"McCain at first seemed happy enough to do the interview. But his mood quickly soured. The McCain on display in the 24-minute interview was prickly, at times abrasive, and determined not to stray off message. An excerpt:"
TIME: I wonder if you could define honor for us?
McCain: Read it in my books.
TIME: I've read your books.
McCain: No, I'm not going to define it.
TIME: But honor in politics?
McCain: I defined it in five books. Read my books.
TIME: Is there anything so far about this campaign that you wish you could take back or you might revisit when it's over?
McCain: [Does not answer.]
-- WHAT an ass'ole. - thelastcivilian, on 08/28/2008, -20/+485Childish. He's a 72 year-old baby.
- USArugula, on 08/28/2008, -17/+482McCain withholding information from the press? My God, it's just like the last 8 years.
- BishkekBuddy, on 08/28/2008, -20/+446I suppose, on one level, you have to feel just a little sorry for McCain - after all, he was plowed under in 2000 by the Rove Machine so that a puppet could take center stage. Now his chance is being taken away from him by a truly inspired and inspiring candidate and an American public that has a passionate hunger for change. McCain's changed, all right, but he's changed into a neo-con... and we don't need any more of THEM!
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -9/+365How is this guy not getting crushed in the polls by double digits?
- Alheithinn, on 08/28/2008, -13/+323How could anyone vote for this yokel? This "Hands off, I'm a veteran" routine of his wears thin after what his Swiftboating people did to John Kerry and this refusal to answer questions is entirely too much like what we've had from Bush.
- mingistech, on 08/28/2008, -27/+320because there are a lot of stupid people in the bible belt.
- doctorklein, on 08/28/2008, -17/+297McCain: A True ***** Douchebag.
- BetGR, on 08/28/2008, -20/+232McArcane is a nasty little man.... who thinks its ok to be rude to the press, who think its perfectly fine to call his wife the "c" word, and then suggests she could compete for the Buffalo Chip Beauty Contest (I would have slugged my husband if he said that to me). Who thinks its funny to sing "bomb bomb bomb..." or "lets send cigarettes over to kill the Iranians" while people here suffer with all sorts of cancer and can't get the treatment they need. SHAMEFUL. It is even worse when McCain has had 5 bouts of skin cancer- melanoma. If we said that to him he would have a hissy fit. But its ok for him.... NOOOOOOOOO
NO HOW, NO WAY, NO McCAIN. - PGPirate, on 08/28/2008, -12/+213"Does not compute"
"Does not compute"
"9/11"
"Does not compute"

- Deadpixel1221, on 08/28/2008, -8/+199LAWN GET OFF MY KIDS
- jvill, on 08/28/2008, -18/+184C'mon guys, be fair...
It's not John McCain's fault the Alzheimers is kicking in and he honestly can't remember what honor means. The man is asking someone to read it back to him from his books because he can't remember what he wrote in them either.
Maybe Senator Graham or Lieberman can whisper it in his ears.
At least Senator McCain still has his hearing. (For now.) - neognostic, on 08/28/2008, -15/+178@realhyperx - So you are just ignorant, because anybody that believes Obama is a communist, would be ignorant.
- akula89, on 08/28/2008, -10/+171You were a very enthusiastic supporter of the invasion of Iraq and, in the early stages, of the Bush Administration's handling of the war. Are those judgments you'd like to revisit?
"Well, my record is clear. I believe that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein. I believe it's clear that he had every intention to acquire and use weapons of mass destruction. I can only imagine what Saddam Hussein would be doing with the wealth he would acquire with oil at $110 and $120 a barrel."
Does McCain think people are so stupid? News Flash: Oil would not BE at a $120 a barrel if the invasion of Iraq had not occurred. What a pathetic man John McCain is. - sharpfork, on 08/28/2008, -8/+161McCain was not willing to answer any questions that might contracdict what he wrote in his books. He is so full of ***** at this point that he is not able to differentiate between what he really believes and the ***** he is spewing as a presidential candidate. Like his attack on Obama for wanting to be president out of "ambition" which was later found in McCain's book to be the reason he wanted to be president.
He doesn't want to let those pesky beliefs get in the way of the Karl Rove driven ***** machine.
McCain must have felt like the reporter was personally attacking him by bringing up something McCain sold out to be the standard bearer of the GOP- Honor. - freeth1nker, on 08/28/2008, -7/+153The ironic thing is "honor" has been a running theme in the McCain campaign. ...Honor, a word he can't define. So if a voter wants to know what the hell he means every time he uses the word, he/she must read his five books to get an answer? Wow, what a bunch of *****. ...And there are people out there who are going to vote for this moron.
- greatgran1, on 08/28/2008, -9/+141John McCain is just an old soldier nowadays.His time has past,due to the swift-boating by his own party.When Joe Lieberman is the only one he actually trusts as a running mate,the GOP certainly doesn't want him giving off the cuff interviews.He can't straight talk about what was in his 5 books.Did he actually pen and proofread? Can he remember what's in them? Sen.McCain will be told who his running mate will be,how his campaign will be run,what to read when he rallies,use the patent stump answers with the quips,,jokes,and stories he has told often over the years,other than that, for the sake of the party,keep your mouth shut. The inevitable will be Johns fate, and he can thank George Bush, Cheney and Rove for this......as Gen MacArthur said "Old soldiers never die,they just fade away".
- cadmiumpaint, on 08/28/2008, -3/+134as a liberal i respected McCain in 2000 because he was going against his own party of crazy bible thumping neocons and offering a different voice.
now he's just a sellout who's pandering to the same people that he was rebelling against. - miamidolfan13, on 08/28/2008, -16/+145Remember that McCain is a POW. You can't criticize him.
- kingUssop, on 08/28/2008, -10/+138"Do I know you? [Says with a laugh.]
[Long pause.] I'm very happy with the way our campaign has been conducted, and I am very pleased and humbled to have the nomination of the Republican Party."
Does anyone get this weird feeling Karl Rove has some kind of zombie control serum? - Mikey129, on 08/28/2008, -7/+131Old man yells at clouds.
- samirms, on 08/28/2008, -3/+116wow....Grandpa needs a nap.
- brandonchicago, on 08/28/2008, -4/+114It's like the McCain who was around in 2000 was thrown in a pit and replaced with the new Republican Mega Droid McCain.
- vade79, on 08/28/2008, -11/+115RealHyperX, there are a lot of you...and I use to hate you for being so illogical, but now I want to see how much worse it can get because of you, tool's song said it best "i'm praying for tidal waves.". Just can't fight the stupidity of majority...so let's ride this ***** out together, pal.
- jimbecile, on 08/28/2008, -6/+105come on, you guys. repudiating everything you've built your character & popularity on to run the lyingest, dirtiest campaign since Nixon is mavericky.
http://i37.tinypic.com/16jlu2c.jpg - Insightful, on 08/28/2008, -4/+99You cannot ask him to define honor or even answer a question.
In seriousness, he spent five and half years in a prison cell. Hasn't he had enough so that we must not ask him tough questions?
/sarcasm
More "I am a POW" here: http://www.236.com/news/2008/08/27/tonight_show_au ... - creativeagentva, on 08/28/2008, -8/+97This guy is unbelievable..and frankly very scary. If this guy gets elected we're really in for it, and the rest of the world knows it, and our enemies can't wait to bury us. Arrogance, non-transparency and corruption at its best. But its ok, I'll forgive him..he was a POW.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -6/+80Any interview with mccain should start with the obligatory POW question so it cant be used as a crutch later in the interview.
- sapphire9488, on 08/28/2008, -14/+88I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would vote for this man.
- SenorCardgage74, on 08/28/2008, -13/+86@flink405
I swear to Christ every time one of you ignorant ***** uses the word "liberal" as a pejorative I just want to abandon calm reason and rabbit-punch you in the ***** throat.
*****. - somberlaine, on 08/28/2008, -3/+72spot on....he soured big time. He just wants the WH so bad...Do you really want to elect someone like that?
- richirwin, on 08/28/2008, -2/+67Strange, to say the least.
Maybe his meds hadn't kicked in.
But the reason he didn't want to answer the "define honor" question is because he doesn't know how his ghost writer defined it in "his" books. - dBass, on 08/28/2008, -8/+71Let's face it, Sen. McCain, circa 1998, was a moderate on most issues and fairly reasonable. Repug candidate McSame is spineless, backstabbing, whore.
- Wakkyweed, on 08/28/2008, -20/+82Because Obama is black, and a large portion of Americans are very reluctant to vote for a black man, no matter what his policies are. Face it, America is still badly dogged by racism.
- rashawty, on 08/28/2008, -3/+60And the worst part about him not being crushed in the polls is the fact that he say's he agrees with bush who has the lowest approval rating ever.
- cadmiumpaint, on 08/28/2008, -4/+57its not so much withholding as it is a complete contempt and unwillingness to have anything to do with the press.
why do agree to do an interview if you don't want to do one? - OrigamiRonin, on 08/28/2008, -5/+58Stupidity knows no boundaries.
- elliam, on 08/28/2008, -2/+53echos of rudy "911" juliani...
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -4/+55Excellent. I want a raging prick in the White House. Someone who might just declare war on Canada if the Maple Leafs beat the Bruins.
- Vic333, on 08/28/2008, -7/+54Wow! He just comes across as ... senile. Like answers were just copy and pasted onto questions that don't apply. Copied from what, I couldn't say.
- ProjectGSX, on 08/28/2008, -4/+51Unfortunately, he will get some votes simply by being white.
- ironhide, on 08/28/2008, -4/+51He did agree to the interview didn't he? He got pissed off because it wasn't going to be some fluff piece.
- bushisafag, on 08/28/2008, -48/+94Americans, particularly in the south, are stupid. They don't read or have any intellectual curiosity, just like George W. Dickboy and McDouchebag. Americans in "red" states relate easily to these two morons. They are intimidated by an intellectual who does scary things like read books and...think.
- WasabiBomb, on 08/28/2008, -2/+48The debates next month should be very entertaining. I'm really expecting McCain to throw a temper tantrum on live TV.
- threepm, on 08/28/2008, -31/+77OBAMA / BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT!
- damndj, on 08/28/2008, -2/+47KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN
- WasabiBomb, on 08/28/2008, -1/+45Read the damn interview. We don't have to do your work for you.
- Kamacurus, on 08/28/2008, -8/+50please please please do not let him be the next president, he is exactly what we don't need.
- diggduggDOOM, on 08/28/2008, -2/+42John McCain's multiple choice easy answer key:
A. Read my book(s).
B. Check with my staff.
C. I was a P.O.W. -
