New McCain Interview

The Interview

Here’s a brief transcript of a recent John McCain interview:

Interviewer: “Senator McCain are you a football fan?”

McCain: “Well as you know, I was a prisoner of war and wasn’t allowed to be a fan of football for many years.”

Interviewer: “I can understand that. What about music? What type do you like to listen to?”

McCain:” Well, in addition to being a prisoner of war, I was also a POW. I don’t know if you knew that. Back then, the only music I had was when I whistled.”

Interviewer: “We can skip over that then. I understand that you and your wife own 4 homes and some investment properties. Why didn’t you just come out and say that?”

McCain: “Well, I suppose you could of just checked the Google. Then you would have your answer and also know that for years as a Prisoner of War I didn’t even have a table nevermind a house.”

Interviewer: “In closing Senator, is there anything else you’d like to say?”

McCain: “In my years as a POW, Prisoner of War, I know what character is about. I think you should vote for me for President because, you know, I was a Prisoner of War. POW.”

McCain: “A POW.”

The Disclaimer

Before you get your knickers in a twist, I am grateful to John McCain and the other men & women who have ensured the freedom and safety of this country. They have served nobly and with honor. We are blessed that service men and women will risk life and limb for all of us.

That said, you have to admit being a POW shows amazing character and resolve but it does not qualify you to be the President of the United States. Enough already, Senator.

  1. No doubt, Mr. McCain has done his duty (40 years ago) but he’s going to have to lean on some different answers. I can’t seem to like either of our choices this election.

  2. Mike,

    Sharing this post with my carpool this morning led to a 45 minute discussion on both candidates. Well done!

    I, too, thought you were making it up at first. The carpool and I determined his POW answers must be his “fall back” answers when he just doesn’t know what else to say.

    Thanks for sharing!

  3. I must concede that I am jealous - I often wish we could boast of such smirk-inducing interviews in Britain.

  4. Wow, I’d feel better if you told me you’d made that up…

  6. I’m shocked….another bashing of a great American. The Democratic Party has sunk so low.

    Get out of the gutter!
