Poor John. Little does he know the joke's on him. He's the entertainment! Blab on McCain, blab on.

[NittanyLion]

But the GOP maverick then repeated an earlier insult where he described the top talker as "a circus clown," this time adding that Limbaugh "ought to have a sense of humor."

Along similar lines, I hope McCain retains a sense of humor when people describe him as a "pompous a******".

OHMYGAWD where is the arizona ping list?????  McINSANE is BACKKKKKkkkkk Surely this should be the final straw, and maybe these statements are his assault before his party switch!  He may be preparing to join the lefty, Chafee and Jumpin Jim Jeffords if the GOP fails to win in Louisiana, maybe even if they do. If Angelique where still here to fight, it would be she that would send you this warning. No matter, somebody do something fast, while the iron is still hot!

Arizonians, isn't it time to do something about this moron? If you aren't careful, we will all regret that we didn't stop him early.  Why not take a winning page from our Freepers in DC and start a ground swell of support to get attention at his offices in Az., and ask for some help in DC, from the masters. Then quickly convert it to a petition drive you may get him to shut up, or even better drive him from office. Either way we all win.

"GET OUT OF OUR STATE"

McManiac is an elitist. Every time he opens his mouth he sounds more like a Statist Democrat.

Criticizing our elected officials is not only a Right, it is a Responsiblity. Guess he forgot he works for us, and not the other way around.

[AppyPappy]

I think McCain's been in his wife's stash again.

[copycat]

It's amazing how our circus clown does them all in so effectively.

Yes, and how our "moron" out thinks them in virually every political area?

[DandG13]

Maybe I'd have more hope of such an endeavor, except we just voted in butch for Governor. If nothing else, you can guarantee Arizona politicos will continue to make nationwide news (just wish it was in a good way).

[McGruff]

Let's not be to hard on Sen. McInsane.
He's just been out in the sun too long.

Besides, they tell me my poll numbers are good.

[FrogMom]

Now, that is a classic case of being called ugly by a frog!

Now wait a minute!

[Savage Beast]

"a circus clown"

"a great entertainer"

"a stand-up comic in a nightclub"

Remember when McCain told that ugly joke about Chelsea Clinton and Janet Reno??? Then he had to go apologize to Clinton???

That McCain! "He's entertainment" all right! I think he does a great job at it.

(Do you suppose the Clintons "keep a sense of humor"???)

[Savage Beast]

The truth has a way of making fools out of those who assault it.

[Savage Beast]

LOL!!!

[Izzy Dunne]

He did not graduate in the lowest 2% of his Annapolis class by error

I'm sure he'll tell you that he graduated in the top 99% of his class!

Sen. John McCain, R-Az., said late Thursday that he hadn't meant to criticize talk radio host Rush Limbaugh during an interview on Arizona radio earlier in the day.

Of for gosh sake, McCain, ask someone to return your spine. Limbaugh lampooned you mercilessly during your last presidential run, causing you to severely dislike him. Just come out and say it.

[RooRoobird14]

I called McWhiney's office in Tempe today and told them that I had the utmost respect for Rush Limbaugh, who is not only very funny, but one of the few venues in which the news without left-wing bias and censoring can be heard.

The office lackey who answered the phone was an absolutely arrogant and rude @sshole!! He immediately interrupted me, at first denied that McWhiney had said anything, and then retreated, repeating the talking point that Rush is nothing more than "entertainment". I told the lackey that I would never vote for McCain again and looked forward to supporting whichever REAL GOP candidate would kick his egomaniac b*tt out of office. The lackey's reply was, "So what, Senator McCain has 71% approval ratings."

LOL, that guy was HOSTILE, which probably means they were getting a lot of complaint calls yesterday about the McWhiney's latest attention-seeking rant.

Freepers, feel free to express your support of Rush to McWhiney's office by calling 602-952-2410.

[Texbob]

So what is new? Democrap supporter McCain puts his foot in his mouth again. There is only one Senator worse tha McCain and that is Beady Eyed Daschle.

[moonhawk]

But they can't do that....after all, he's only "entertainment."

[Waco]

"Keep those cards and letter comming in." (The sheer volume must be killing em.)

[Let's Roll]

McCain will not make it past the primary in his next election bid.
