I could not agree with you more.
For the pubs to have reaching-across-the-aisle McCain on MTP as ersatz spokesnoid for the party is beyond stupid. Although I’ll allow that they are probably all huddled and were blindslapped by the Friday announcement about the debt ceiling.
McCain, who never met a camera he didn’t adore, agreed to amble on screen and pretend he speaks for anybody for it is just pretense.
Now is the time for the pubs to come out swinging. Because while the American public can be easily fooled from time to time as they carry this country on their backs whilst raising the citizens of the morrow and fighting America’s wars, it’s gonna be damn hard to convince them that anybody else but Obamer owns that downgrade of the debt rating.
I think the midnight oil is burning in the WH and Valerie Jarrett’s serving Jamaican mojitos and assuring everyone it’s under control, that they have John Kerry on MTP handling their side of things, that they need only catch their breaths and plan a campaign to blame it all on the pubs.
She assures the WH jesters that OBamer’s bus tour is still on and that they will get through tomorrow’s likely stock plunge.
Only, I assert, they won’t. This is one huge nail in OBamer’s coffin.
John Kerry is all they could get to go on TV to defend OBamer? A blowhard hasbeen already rejected by America.
That’s pathetic right there.
With Hillary ready to pull the rip-cord, "Live-shot" Kerry is angling to replace her.
The problem is that the Pubs don’t control who gets invited; with the exception of Republican president, vice-presidents, and secretaries of State and Defense, no Republican can normally get on one of these shows unless the producers and interviewers want them.
That’s why we never see Inhofe, Sessions, Rubio, or Ryan on anything but Fox. What WOULD help is party discipline, where people like McCain are told to stay off those shows or they will lose committee chairmanships, but so far no GOP leader has wanted to enforce that type of rule.
I considered it a sign that the media is getting nervous about Obama when they allowed Boehner rebuttal time after Obama’s speech.
