McCain snaps: ‘Finished’ discussing campaign

[sabra]

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) — A frustrated Sen. John McCain snapped Wednesday when asked by CNN about his troubled presidential campaign and vowed he would no longer answer questions on that topic.

“I’m not going to talk about my campaign anymore,” McCain said in a sharp tone. “I’m finished with talking about it. I’ve talked about it for two weeks. I will not discuss it or any aspect of it. Thank you.”

McCain’s patience may have been worn thin by his lack of sleep as he managed the Defense authorization bill through the wee hours of the morning.

[Kikosexy2]

27. The stench of ...

Chimpie's ass really raked in the dough for this dough-boy huh?...One down and Girlie-ani and Fred Flintstone Thompson to go...

[The Count]

2. Snippy, ain't he? Let's talk about that shopping trip in Iraq then, John....

Or, that torture bill you caused to get worse, you SOB!

[Crazy Dave]

9. I've always heard he was a major prick...

...and that even Rush Limbaugh never liked him :wow:

[The Count]

13. That last one would be a redeeming fact...but yeah, he was a Keeting 9 sleazball

which the media pumped up to the point that many DU-ers bought it...
He's Joementum's buddy!

[Crazy Dave]

19. Him and Katherine Harris can sit next to each other....

...at the bar and cry in their beer about how the GOP has shit on both of them after all they've done for it.

[Mandate My Ass]

34. LOL

Two losers crying in their beer like jilted teenagers. I love it. :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

43. Don't talk about the shopping trip

He'll threaten you with an IED.

[Enrique]

3. "I'm finished"

so he is talking about his campaign after all

[Atman]

4. The horror. The horror.

My latest...



.

[TwilightGardener]

5. Well, that's OK, we're "finished" with him, too--it works out nicely!

[Beelzebud]

6. Let's hope they hold him to that so we don't have the endure any more of his bullshit express.

[Forkboy]

7. His collapse has provided some of the only real entertainment I've found in this campaign season.

I mean,this has really been a thing of beauty. :)

[Tom Joad]

8. saw this yesterday, so this is at least 24 hours old. McCain is finished

end of story.
He pimped at an extremist conference for Armageddon (no shit, the people he spoke to want to bomb, bomb bomb Iran so Jesus will come back) this week (will post on that soon), but let's just hope that is his last desperate plea for support.

That flushing sound is the sound of America rejecting his politics of supporting military terror.

[Botany]

10. I’m finished ... 'nuff said

[Rambis]

11. That's crazy talk John, keep going

make them all spend more $ to try and defeat you.

[liberal N proud]

12. Is the campaign finished then?

:bounce:

[pacalo]

14. "Don't ask me about my campaign" is one strategy point I haven't heard.

[Buzz Clik]

16. Nothing else has worked. Getting pissed off and hiding couldn't be any worse.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

42. "McCain's numbers soar as he disappears from the public eye!"

:crazy:

[Mabus]

35. He's trying to go back to earlier days

when his poll numbers were higher when there was speculation he was going to "launch" a campaign.

Now that his campaign has sunk he wants to go back to his pre-launch days/numbers when he had some joementum.

[Mabus]

36. deleted

Meant to respond to OP.

[Canuckistanian]

46. Must be a 'maverick' thing

Treat the press with contempt and they'll cut you some slack.

Or something like that.

[Buzz Clik]

15. Stick a fork in him. The McCain pot roast is done.

Stewed in his own juices.

Seriously. Imagine the bizarre concept of the voting public rejecting someone who completely endorses a president with a less than 35% approval rating. Who'd a thunk it? :shrug:

[Forkboy]

18. Not this Fork!

:)

[The Count]

32. Heh!Heh! DU-zie material!

:rofl:

[Endangered Specie]

17. Looks like the curved bullshit express has broken down.

[Mz Pip]

20. If only....

What would he like to talk about? He has no new material.

He may not want to talk about his campaign, but since his campaign seems to revolve around "Support the Troops. Keep them in Iraq.", no one wants to hear that, either.

Guess there's nothing left for him to do but take his ball and go home.

21. Can't take the heat, get out.

We don't need a president whose unwilling to discuss difficult issues. We already have one of those.

[AngryOldDem]

22. So, John, does that mean you're done?

If you're running for president, how can you NOT talk about your campaign? I'm trying to understand you here, man. I really am.

And if he can't tolerate a simple interview because his job as a senator wears him out, then really, no, he shouldn't think of himself as presidential material.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Too bad

See that's just part of campaigning for president. People expect you to discuss your campaign for some silly reason. Especially when said campaign is either tanking or flourishing. Just because McCain's happens to be doing the former rather than the latter isn't CNNs problem. Besides, if anyone should know how to handle a presidential campaign that's taking a nose dive it should be McCain.

[David__77]

24. Insane McCain.

"Don't ask me about my god damn campaign!"

This is one of those moments that define the collapse of a political machine.

[acmavm]

25. The old fart should stop and think about something. bush** has

cost him two elections. First, they lied about McCain, his wife, his kid, everything, and make him lost the nomination in 2000. NOW, sticking with his 'buddy' george has lost him this one. And bush** hasn't even tried to pay him back for all John's loving support during the last couple of years.

I think this whole thing is hilarious. And one more thing, we already have a loser who can't stay up past 9:00 p.m. Don't need a tired old man.

[Dulcinea]

26. Finished?

His campaign is finished. His presidential aspirations are finished. The money has dried up. He has no staff. Go back to the Senate for as long as the voters of Arizona will put up with your presence, John.

[roamer65]

28. "You won't have Dick Nixon...er...um...John McCain to kick around anymore."

He sounds a lot like Dick Nixon right now.

[rocktivity]

29. Oh, you mean he's officially dropping out?

:bounce:

[Neshanic]

30. Somebody needs a big gay sweater hug!

[Nimrod2005]

31. Snaps? AGAIN?

[catmandu57]

33. Good go away

Really go the fuck away.

[jgraz]

37. Hey, what a coincidence! So are we.

Buh Bye Johnny!

[Mabus]

38. Does this mean he's parked the Bullshit Express?

How the mighty have fallen!

Even the press, his 2000 buddies, no longer seem interested in trying to resurrect him.

[badgerpup]

39. I wish he would quit. It's really sad.

It's too late to back out gracefully, and he's just becoming more and more an object of ridicule.

Doesn't this man have ANY friends or anyone who actually cares enough to face reality and make the hard decisions here?
All I see is a delusional '...think I can, I think I can..." rock'n'roll fantasy being played out in the political arena.

Seen too many of those in real life to find that amusing anymore...
especially after falling afoul of someone experiencing this.

NOT fun.

[loves_dulcinea]

40. the straight

jacket express is leaving the station...

[AndyTiedye]

41. McCain is Hanging On Until Bush**Cheney Can Do Another Reichstag Fire

at which point he will be sitting pretty.

[zehnkatzen]

44. Anybody got a pool on when McC bows out yet?

I'm thinking it's a week, tops.

Something tells me I'm being optimistic.

[opihimoimoi]

45. Gramps McCoy is TOAST

[ryanmuegge]

47. He's out of control! Like the Howard Dean scream! Replay it 35,000 times an hour.

But I doubt they will. Only Democrats and liberals snap and act insane.
