Intersting

Sorry

This is interesting, and by the way when did that moron Mika Brzezinski  become a "host"?

Right after her dad had lunch with an NBC exec.

You see, MMFA doesn't understand that by "suspending the campaign" it means that Obama can't say anything about McCain. McCain can say anything he wants about Obama. Don't you see how that works? ;)

Yes, they're attempting a "high-tech suspension" of Obama...

them claiming Obama has done "zero" on this is proof positive that this "suspension" is just another McCain ploy, like when he couldn't "go" to the first day of his convention because of the hurricane. Of course, the other hurricanes weren't a concern for him...

If I went on the show and told "Morning Joe" he had grape jelly on his tie, he would not even look down (if I were a [God forbid] Republican operative).  He might "take a break" to wipe it off, during which time he would run a McCain ad.

Actually, MMFA doesn't understand what was said.

and later accused Sen. Barack Obama of having "done exactly zero" to produce bipartisan legislation.

No one ever said anything about bipartisan legislation. They were talking about Obama calling McCain in the morning, and Wallace was saying THAT was a first (for that type of reaching across the isle.)

For the same reason, that McCain did the opening speech for Clinton's Global Initiative, and he started off by saying that he has put his campaign on hold due to the financial crisis....and then went on to tell the nation the various things that he will do if  "he is elected president".

The cameras focussed on Cindy McCain and Sarah Palin, and other staffers in the audience, a great camapign photo moment. The Global Initiative speech was nothing more than a campaign speech....so much for putting the campaign on hold.

They didn't suspend anything. Thing is, this "suspension" is just another campaign ploy, and everyone and their mother (even McCain's mother) can see right directly through it.

What a farce.

I guess since we have a bailout plan ready to roll, McCain can go BACK to his campaign. Funny how he cares about this bill, but didn't really matter to him ALL of the hundreds of votes that he missed during his time in the US Senate. He's so Maverick, he just decided to skip votes.

He's so Maverick, he just decided to skip votes.

Now Skipping votes , that is a Maverick

I like it. McCain thought he could pull off another stunt and Obama shows him he knows how to play chicken. If McCain doesn't show up tomorrow, Obama is gonna run the debate like a townhall that McCain has been yammering for. He'll have unfettered access to 14 million or more Americans for an hour and McCain can't do anything to stop it except show up and debate. Check and mate!

McCain's gonna show up, Snoop...and act like a freakin' conquering hero.  That'll impress the same type of people who think Sarah Palin is wonderful. Idiots...

This "thing" is starting to remind me of the times in the early 70's when we would smoke weed, eat screaming yellow zonkers and listen to Fireside theater. Porgie, Porgie tire biter and inflate your yellow shoes and follow the rubber line..... mccain is so lame. Only a blind, deaf mute right wing zealot could see this as something other than what it really is: Political one-upmanship and political posturing for some kind of advantage which will fail. The repukelicans are all "bozos on the Zig Zag talk express bus" They have all been dipping into the holding tank.

For those that missed the David Letterman blow up, it's a beauty! See the Huffington Post for the show's videos and text.

McCain was scheduled to be on Letterman last night, called him to back out because he had to return to Washington for the financial crisis.

Then Letterman shows him sitting on the set at another studio with Katie Couric having his makeup applied for the interview about to take place....at the same time he would have been on Letterman. His spokesman said that McCain felt the finacial crisis was no time to be on a comedy show.

Keith Olbermann replaced him, but Letterman was so upset Keith didn't get to say much.

Speaking of putting on make-up for the Couric interview, also on Huffington Post, Sam Stein:

So, John McCain has reportedly paid more than $5,500 to Tifanie White, the makeup artist who works on "American Idol," for similar cosmetic services. It is yet another incident of a politician -- regardless of ideological stripe -- coughing up a lot of money for the sake of good looks.

Earlier this cycle, one may recall, former Sen. John Edwards was subjected to days of ridicule over the fact that he had made two separate payments of $400 for two haircuts.....

.....[....].......

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/24/mccains-5000-makeup-will_n_128973.html

Do you think the media will treat McCain like they did Edwards haircuts? ......nope.

I've worked in construction long enough to know the additional expense of conforming to Historic Building codes and restrictions, so, to be fair, Mavrick's makeup might cost a little more than a more contemporary face would.

Even Colbert is mocking McCain by temporarily "suspending" his show!

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Colbert_mocks_McCain_by_suspending_his_0925.html

He really needs a morticians makeup artist. mccain has been embalmed, right? When his mouth moves I see wires. I was so looking forward to the debates. I think palin will have an emergency moose skinning and call off her debate with Biden. I think she should name her daughters baby "Ups".

Well, where have you heard this one before?

Fox host tells guest mentioning McCain role in Keating Five scandal to 'pipe down'

'Cut his mike,' producer suggests

The Keating Five scandal, and John McCain's role in it, has received relatively little mention in presidential campaign coverage, and at least one Fox News host seems dedicated to keeping it that way.

Appearing Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, radio host Mike Papantonio tried to remind viewers about McCain's intervention with federal regulators on behalf of real estate mogul Charles Keating, who was trying to avoid regulations of a savings and loan he owned during the S&L crisis of the 1980s.

F&F's Steve Doocy told Papantonio to "pipe down," called him "rude" and demanded he "cut it out." A show producer could be overheard saying "cut his mike."

As Papantonio tries one last time to explain the details of the Keating Five scandal, Doocy again cuts him off.

"This is not the History Channel," he says.

Papantonio's apparent crime was interrupting fellow guest Michael Reagan, the conservative radio host, who was arguing that it would be unfair to judge McCain based on his actions 20 years ago.

"It has everything to do with what's happening today," Papantonio said before being told to pipe down.

Regardless of whether Papantonio was being rude, preserving an orderly debate certainly could not have been Doocy's goal in silencing the guest. Not two minutes before his admonition that Papantonio was "being rude," Doocy repeatedly interrupted his guest to deliver talking points that might as well have been written by the McCain campaign.

At least three times Doocy interrupted Papantonio as he argued that McCain's political gambit to "suspend" his campaign and delay Friday's debate was more a response to his flagging poll numbers than an attempt to fix the economic crisis. Doocy wasn't buying it.

"If Barack Obama wants to do so much for the economy, why doesn't he go to his day job and work in the us senate?" he asked Reagan, cutting off Papantonio's argument.

I saw something like this last month on MSNBC

In what may have been a moment of an unknown open microphone during Wednesday night's DNC coverage on MSNBC, anchor Keith Olbermann vocally asked to wrap NBC News and MSNBC contributor Mike Murphy. Reports surfaced earlier that Olbermann had Murphy banned from the primetime coverage Monday (explained as technical difficulties), and Murphy was also missing Tuesday night. A Republican political consultant who joined the network's payroll in July, Murphy is in Denver for the convention coverage.

On Monday night Olbermann was heard, while off camera, telling guest Joe Scarborough to "get a shovel."

As Murphy sat with with Harold Ford, Jr and talked with Chris Matthews about Hillary Clinton liking John McCain, Olbermann, off camera, can be heard loudly saying, "Let's wrap him up, all right?"

Watch or scroll for trascript:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me ask you Mike: are we to, to place the credibility of you as a pundit on your belief, that you've just asserted, that the Clintons will vote for John McCain?

MURPHY: Absolutely. I really believe Hillary Clinton will vote for McCain. Look, they're friends. [Crowd boos]. Ah, come on, don't shout me down: let me talk. I mean come on, this is, you guys are so in the tank we ought to be filming this on a submarine. The fact is, Barack Obama, to his credit, has moved closer to Hillary Clinton and John McCain on foreign policy, Hillary and John McCain have worked --

MATTHEWS: That's an argument -- that's not what I'm asking you.

MURPHY: I really believe --

MATTHEWS: Mike, let me get back to --

KEITH OLBERMANN (OFF CAMERA): Let's wrap him up, alright?

Sue, you need to get over your Olbermann fixation.  In one case, you've got Olbermann getting a segment finished up.  In the other case, you've got a host that's calling a person on the carpet for being "rude", then moments later doing the exact same thing himself.

Sue, you need to get over your Olbermann fixation. 

What fixation, a question was asked if by Snoopy "Well, where have you heard this one before?

 In one case, you've got Olbermann getting a segment finished up.  In the other case, you've got a host that's calling a person on the carpet for being "rude", then moments later doing the exact same thing himself.

Olbermann was not involved in the interview with Murphy, but be blind. either way you do not have an open mind, MSNBC can do no wrong I guess compared to FOX.  And the Nile is a River in Manhattan.

I thought they called that river De Nile?

doocy goes on billybob o'really's comedy show on the faucks news channel to be asked mindless questions about past movies, stars and TV shows. This guy just really creeps me out big time. Is he out of the closet yet? He is, for sure, one of billy bob's lap dogs. When I think of him the word Fruitcake comes to mind. Faucks news needs some roach spray. There would be a lot of empty time slots on that channel.

All seriousness aside, Typical fake news.

The funny thing would be if the networks announced that in deference to John McCain's patriotic suspension of his campaign that for the duration they will not have any McCain surrogates on as guests...  ;>)
