What the hell is up with John King?
Shouldn't he just come out already as a Republican partisan? He's like the David Gregory of CNN. Everything Obama is bad; everything McCain is good.

1. I've noticed that about him as well.
And I used to like his reporting.

3. My theory: somebody should check that Cayman Island's account for unexplained large deposits
Hey, it's cheap enough. What's $5million or so when the RNC can buy a John King or Ron Fournier?

4. He fashions himself as Mr. Heartland, channeling the low info white voters
It's tiresome. He's a good reporter, when he sticks to the facts. Analysis is not for him.

6. Yeah I saw that
He was like "Hey McCain is my boy, let's not get too far out there praising that other guy." Every time there was general consensus that Obama did well, King tried his damnedest to pull it back to his boy.

8. He's fair and balanced, doncha know? Notice how no one pays attention to him, too.
I'm sure he'll get his interview with McCain soon.

9. LOL. I have to admit this OP had me going for a second
John King is my son's orthodontist. Not THAT John King, but the OP was startling to me as I just paid the bill. :rofl:

10. His romantic overtures to another CNN individual have been rebuffed. He's pissy.

12. I thought he was marrying
Dana (gushes endlessly over McCain) Bash?

He was supposed to be converting to because her dad is a rabbi.

And he's a fucking tool.

15. During the primaries, John King was in the tank for...
Hillary, as he was for Bill Clinton prior. Since then, he's come out swinging for McCain. And, perhaps his marriage to Dana Bash isn't helping either.
