John McCain: 'Life isn't fair'
John McCain: 'Life isn't fair'
The Republican nominee on the World Series: 'I still kind of like the Red Sox.'
Posted October 2, 2008 9:30 AM

by Mark Silva

McCain, appearing on FOX and Friends this morning, was asked why polls reflect that Barack Obama has gained ground since the economic crisis "has landed in everyone's kitchen table, why is that?''

"Because life isn't fair,'' McCain said.


~snip~

"Frankly, I wish they had picked a moderator that isn't writing a book favorable to Barack Obama,'' McCain replied. "Let's face it. But I have to have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will handle this as the professional journalist that she is....

"Life isn't fair, as I mentioned earlier in the program."

4. The people love politicians who are whiners.
It really speaks to them.

...and on top of THAT, now I have to renounce my baseball team.

23. Yeah, That Kind of Comment Does Not Play Well
Michael Dukakis and Dan Quayle each had similar comments in their debates:

"I resent that."
"That was uncalled for, Senator."

Not presidential.

7. So, is "Life Isn't Fair" his NEW campaign slogan?!
I personally like "WAAAHHHH!!!" better. More succinct. Punchier.

10. Life's been more than fair to him though, hasn't it
If someone with his "talents" had been born to a less prominent family he'd be living in some homeless shelter right now.

12. Don't ya'll get it? They are setting it up. If Palin is disastrous, its Ifill's bias that caused it!
Its pre-debate damage control.

14. I just love listening to millionaires complain about how life isn't fair
Poor McCain. He should take his plane and fly to one of his homes and sulk. Life just isn't fair.

15. I watched about 10 minutes of Fox. It makes me ill.
Watching McCain is like watching an old Don Knotts movie during his most embarrassing scenes. Only McCain is real act and he is a real embarrassment.

21. John, your life was shit for 5 years. Before and after you have lived a life of utmost privilege.
Forgive me if I fail to muster pity for you.
