I'm with you. What's the point of having McCain on at all? He's not involved in anything that's going on in Congress AND he's senile.
McCain appearance = Everybody is on vacation. Get me somebody who can fog up a mirror.

"Get me somebody who can fog up a mirror."
I hope that is the explanation. Otherwise, I would have to conclude that the producers of these shows are out of their f'in' minds.

And he will probably be on MTP next week. Gregory fawns over McCain as if McCain is the President.
It is disgusting how the Presidential election loser gets so much publicity from the MSM. Kerry and Gore never did.

Again, you need to list FZ's GPS. How can you leave off the most information-filled talk show?

The two weren't unrelated as I recall. Although being a follower of politics, I'm not really capable of remembering anything that happened more than a week ago.
