The second half of the opening segment on MTP is dedicated to beating up McCain, having used McCain to do as much destruction to George Bush as he possibly could. McCain looked a bit surprised at the "beating" Timmy was administering. After all, he played along during part one.

I caught the last few minutes of the McCain interview. I was surprised that Russert was rather rough with his questions to Johnnyboy. John didn't smile much during those latter moments of the interview.

Has McCain's star dimmed now that Obama and Hillary are on center stage?

This is what I thought might happen. Here's what I said yesterday:

McCain has been the darling of the DBM, particularly MTP, for several years, so long as he was a reliable critic of all things Bush. He has wandered off the reservation on Iraq recently and I think "his base," which even he has acknowledged, is the media, is turning on him for his apostasy. This may be a very hostile appearance for him on what has been his "home turf" for a long time.

I guess even a blind sow finds an acorn every once in awhile <g>

BTW, Hugh Hewitt posted a link to the preview on my blog again this morning. I have to go back to my blog and add the link to this thread to my post there.

I believe that the miserable, tone deaf DBM has come to the realization that Conservatives hate Mccain and will not vote for him in the Primary. They also know by his pandering to Conservatives that he has no intention of going third party therefore they do not need to pump him up any longer to do that third party gig to hurt the Republicans. They know a lot of dirt about Mccain and they would keep him in the fold as a useful idiot if they thought he had a Snowball's chance in Hell of winning the Republican Nomination. Since they do not think this will happen, why bother to play nice with him and keep pushing him to go for it? They will never be able to use all their dirt on him unless he is the Nominee. He can still be a fairly useful idiot as we see here with Buffalo Butt this AM. I am getting so I would rather watch Bird Doo Doo dry on a brand New Mercedes Hood (especially if it belonged to Russert) than watch The Sunday Morning Talk Shows. it is a lot more exciting and thought provoking...LOL!
