From the expert on getting away with it.

If Stewart was proven wrong, he would go on his show and admit the error.

How many times has McCain done that? GOP in general? Anyone? Bueller?

McCain and Stewart used to be quite chummy. Not anymore. Anyone who watched McCain’s final appearance on the Daily Show would know to take McCain’s criticisms with a big ol’ grain of salt.

Please God, give me a dollar for every wrong thing McCain has said over the years just on Sundays, and then take away a dollar for every wrong thing Stewart said on any day of the week. I think that would easily suffice for the rest of my days.

Shorter McCain: “I know you are, but what am I?”

Barbl · July 21, 2014, 2:10pm

McCain is an expert on “absolutely wrong”. He’s been absolutely wrong so many times!

lew · July 21, 2014, 2:12pm

That’s great senator McCain. Now as you are from the party of personal responsibility, name one thing that Stewart got wrong? Just one.

Yeah, didn’t think so.

artemisia · July 21, 2014, 2:13pm

Actually, when Stewart has been wrong in the past, he’s admitted it. When McCain has been wrong in the past, he’s ignored that he’s wrong and said he wasn’t. Sorry, but Stewart is rarely wrong (does happen though), and at least he has the backbone to admit it.

Please. Somebody.
Give me an example where Sen McCain’s opinion can be deemed correct-- in advance-- of a major event.

Anybody?

Arizona Senator John McCain couldn’t find Arizona with a map, compass and gps.

mantan · July 21, 2014, 2:18pm

Yea, Johnny, Jon’s so unimportant you made yet another trek to the Howie fridge light to spill a little slime on the (yeeeeeeesch) ‘comic’ while spewing classic McCain above the fray nonsense and aided by classic FOX on-screen action words like “unloads”.

ronbyers · July 21, 2014, 2:21pm

I think McGrumpy wants an appearance on The Daily Show.

psyclone · July 21, 2014, 2:21pm

Pegged again, dammit. When will they finally make an Irony Meter that can handle a John McCain interview???

mattinpa · July 21, 2014, 2:23pm

I thought the same thing. He seems to deal in nothing but bellicose generalities, your ignorant blowhard uncle writ large.

mcbain · July 21, 2014, 2:24pm

McCain, we’re still waiting for your apology for unleashing Sarah Palin on the country.

fortunatolucchesi · July 21, 2014, 2:25pm

Apropos of being wrong, just two words: “Sarah” “Palin.”

alyoshakaramazov · July 21, 2014, 2:27pm

How about some specifics, Senator? What was he wrong about?

Name one thing, that he was wrong about, that he DIDN’T set straight afterwards.

littlegirlblue · July 21, 2014, 2:28pm

Regarding SP. Somebody here called her The Whore of Babble On. That’s it for me.

mattinpa · July 21, 2014, 2:28pm

Seriously, when he “unloads” on the media and explains why he limited access in 2008, when in fact few people lurv the media more and there were special circumstances that year, to put it mildly.
