(CNN) — Did John McCain snub Sarah Palin during an appearance Mcnday on NBC's The Tonight Show?

That's what some pro-Palin bloggers and other political observers claim after the former GOP presidential candidate left out his former running mate when naming five governors who he thought were in position to lead the Republican Party.

"We have, I'm happy to say, a lot of voices out there," McCain told host Jay Leno before listing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Utah Gov. Jim Huntsman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.

"There are a lot of governors out there who are young and dynamic," said the Arizona senator.

McCain then quickly joked, "I've left out somebody's name and I'm going to hear about it."

2 ? All but Jindal are confirmed RINOs.

Why should Palin have chosen that senile Conservative-hating RINO as her VP running mate ?

Last night, I turned off Leno when McCain came on. McCain has absolutely nothing to say that I want to hear from him.

[rabscuttle385]

I didn’t know for sure about the other two.

[fieldmarshaldj]

He has one thing to say we’d like to hear: “I announce my intention to resign/retire from the Senate.”

“Ok. Could it be that he just forgot to mention her”

There is no way he just forgot to mention her. Seconds later he POINTED out that he did not mention her. He wanted it to be known that he didn't.

Thank you for the clarification! It sure makes me feel better.

Forrestal arrived on Yankee Station on July 25 [1967]and immediately began combat operations, her aircraft flying 150 sorties during the next 4 days, without the loss of a single aircraft. At 10:52 A.M. on July 29, the second launch was being readied when a Zuni rocket accidentally fired from an F-4 Phantom parked on the starboard side of the flight deck aft of the island. The missile streaked across the deck into a 400 gallon belly fuel tank on a parked A-4D Skyhawk. The ruptured tank spew highly flammable JP-5 fuel onto the deck which ignited spreading flames over the flight deck under other fully loaded aircraft ready for launch. The ensuing fire caused ordinance to explode and other rockets to ignite. Spread by the wind, the flames engulfed the aft end of the stricken ship turning the flight deck into a blazing inferno.. Berthing spaces immediately below the flight deck became death traps for fifty men, while other crewmen were blown overboard by the explosion.

McCain's involvement? He was sitting in the cockpit of the A-4 that was hit by the Zuni. How that turned into "...accidently dropped the bomb from his own plane onto the deck of the carrier and its explosion caused the conflaguration that Killed Hundreds of Our Brave Sailors" I have no idea. The thing that pisses me off most about this story is that I can't stand McCain but this is so stupid and so detracting from his many real issues that here I am having to defend him.

Thank you very much for the actual story and hopefully others will read and learn as well. I can see now the version I repeated would be a perfect creation of a Demorat that others wanted to swallow. After surviing that conflagaration, hats off to those Pilots that had the Courage to climb back in the cockpits and fly more missions.
You are so correct that there is a Million Zillion other things to infuriate One about McLame. Hopefully, We dont have to worry about McPAIN trying to run again in 2012:-)
Thank You for Your Great service and sacrifice to Our Great Country:-)May GOD Continue to Bless You and Your Family...

I have realized I am not angry for McLame’s Negative Feelings about Sarah Palin. I realize how Sarah so outshined McLame and really made him to feel and look like the small short little guy he really is. McLame knew how critical this Election was and is to the Security and Future of Our Great America and he turned it into a Fun time Adventure and really Enabled ZERO’S victory by not questioning and attacking Zero’s far left and Anti-American rants and Agenda NOT to mention ZERO assisting a Mass Murderer’s Campaign in KENYA!

I’m really sorry I pulled the lever for this asshat.

Don't feel bad. Even if McCain would have won, there's no guarantees that he would have stepped down in 2012 and let Palin win. Furthermore, Palin would have been so weakened that she would have lost anyway because McCain would have continued statist policies.

Now Palin can run in 2012 with her own advisers and without McCain's baggage.
