Discussion: McCain Calls White House Spox An ‘Idiot,’ Quickly Retracts It

Discussion for article #236705

McCain is certainly not an idiot. He never puts his foot in his mouth.

Well, listen - I’ll retract that.

Or you could light your hair on fire because someone said ‘we aren’t losing’ instead of ‘we’re winning’.

Completely agree with McCain. Personally, I’ll never forgive Josh Earnest for putting Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency and serving as a relentless cheerleader for Bush’s invasion of Iraq.
Oh, wait…

“Of course my most unfavorite is this idiot Earnest saying ‘Well, we’re not gonna set our hair on fire every time there’s a setback,’” McCain said. “Mr. Earnest may not, but bodies are on fire on the streets of Ramadi as we are speaking. This is an evil"

Sure, Earnest is an idiot for suggesting that we think and evaluate as we deal with a difficult situation.

Of course, McCain’s solution is to set more bodies on fire.

John McCain has no leg to stand on calling anyone an idiot after introducing the world
to the turgid, tundra twit . . . .

"Generally speaking, Presidents don’t say ‘We’re not losing,’” McCain
said. “They usually should say ‘We have a strategy to win.’”

Every time he says something like this, one can almost feel the severe butthurty grudge that McGrumpy still carries from losing to That One. It pleases me.

Okay, I know that McCain was a bottom of the barrel flyboy, but let’s be honest here, anyone who has any knowledge regarding military tactics knows that there are always going to be set backs in any conflict. I believe that there was one huge one during World War 2 in which the Allied military was pushed well back in their advances against Germany- it’s called The Battle of the Bulge.

But, then again, we ARE talking about an idiot who got shot down repeatedly in Vietnam.

Letterman reminded us during his week-long farewell party about the time McCain cancelled his appearance during the 2008 campaign because the economy had turned south and he was suspending his campaign and caused Letterman schedulers to go nuts. But he knew he could be of use to those in government and economists who were going to work on it and restore the country to economic health. Saturday snark.

Isn’t this the same John McCain that wanted the U.S. to fund and arm the Syrian rebels which later became the Islamic State?

Who’s the idiot exactly?

You have to question why McCain went into the Navy at all, and it was because it ran in the family, like politics ran in the bush family, but clearly McC was not suited at all. But it worked out. His naval career gave him a boost into politics financed by his father-in-law’s beer distribution company…

TPM:

“Generally speaking, Presidents don’t say ‘We’re not losing,’” McCain said. “They usually should say 'We have a strategy to win.'”

You know what, Sen. McCain? The President is not a fucking cheerleader. I’d rather hear politicians talk realistically and rationally about our policies, plans, and strategies rather than “Rah, rah, USA! America, Fuck Yeah!” all the time.

Grow the fuck up.
