is the first step in his ultimate conversion to a media whore. There have been some politicians (good ones, to boot) who started as actors and moved into politics. McCain might be boosting his "maverick" credentials by doing the opposite - going from politics to media. He did addicted to the celebrity status during his "Straight Talk Express."

[cripplecreek]

I would happily trade John McCain for Fred Thompson.

[SoDak]

It's X-rated??

Maybe this is the first step in his ultimate conversion to a media whore.

You say that like it hasn't already happened.

[Dan from Michigan]

Big Deal. It's a movie. I also own Team America World Police and Scarface which are probably more of an R than this is.

What's worse is that McCain is a gun grabbing POS.

[Paul8148]

I love the film. It weird because it really only had two or three screens that was super r rated and the use of curse words well spreading out and limted and not any other word.

[Cyber Liberty]

This is ridiculous. I can't stand the guy, but for Pete's sake, folks....

[Army Air Corps]

ROFLMAO!

Touché!

I shall rephrase. "Maybe it is part of his ultimate conversion to a full-time media whore."

[OSHA]

He should star in the McCain Mutiny remake.

[USAFJeeper]

I am struggling to understand why anyone cares? Hell I am not a John McCain fan but anyone who attempts to use this against him is an idjut.

I like this type of movie and I suspect a large majority of America does as well. And Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are two of the greatest comic actors of our time.

[don-o]

Keep on keeping on Johnny. You are doing Great!!

[MediaMole]

Your addition to the headline is just plain incorrect. The movie is rated R, not X.

X isn't even a rating any more.

[Moral Hazard]

"but I did see Carville. And BTW - I enjoyed the film."

I would have thought that vomiting up your popcorn would ruin the experience for you.

[andyk]

Ohhhh! Dirka dirka dirka!

[Army Air Corps]

Team america was damned funny. Some of the language was, for me, over the edge. On whole, I loved the constant skewering of Hollywierd dumbarses.

[Enterprise]

It wasn't X-rated. There were a few scenes with breasts (nice ones too).
