McCain: Hillary Would Be Good President

NewsMax.com ^ | Feb. 20, 2005 | Carl Limbacher

[Carl/NewsMax]

Maverick Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday that his New York colleague, Sen. Hillary Clinton, would do well if she becomes president of the United States.

"I am sure that Sen. Clinton would make a good president," McCain told NBC's "Meet the Press," as both he and Clinton were being interviewed from Baghdad.

While noting that as a Republican, he'll be supporting the GOP nominee in 2008, McCain reiterated, "I have no doubt that Sen. Clinton would make a good president."

Asked whether she thought McCain would make a good president, Sen. Clinton was somewhat less effusive, responding tersely, "Absolutely" - before erupting in her familiar cackle.

I saw it. Wanted to puke...

[Dog Gone]

Either one as President would be a disaster on an epic scale.

[sure_fine]

better check their hiney's for hicky's

[MikefromOhio]

wow....

and I always thought McCain had more tact too....thats the end of that....

[Montfort]

Angling for a VP spot on some bipartisan "Dream Team"?

Sure, she would make a good President, in the same way that Stalin made a good General Secretary.

[mad_as_he$$]

Once again "Ace" proves his marbles are all mixed up!

[ken21]

ick.

barry young on radio kfyi will have fun with that one!

[Drango]

McCain thank you for your service...now STFU.

[El Oviedo]

Looks like these two are positioning themselves for 2008.

The question - If both wants to govern this nation, one being the candidate for President and the other as Vice, would you vote for the team?

I won't! What say you?

[drt1]

Would someone please wake me after these Self Congratulatory, Self Promoting Media Absorbed A$$holes stop fawning over each other. What a stupid question!

[cynicom]

Flim and Flam are in Iraq together???

[Zacs Mom]

John McCain

[maine-iac7]

hiney... hicky's

LOLLOFLHHO

_{little ole lady laying on the floor laughing her hiney off}

[Question Liberal Authority]

If the choice is between Hillary, Kerry or Edwards, I'd probably prefer Hillary as well.

[cgbg]

John McCain--The Manchurian Candidate.

[EternalVigilance]

Your pic is proof.

Put lipstick on a RINO, and it's still a RINO...

[raybbr]

Every time I see this guy:

I think of this guy:

[drt1]

A genuine Hobson's Choice for sure.

[Osage Orange]

Ugh....

That just brought bile to the back of my throat...

McCain is nuts.

[little jeremiah]

Any remaining vestige of respect for McCain just evaporated. What a drooling fool, what a traitor, what a sycophant, what a slimeball.

I hope he loses his next re-election. In a landslide. What are the idiots in AZ thinking?

[Missouri]

McCain is always angling for the middle.

What burns me up is that the media is always is quoting him. There are many more Senators I'd like to hear before this guy.

[longfellow]

"Absolutely" - before erupting in her familiar cackle, then jumped on her broom and took off with her flying monkeys to go throw ashtrays at her husbands head.

[Embraer2004]

Neither of them will ever become President

[mad_as_he$$]

lol

[EternalVigilance]

Neither of them will ever become President

I totally agree.

[Libloather]

Hillary may need to learn how to smile first. Maybe it's a jet lag thang...

[DCPatriot]

Where's Jeffrey Dahmer when we need him?

[FormerACLUmember]

The true Manchurian Candidate speaks.

McCain is a really sick dude, very ambitious, amoral, and mad as a hatter.

[steveegg]

Why am I not surprised that McShame would endorse Hiliary?

[cripplecreek]

You can put lipstick on a RINO but it's still a RINO.

[JOE43270]

I really respect Senator McCain for his Service to America and what he went through as a POW. My problem is that he reminds me at times of the origional movie called the Manchurian Canidate. He is a liitle scary sometimes and I wish he would retire.

[LibKill]

McCain must be brain-damaged.

[ken21]

maybe the president of the united states could send singer bono and this bozo on a permanent united nations tour of the world!

[drt1]

"Where's Jeffrey Dahmer when we need him?"

I think he's alive and well in the Dem Party. I seem to recall something about them 'Eating their own'.

[Let's Roll]

Was going to say he was the most unstable pol on the national scene but there are so many ...

[little jeremiah]

Now if only both could go back to being private citizens asap.

[Grampa Dave]

Where was/is your barf bag warning before reading this?:

"better check their hiney's for hicky's"

[Fast1]

McCain is on Acid!!

[aspiring.hillbilly]

I didnt see it and still wanted to blow my breakfast all over the keyboard. Why is the Republican party tollerating this moron? He needs to be kicked to the curb and let the demonrats have his sorry assss...!!

[white trash redneck]

I always take Newsmax with a grain of salt, but this comment is consistent with RINO McCain's perennial pandering to the media to come off as a "maverick." Personally, I think he's batty.

I think that McCain wants to run for the GOP nomination in 2008, and it's comments like this, among many others, that make that nomination a long shot. If (when) he loses, he'll have another tantrum like he did in 2000, and may run as a third party candidate to try to screw the GOP. However, if he runs, I think he'll draw as many votes from RATs as he does from Republicans, and may have a fairly minor effect on the outcome.

[OldSmaj]

It's possible that McCain was misquoted.

Let me reveal here, the actual quote:

While noting that as a Republican in name only, he'll be supporting the GOP nominee in 2008, but will not miss a chance to criticize and denigrate.

McCain reiterated that he is an idiot and sincerely hopes the gullible public will not see him for the misguided miscreant that he is.

He went on to point out that he has been fooling his constituents for so long, that a few more years won't matter.

I wouldn't want him to be misunderstood.

This posting should have had a RINO alert.

[television is just wrong]

McCain wants to be her VP, is my guess.

[KJC1]

I am not in the least surprised.

While "campaigning" for President Bush, McCain stated that Kerry would make a good president when he was asked a similar question to the one he was asked of Hillary.

[Socratic]

I'm sure McCain would be a man if he had the gonads. One can only speculate what went on with him in Vietnam.

[marktwain]

What are the idiots in AZ thinking?

Well, we had a Recall McCain movement going when 9/11 hit. Our Old Media is very Liberal, and all the MSM love McCain. Plus, whenever you talk about his nutso, anti-Constitutional antics, people say "Well, he's a war hero!"

Believe me, there are a lot of people in Arizona who are fed up with McPain.

[bill1952]

The media will always do the maximum amount that they possibly can to portray him badly to Republicans because he will be on the 08 ticket, and here's the kicker:

He will be on the GOP ticket, but he darn well might be the VP.

Think Rice/McCain. And that will beat Hillary/Richardson.

[LauraleeBraswell]

""Maverick Republican Sen. John McCain""

A Maverick? Why? He's pro life and pro gun. He's a backstabber not a Maverick.
