NEW YORK (AP) — John McCain will be the host of AMC cable network's Memorial Day weekend marathon of movies celebrating war heroes.
The former prisoner of war and Republican presidential candidate will introduce movies like "Midway," "Patton," "The Longest Day," "Hamburger Hill," "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and "Battle of the Bulge."
McCain says the most interesting thing he's found about heroes is that "they're the last people to believe that they're really heroes."

I’m OK with this. I just wish he was doing it as a Retired U.S. Senator.

I don’t have a problem either. It’s not like John Murtha or John Kerry hosted it..or even Megan McCain.

Next weekend his daughter Meghan is gonna host a weekend of airhead films, such as
Valley Girl and
Clueless.Ms. McCain says the most interesting thing she's found about airheads is that "speaking from experience, they're the last people to believe that they're really airheads."

Fortunately I already have those on DVD.
I never watch AMC. Since they went commercial the totally reek. One of the worst stations for commercials there is.
Since when is “Godzilla vs Megalon” and American classic anyhow?

Defaulting or condensing down to his only perceived ‘plus’.

AMC does commercials. Boatloads of them.
TCM (Turner Classic Movies) is commerical-free.

They do have commercials. I watch Mad Men and the ads are lesser than network TV.

Too bad since I usually look forward to watching my ritual Memorial Day war movies.

Fortunately I have most of them on DVD, Band of Brothers alone would take up most of the day.
