McCain on TDS
Apr. 6th, 2006 02:33 am...what the hell?
John McCain just bombed on The Daily Show. Booooombed. The entire interview is basically several repeats of this exchange:
Stewart: John. Dude. You're endorsing Jerry Fallwell. You! Of all people. No offense, but have you sold out? Are you a hypocritical votewhore TOO? We thought you were better than that. Dude.
McCain: Ha ha! Oh Jon, you wacky funster.
At the end Stewart actually just asks straight out. The following is a direct quote.
McCain: I'm- I'm not gonna change.
Stewart: So you're not- you're not freakin' out on us. Are you freakin' out on us? 'Cause if you're freakin' out-
McCain: Just- just- just a little.
Stewart: -and you're goin' into the crazy-baseworld-- (pause, scattered laughter)
Are you goin' into crazy-baseworld?
McCain: I'm af- I'm afraid so. (laughter)
He's making it into a sadfaced little joke, and the audience laughs, but really he looks and sounds like a depressed Pooh bear. The kind of Pooh bear who's wearing arm warmers and a plastered-on smile to hide that he cuts himself at night. No, really. Look at him. He looks like he's in pain.
What the hell.
P.S. As long as I'm here and it's 2.30am and Jon Stewart is the one man who I'd actually trust with the reins to this country right now, here. It's Stewart's post-9/11 speech, five years ago. I'd never seen it before. Voice of America, man. Why isn't he running for president?
