- chawkie, on 05/10/2008, -12/+429If you watch the video he fixed it in like 2 seconds and was multitasking when he grabbed it, so as much as I would like to call him senile, it was something anyone could have done.
- ObamaWins08, on 05/10/2008, -10/+283Wow, c'mon guys, this is pathetic. If we call McCain out on stuff like this, then we deserve everything we get in regards to the whole flag-lapel wearing, star-spangled banner saluting, Rev. Wright-associating scandals we're having to fight. We're better than this... I just hope it doesn't hit front page...
- TheWorm, on 05/10/2008, -7/+153Is this really what we're criticizing him for? If Obama did this we would all just say it was funny because he caught himself quickly and made a joke about it. It's a funny video but no need to attack him for a harmless error.
- swrostmore, on 05/10/2008, -31/+143McCain has flipped more than that microphone...he called Bush dangerous and untrustworthy and said he did not vote for him in 2000. Now he is campaigning on a Bush platform, including supporting Bush tax cuts that he voted against in the Senate.
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -21/+116Your powers are weak old man!
- jedreport, on 05/10/2008, -7/+82totally right. that's why i put the video up, to be completely fair to him. but it's still funny as hell. as i wrote on the page, it's actually rather endearing i think, in a family memory kind of way. i think the way he holds it like a light saber at the end is awesome -- clearly mccain has a sense of humor about himself which is good thing.
- soulkitchen, on 05/10/2008, -14/+85The attached video has a Jeannie Moos voice over. I feel bad for her, she's gets nothing but useless stories. Once upon a time I bet she had high hopes for her journalism career, perhaps to do some hard hitting investigative reporting like a Woodward and Bernstein. Too bad Jeannie we need someone to cover the worlds largest subway sandwich in Idaho, GET ON IT.
- TyroPyro, on 05/10/2008, -2/+57Yeah, it's pretty depressing to think this actually aired on CNN. If you are going to bash on McCain, do it because of his bad policy positions, not because he held an object wrong for 3 seconds.
Come on Digg, you can be better than this crap. - db0255, on 05/10/2008, -14/+52funny, but he's no george bush. george bush would have kept going methinks.
- benmandude, on 05/10/2008, -4/+38Wow, is this what it has come to. Making fun of McCain for picking up a microphone upside down and not realizing it immediately. I think there are better things to laugh at him for.
- AWBoy666, on 05/10/2008, -5/+38Wow.....what a creative attack.....
- patpl22391, on 05/10/2008, -2/+34digg, on the cutting edge of real news!
- Lith25, on 05/10/2008, -4/+32I agree, I hate McCain as much as the next person, but this is not something to make a big deal over.
- dexter411, on 05/10/2008, -1/+27Hilarious. Did you know that Ron Paul (who you are a fan of on Digg) is older than McCain?
- gossipninja, on 05/10/2008, -3/+28yeah this is a non issue. People who say this shows "he is too old/senile" are idiots, During an interview the other day, Obama kept calling Matt Lauer "Tim", he did this repeatedly, and everyone who is saying mcain is a moron here, I would imagine, didn't say word one about that. Frankly, I think this shows mccain has a good sense of humor especially the lightsaber pose at the end.
- richmomz, on 05/10/2008, -4/+29It's not upside down. He is so bad-ass he lets his wang speak for him.
- enakra, on 05/10/2008, -2/+25Come on guys... It was a stupid mistake. How about something substantial?
- inactive, on 05/10/2008, -43/+66Obama doesn't know how to use a phone.

Obama thinks there's 57 States in the Union.

Obama is a dumb mofo. - birthofthecool, on 05/10/2008, -0/+23aaaand front page.... : /
- lamerx, on 05/10/2008, -2/+24oh noes, he made a mistake...
no one reading this has EVER done that - opmike, on 05/10/2008, -1/+21Paul resembles Gandalf so that automatically subtracts 10 years.
- JK1150, on 05/10/2008, -4/+24you guys want reverend wright to go away because it is a non issue and you show this?
- roosterjm2k2, on 05/10/2008, -5/+24You know bush would have had to call an aid over to explain to him no only how to work the mic, but how to play it off nearly as gracefully as that...at least mccain can laugh at himself..
- sambapati87, on 05/10/2008, -3/+21Oh come on if this was Obama this would never have made front page.
- erlkonig64, on 05/10/2008, -3/+21This is dumber than any Rev. Wright based attack on Obama...seriously, get something of substance to get the guy on
- afx1, on 05/10/2008, -4/+21lame. i hope the dems don't embarrass ourselves with petty attacks like this as we near the general election.
- calantus, on 05/10/2008, -1/+17bush campaigned on a no country building policy... lol
- otayyo, on 05/10/2008, -1/+17he deals with it well too.
I cant see how this could harm his credibility. - supermajic, on 05/10/2008, -2/+18Nope Diggers are just retarded.
- Beatlemaniac, on 05/10/2008, -5/+21C'mon, no politician or photographer would let a picture slide featuring the subject holding a phone upside-down. Not even Bush.

And why does one slip-up automatically make someone 'a dumb mofo'? It's not like he and every other candidate haven't been out giving speeches day in and day out. - 47f0, on 05/10/2008, -1/+14Nah, I'm not seriously worried about McCain's age - just his policies. The mike thing, I could have done, and so could you, but he made a rather endearing recovery. He's not a bad man at all - I just don't think he's the president we need.
- radsprack, on 05/10/2008, -1/+14My grandma is a bitch who disowns grandchildren if they sass her the wrong way and said that if Hillary didn't get the candidacy, she would vote for McCain.
- hellsing47, on 05/10/2008, -0/+13Left media sources are saying that John McCain said that he did not vote for Bush in 2000, while John McCain said that isn't true.
Regardless, if John McCain did not vote for Bush in 2000 I'd say he had a pretty good reason. - CTK14A, on 05/10/2008, -23/+36At least he's not waving to Stevie Wonder.
- tidu, on 05/10/2008, -3/+16Every station it's the same.
Women ask me how I put up with it.
Well, the truth is, I don't really have a choice.
This is definitely a man's world.
But while they're laughing and grab-assing,
I'm chasing down leads and practicing my nonregional diction. - sleepwalkers, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12Read what he wrote on the page before you rail against him that hard.
- tones1, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12It will hit front page and go into top 10.
- jedreport, on 05/10/2008, -9/+20My grandma is 15 years older than mccain...and she supports Barack!
- BeefBaron, on 05/10/2008, -3/+13Those wacky Republicans, always fielding senile old gents.
- Olfster, on 05/10/2008, -9/+18Senior moment #9. Can you imagine him getting that middle of the night phone call and speaking into the ear piece? Hello? Hello? Hello? Click... hangs up.
- StinkBait, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10Don't feel bad, they're just typical white people...
- quomen, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9It was a simple mistake but that was a good save. That was pretty funny rofl.
- drmobutu, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10No, no...remember, in 2000, John McCain was too crazy, from his years as a POW, to be President.
Now, thankfully, he has mellowed, and does what we tell him to... - inactive, on 05/10/2008, -2/+11I don't think it was a fail? I was rather amused by this comment.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 05/10/2008, -1/+10You mean attacks like how Obama is a Muslim?
- romistrub, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8Newsflash: respect must be earned
- jedreport, on 05/10/2008, -5/+13Wasn't he born before that?
Oh wait. You're right. 2008-72=1936 -
