Has McCain Answered Questions from the Media Since His Gaffe?

[CatBO]

How long has it been since McCain actually gave a real interview?

Not the Jay Leno comedy routine, but a real Q&A. Has he been allowed to speak to journalists since his houses gaffe?

1. Just wait till he gets the Nom....its gonna get brutal

Warning: Evidence of a LOST MIND

2. That's just it, he literally will lose if he speaks

If McCain speaks for any period of time, he will lose.

The candidate does not speak for the campaign, they have told us.

Because if the candidate does speak, he will lose the campaign.

So how on earth are they gonna get through to the election without him opening up his mouth and shoving his foot in it? He has spoken less and less since he brought on the Rove-lite team. At some point, it's going to get suspicious.

6. The Impossible Task of learning 30 years of information in a few months

is McWorse's downfall....in this day of information OverLoad...he has information Under load....low intuitive level means more errors when going emotional(gut feelings)

Sounds good but plays out like crap...see W Bush press that button..."I am the Decider" that was big clue

Too Little Too Late ....McSlow is gonna melt soon... Pressure too great ....ala Matt Brady from Inherit the Wind....babbling incoherently...get the hook time...

Come, we go find popcorn

3. Which gaffe?

There have been a lot more than forgetting how many houses he owns.

[CatBO]

4. Good Point...

But I think houses will be "the" gaffe. It's his bardcode scanner moment.

10. Yeah I'd heard that...

But I wasn't sure if it still held true.

Guess it does. Amazing.

7. His entire candidacy will now be done remote. Interviews will be scripted or by telephone

so his handlers can give him the answers to read off cards.

8. BACK OFF ASSHOLES....He was a POW 35 years ago......

Don't you have any respect????

:sarcasm:

9. It's starting to get like Howard Hughes....

...they probably just keep him out of the way in a dark room, and clean him up for rare appearances.

[sharp_stick]

11. Nope, and he hasn't come out with a

policy statement except that idiotic "drill here drill now" shit in the last 2 fucking months. I really have no idea what in the hell he's doing but it sure as shit isn't running a real Presidential campaign.

I can't wait for the debates, Obama is going to destroy that old shit and it won't be pretty.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. No need...we already know the answer: POW POW POW

:eyes:

15. All I have seen of him is when the media plays his ads for free

during their programs. McCain has a new ad out...Let's play it during our show. Free advertising brought to you by the corporate media. Sickening. I can not wait for the debates. Obama is going to kick his senile ass.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. He's been avoiding the media for some time.

Hell, he's kicking black reporters out of his presence.
