Is John McCain out of touch?

June 23, 2008

Not to say that Senator McCain is out of touch.

But after Michelle Obama’s recent TV appearance reporters asked him what he thought about HIS his wife and “the View”.  And John responded, “well, she usually likes the one out of the living room window.”

 


The Bush administration’s plan to deal with American’s energy problems is to allow more off-shore oil drilling.

Isn’t that kind of like the government fighting the drug war by opening a meth lab?

Kobe Bryant has been selected to play for the United States in the Olympics.  When asked what he thought about his teammates he responded “I’m going to have teammates?”

 

And I apologize in advance if this is offensive.   But couldn’t resist. 

So after his firing, former New York Mets manager Willie Randolph said “He didn’t see it coming.”

With all due respect, Willie, even New York Governor David Paterson saw it coming.
