Direct quotes from the MSNBC interview (video at link):

On the Obama administration:
"I do not question the motives of this administration"

"To say that [this administration has] made the country weaker...is not something I would make that statement." [sic]

On being happy that Letterman has apologized to Palin:
"I was, and I appreciate the fact that he did. Now I think we have to move on."

On the future of the GOP:
"I think we should let a thousand flowers bloom, David. We've lost two elections in a row. We've got a lot of conversation to do with the American people. Let a lot of people speak. Let's listen to all of them, and I guarantee you one thing: we'll come back."

The only ones who will be "com[ing] back" are real conservatives and libertarians, not worthless RINOs like McBama.

"I have great respect for Al Gore."

He has said all he needs to say about it for now. Sarah close-lined Dave pretty good all on her own.

McLame isn’t qualified to talk about the GOP, IMO.

If the future of the GOP didn’t include McCain, I think it would be a heck of a lot brighter.

McCain has positioned himself face down in the crapper.

Would someone PLEASE!!?! pull the lever and send him to where he belongs?

Every time this ignorant turd opens his mouth I want to puke.

“We've lost two elections in a row”

This maverick (backstabber) is responsible for a large part. Hypocrite idiot.

Barack Obama is President but you are still running the anti-McCain campaign as though it were September of 2008.

To use your own words, “The only ones who will be “com[ing] back” are real conservatives and libertarians, not worthless RINOs like McBama." You seem to be pretty obsessed with a guy that is "not coming back.”

He may not be “coming back,” but he’ll still be around until 2010...and he can still do immense damage in the meantime.

McCain has NO standing in the Republican Party! He needs to fade away quickly. Proof - just look at the poles that showed most conservatives stayed home and did not bother to vote! He, Colon Powell, and so many others really do need to be expunged from the Republican Party - heck, that includes almost all of the Beltway crowd. Time to look toward the Flyover country for future candidates...

He's such a waffler. There just aren't many politicians who can just say what they think.

"To say that [this administration has] made the country weaker...is not something I would make that statement..."

"...though I don't agree with its policies..."

I wouldn’t put it past McCain to try and run AGAIN. Except for Sarah – who, to anyone with eyes and ears is OUR “rock star”, all of those idiots involved with the last election can fade away to a much deserved obscurity.

Time to go beddy-bye, McCain. The rest of us are on the warpath against Letterman, and all the rest of those commie dorkheads who ridicule everything, stand for nothing, and ought to have been unemployed since the moment they were conceived.

John, you are about as relevant as the worms I have composting food scraps.
Go away! At least the worm droppings fertilize my plants.

It’s up to Conservatives and the base to let McFlame know that his political career is over. He trashed it before the election and during the election. His screw ups and RINO philosophy cost us our country and our future. Case closed!
