The Rachel Maddow Show Finds Old McCain C-SPAN Footage
Oh lookie here. Apparently Rachel Maddow loves the C-SPAN. As a part time C-SPAN junkie and fellow geek myself I can relate. Apparently after her show contacted them about the missing footage of John McCain cutting off Sen. Mark Dayton and objecting to him having another thirty seconds to debate the Iraq war, they went back to their original analog tapes and reposted the footage on their web site.
Maddow: Either Sen. McCain cannot remember that he objected to a Senator getting an extra thirty seconds to finish his remarks during the Iraq war debate or Sen. McCain knows perfectly well that this stuff happens in the Senate. It happens. And he just said it was unprecedented out of sheer hackitude.
Good for Rachel and her staff for following up on this. John McCain, thy name is hypocrite. Hackitude indeed. Hackitude and anger management problems. My apologies again for thinking Tweety had this and Rachel missed it.
And not all that good for McCain. Lying sack of shit McCain. Chances why he never heard such stuff on the senate floor is because the voices in his head are louder than the ones coming out of his mouth. I hope he loses his primary to some teabagger. It would serve him and the people of AZ right
is intended to be a factual statement
I agree 100% with you on McCain but I live in AZ, how about you wish that a Dem win rather than teabagger. Not all of us vote for the right here so please don't go assuming were all the same just because 51% in AZ are still backward ass red necks k ? =) That still leaves 49% who hate McCain and his ilk just as much as you do.
was the key word, not the general election
Thanks Floeidiot. That's what I meant. By no means do I want to see a teabager making actual decisions. Just the chance to kick that bitter old man out of his cushy seat.
is intended to be a factual statement
fix it.
me-oww!
Was just showing that famous republican fake outrage!
These fuckers do shit just like this dozens of times a day.
Anything to distract, cover up or obfiscate a republican will do it!
Great job C-SPAN

"The Road to Serfdom" as a whole, but one chapter sums up most governments, with the thesis summarized in the title: Why the Worst Get on Top. He was talking about totalitarian societies, which is where I think he got it wrong: the USA and any number of other "free" countries are the same.

...never trusting those white-coated devils....grumble, grumble...
I think McCain should be told about this new stuff called "tape recording". When he recovers from hearing about that, then ease him into the concept of the telephone.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
I expected better from a man who left his wife to go gold-digging and weaseled his way out of his association with Charles Keating!
And angrily insulted the families of Vietnam vets who wanted access to records showing whether any might still be alive in Vietnam or elsewhere in Asia ... probably because they might come back and testify against him for what he did in Vietnam.
THAT tape should be shown as well...
slightly off-topic...I love how those 'righties' in Congress are foaming at the mouth over these 'dead-of-night' votings...um...didn't we just have eight years of that??!!!!!
Yep...Obama deserved the Noble Peace Prize.
He deserves the Peace Prize for winning the election and keeping McCain out of the white house along with that Bachmann wanna be, Palin.

The Norwegians did not, howeve take into account that he can no longer hide his corporatist soul in his Santa suit. He failed to deliver all the goodies before Christmas eve to everyone who gave him money and voted Democratic for the first time because he falsely sold them a bill of goods by running on the very specific leftist promise of hope and change. Therefore I am running back to the mall to return the 46" LCD teevee which I will never watch again.

I have to hope that Al Franken files this onto his hard drive of a mind under McCain and Hypocrite and Senate Floor.
So McGetoffmylawn says that in all his years he has never, never I say, ever seen such stuff on the Senate floor. He could not believe his eyes and ears. Who would have the nerve to do such a thing? This Franken rookie must be taught. How did he get into our fraternity? What's that you say? What? Are you sure? Just a few minutes ago? And in 2002? Ok, never mind.
he's even losing it more and more or he's an out and out liar.
I'm going with your second option. He has been an asshole for some time but for some reason no one called him out on it. We know he's has a terrible temper for years, we know his not so heroic background. Had he never been a POW, we wouldn't know his name today.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
why don't they understand that no matter what they have accumulated on earth, when we die, we all begin as equals and we will have to all of us answer for that which we have done. McCain is nearing the end, he could go an any time, what's he going to do bargain or lie his way to a better position. WHY DON'T THEY LEARN???
Simple denial . . . and hoping distraction will work in the afterlife. "Oh, look! A shiny sinner!!"
It's terrible when you get old, and don't have your well connected Daddy to cover up your mistakes and lies anymore.
Vote GOP and move forward to the 18th Century.

but he never got to the ending, where he revealed who really killed JFK. He promised to do so for Christmas on '03, but the blizzard hit early that year you recall, and when we wnt to shivel the snow from his driveway we found his house had burned down with him in it.
Arson was suspected but denied.

Did the uncle know your grandpa who had the chimp?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
but my gramps was for real. So was the chimp. He wore diapers but his name was not Vitter. However he was bitter.
Grandpa, not the chimp. The chimp was just mean. His name was Whiskey.
"Folks, this is not your father's Republican Party."

I bet Whiskey would have liked Martini. Probably would have eaten him like a snack especially if Martini had an onion tied to his belt.

Maybe there were no dogs in Baytown either.

Oh, thank you guys so much -- I really needed a good laugh!
Did he ever say what the onion was for? Does having an onion that close to your private parts mean something or does the odor of the onion appeal to a particular type of folks?

I bought the worst cards ever this year, for some reason. I got them at the grocery store, and then when I got home I looked at them again and thought, "WTF?"
OK, on the front is a "3-D" photograph of a polar bear with two cubs lying on the snow. You tilt it and they move a little bit.
On the inside it says, "Enjoy your holiday to the fullest!"
How's that for a holiday sentiment? Jeez. I couldn't bring myself to actually mail any of them. I think, when I get a car again, that I'll give them to the charity thrift shop.
Or put down?
Isn't time this dinosaur McGrumps went back to his 8 houses for good?
McInsane couldn't remember that he, apparently, was a real 'maverick' back so many years ago. Oh well, if he'd have won, that young Palin lass would have helped him with his recollection, I'm sure...

Saw it the other night on television. Priceless. What a pathetic f***ing joke this guy is.
I don’t recall the war mongering Senator from Arizona being outraged at the unprecedented event of the him and his republican colleagues filibustering and voting no to war funding for our troops in order to delay healthcare. Why do hate the troops McCain
Okay
Actually I was thinking this morning how nice it would be to be young and stoopid again.

don't question Rachel. She's thorough and she's not the only person to have found that McStain is a hypocrite. Rachel is scholarly and it pays off for all of us who want to be truthfully be informed.
thanks for admitting you had it wrong. Now take the lesson.
considering the state of SCLM, I'll take a RAchel mistake before I believe a chuck todd or a tweety.
And I know for a fact that Rachel will issue corrections.

John McCain can't remember what he said last week. It is completely unrealistic to expect him to remember there was a year 2003, never mind what he said during that year. Would you expect the athletes at the Special Olympics to compete at the Olympic level?

McCain has terrible memory and he's overly confident, this wouldn't be so bad if he didn't keep shooting himself in the foot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajm5JTf7jZs
I will go out on a limb here and say Rachel Maddow is the smartest person with their own news show on the MSM. Because of this the dumbass right wing teabagging wing of the Neocon Party are very angry at her. They should be very afraid of her but their idiocy and stupidity gets in the way of fear of intelligence.
A couple of weeks ago I spent the afternoon watching the Senate from the gallery. After finishing one vote they were moving on to debate another matter. The leadership of both parties had conferred and come up with a schedule of who would speak when. They wanted to adopt that schedule so that Senators knew when they would need to be back in the chamber to speak, and could do other business in the meantime. That's a tiny procedural thing, normally adopted by unanimous consent, but in this case one Senator objected, so they couldn't. He didn't have any particular reason for objecting, he just was in a fit of pique because the previous vote had been a loss for the Obstructionists (Gregg amendment to effectively kill health reform.) Again, this was a unanimous consent request that came from the GOP leadership as well as the Dem leadership. After the objection, the Dems were looking at him and shaking their heads, the R's were trying not to look at him and shake their heads. Just one guy being a dick because, well...
Guess who?

McCain is turning into a real prick, not that he was not one before.
His recent comments are certainly not the McCain "Maverick" of old. He is turning into a teabagger.
Dowd at the NYT has a great piece on this today.

Crappy Pants McShithead was upset because this happened to a Repuke. It's OK if it happens to a Democrat though so that doesn't even count.
...and that feeble, senile old fart needs to be confronted IN PERSON...over and over and over again as to just what the f*ck he is talking about.
Just one more example of these lying sons of bitches that have attempted to sink this country into a toilet bowl of shit.
We need to take our CONGRESS back. Get rid of these hypocritical ass holes. Every stinking last one of them. If the people of their district or state are that fucking ignorant to send them back time and again...then we need to come up with a "new strategy". I'm willing to relocate to help.
by our wonderful gutless media. they've shown again and again what they stand for. the fist question they ask is how is this going to benefit me, right stertch, right katie, right fill in the name. when i grew up i really wanted to be a media person to write the story or to right a wrong, but that was when the media was the last bastion of hope. you could always threaten to take it to the media and thewrong doers would quake at the thought. no more. the media is now just a tool of the right. well, i don't really believe that. they are a tool of their own ambitions. with apologies to helen, keith, and rachel.
I really wish they would show a wider camera angle now and then -- without warning the congress-critters in advance.
Those of us who have been able to watch the Senate from the visitors gallery just before and during a vote are aware of the staginess of the presentation in a way that's tough to capture on camera. McConnell and Reid just got up and waved their arms around FOR the camera -- as if they were simply in a TV studio. It was a lot like watching a Fox News talking heads shouting match -- with a little "Senatorial Courtesy" about "my good friend from Kentucky" and such thrown in.
It seems a shame folks who don't get to visit DC can't get a more 'back stage' look at the cheap production values of our Congressional "debates".
Of course he knew that this happens all the time. He's just a maverick! You never can tell what he's going to do!!!
because you are a typical goddamned GOP hypocrite...not that I even believe in "god"
Oh Johnny this is why nobody cares what you say. Not at all. You're little squeaky voice expressing outrage, who cares? Nobody. It not like you know anything or do anything. Your mouth moves and what...? A cartoon character's mouth moves but other than providing some laughs (ok so do you) nothing changes because of it. You lie as easy as you breathe. It's what you do , it's who you are. Go home and get pilled up with the old lady and call it a day you sad sad piece of excrement.
