Yesterday NBC’s Chuck Todd and Fox News’ Ed Henry were caught on a hot mic joking about Senator John McCain, and obviously McCain isn’t happy about it. His office shot back at Todd today, touting this as further proof of the media’s liberal bias.
In a statement reported by Business Insider, McCain Communications Director Brian Rogers said, “It’s not like further evidence was needed to prove the liberal bias at MSNBC and in the mainstream media, but Chuck Todd’s ‘hot mic’ comments asking if anyone ‘checked on’ Senator McCain for ‘heart palpitations’ over General Petraeus’ remarks on Iraq show just how quickly the media will try and discredit Senator McCain and anyone who questions President Obama.”
Todd and Henry were talking about how McCain was calling for air strikes in Iraq while former General David Petraeus, a man McCain has long heralded, was cautioning against doing anything in that nation. Todd joked, “I’ve got to think McCain must have had heart palpitations.”
However, Rogers pointed to an interview of Petraeus showing support for targeted strikes and took another shot at Todd.
“It should be embarrassing for MSNBC – but likely isn’t – to see that in another interview just one day later General Petraeus said he would support targeted strikes against the ISIS terrorist army in Iraq, which is what Senator McCain has advocated – so no ‘heart palpitations’ necessary.”

Juan Mclame is left of Todd.
It’s just proof of what he really thinks about you when you’re not sucking up to each other.
Never were two people more deserving of a bamboo cage.
McInsane and F Chuck Todd
Johnny, Johnny; the media loves you, remember? You’re the maverick.
Poor lil Jonny boy. It’s fine to let the Marxist statist Obamabots ride dirty on the American public at large but gawd forbid someone makes a little joke about an “insider” like Jonny Budweiser
It wasn’t liberal bias John. It was people making fun of a fool.
McDork,
You are a flaming Ugly Obamshole with the IQ of a public school administrator.
Shove it, silly senate boy.
The IQ of a public school administrator? That’s vicious, Da Coyote, vicious.
Stuff it John. You told us there was nothing to fear from an Obama presidency.
Now eat your peas.
Is there any sentient being who does not understand Chuck Todd to be a politically motivated commentator? Why would McCain even bother to challenge or entertain any pretense of objectivity on Todd’s part?
I don’t mind at all if people who speak want to be biased or politically motivated. I mind a great deal if they lie and spread lies.
Hey Mac! This is the media that you wanted to impress by not using Obama’s middle muslim name. Jeez, what a slow learner.
.
No? Then STHU, McCain!
Honestly..., I’m not going to do it, but I wish someone would just deck McCain and put him out of our misery.
