Rush also pointed out that if McCain's heart was in the right place, he'd make his suggestions to the Bush team in private, not on camera every other day. McCain is a jerk.

[dalebert]

McCain needs to shut up.

[BlueAngel]

McCain needs help for his attention problem. He has to be on TV every few days to satisfy his craving for attention. The media only has him on so that he can criticize the Bush Administration. He is a willing partner.

It is long past the time that McShame be returned to the private sector.

If we need an expert on strategy, we should ask an old soldier who captured the enemy - not one who was captured.

One art McCain never mastered: landing a jet!

[Brilliant]

Who cares what McCain thinks anyway? He has no following, except among the media, and even their attraction is merely because he drivels on about Bush.

Today's Rush was a classic. McSHAME actually said the fight over whether to federalize/nationalize the airport security shows why we need "meaningful campaign finance reform" blah blah blah. Someone said it earlier - Gore's accepted the fact that he's not president a lot quicker than McSHAME.

[shrinkermd]

McCain is surely addicted to TV fame. It is the only explanation for his conduct. If he isn't on TV twice a day he considers the day a dismal failure.

RUSH IS RIGHT!!!

McCain would be great if Afghanistan had any SAMs that needed to be intercepted with military aircraft.

One of our local talk radio show hosts, Goyette (sp?) on KFYI had McCain on a couple of nights ago saying to bomb bomb bomb... Then last night he had Col. Hackworth saying that McCain didn't have a clue what he was saying and should just keep quiet. I love it!

If McCain had fought for strong military instead of campaign finance "reform", ...

If so he would enjoy a lot more respect and suffer a lot less contempt. But he didn't.

"...if McCain had been putting his energy into fighting against military cuts, instead of fighting for anti-GOP campaign finance "reform," maybe we'd be better situated to take out the Taliban fast."

Interesting assertion, although it doesn't hold water. You can play the shoulda-woulda-coulda game all day and it won't erase what happened on 9-11. I'm not even convinced that a "stronger military" would have stopped the events on 9-11 from transpiring. The terrorists' plans should have been known about beforehand thanks to our well-funded intelligence agencies.

And, if you haven't noticed, Afghanistan was little more than a hole in the ground when we started bombing them, and now they blackened and charred hole in the ground. What would more firepower buy us there? There are only a finite number of air targets, and then the game changes to deployment of ground troops.

You're not calling McCain a War Slut, are you?

McLame is THE REASON for the cuts...

S.258
Sponsor: Sen McCain, John (introduced 1/20/1999)
Latest Major Action: 1/20/1999 Referred to Senate committee

Title: A bill to authorize additional rounds of base closures and realignments under the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 in 2001 and 2003, and for other purposes.

Source: Thomas Legislative Archives

Inhofe said McCain has supported base closings that could threaten South Carolina facilities, voted against technology improvements in the military and has a poor voting record in supporting military growth, according to the Center for Security Policy, a pro-military watchdog organization.

FR Article

There was more good news for AFGE Activists in DoD. The Pentagon was prevented from achieving its preeminent legislative objective: additional rounds of Base Closure and Realignment (BRAC). As AFGE Legislative Dateline had predicted last week after two failed attempts at the Senate Armed Services Committee mark up, BRAC is dead for this year. Indeed, BRAC is likely dead for the rest of the 106th Congress since 2000 is an election year and most lawmakers would be unlikely to support BRAC when their careers are at stake. Nevertheless, Senators John McCain (R-AZ), Carl Levin (D-MI), and Charles Robb (D-VA) mounted a strong attempt at imposing more BRAC earlier this week during floor consideration of the defense authorization bill. However, their amendment failed by a vote of 60-40.
