John McCain Disses Sarah Palin on 'The Tonight Show'
This is a strange one. John McCain goes on Jay Leno's program last night, and, without any real prompting, takes a shot at his former running mate. Watch:
Really, what gives? Would it have hurt McCain to have included Sarah Palin's name in the list of non-Rush-Limbaugh-GOP talent? The category was Republican governors, too. So there can be no mistaking who he chose to omit. "I've left out someone's name, and I'm going to hear about it..." Gee, ya think?
The whole "I don't want the president to fail" thing would have been the headline were it not for the incredibly odd diss on the woman he once touted as knowing "more about energy than probably anyone else in the United States of America." I guess the Arizona Senator has changed his mind.

The senile old bozo left himself out of the last campaign as well. What a choice we had, an old man who didn't appear to want to win and a young unqualified political set-up from the democrat/Chicago political scene. In the end we all lost.

He would have did worse if she hadn't been on his ticket.No rep was going to win anyway after the way Obama's team could trash Hillary. They are experts at tearing other canidates apart-while making him look the savior,with the help of the media.

Bush was such a good president that they named a good beer after him
I'm sure you're drinking it right now.
i wisht busch were still precedent. at leest i still has his beer.
I wish Bush was still president, at least I still have his beer.
Busch beer has been around much much longer, though that can be debated which came first.
This was either a horribly constructed comment or deliberate, in which case, nice job!
But if not, you are a moron.
Honestly, that Palin was not listed doesn't surprise me. It's no surprise that McCain and his staff harbor ill feelings towards her. Were it not for her, I'm sure McCain would have won, even though I was rooting for Obama (who is not a Muslim, get over it).

McCain is a traitor from Nam on. He needs to go home to Arizona and take the Obamas with him. He couldnt hold Palins purse.

Please with this the media is on Obama's side crap. It's amazing that during the primary and general election all you heard about from the media on Obama was Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers over and over and over and over again. These stories I don't believe helped Obama. He got more negative coverage than McCain did. When McCain's top economic advisor called Americans a bunch of whiners and said that Americans were only going through a mental recession, that story came and went in a matter of days but Wright and Ayers played on and on for months, so give me one massive MUTHERF**KING BREAK with that crap!!!!!!!

Personally, I think it was an innocent omission. I think he said "I've left someone's name out and I will hear about it" because he knew he was forgetting someone. I am not a fan of McCain, but in this instance, I don't think it was an intentional slam.

Hello "lighted" -- or should I say UNENlighted. Think George W. Bush in how he ran HIS campaign...how he trashed John McCain in 2000 saying he was mentally unstable, how he trashed John Kerry, calling him a traditor, when Kerry was in Vietnam and had silver and bronze metals for bravery. Where was George W. Bush during Vietnam? Hiding out--AWOL--couldn't be found. How soon the republicans forget or are too stupid to see the facts. The facts are that President Obama achieved something that we, as Americans, should be very proud of. What have you achieved? Before you make stupid remarks, think about the face you see in the mirror. LOSER!

jim- How stunningly erudite of you to characterize thoughtful, decent and conservative Americans as total uneducated boobs! Are you, perchance, a writer for the New York Times, or are you on the staff of one of the mainstream media outlets such as NBC, CBS, etc.? I think I recognize your patronizing tone! Please, let us know who you truly, most sincerely are! I think a journalism award from USC is in your future!

OBAMA's team did not bash anyone -- they stated facts. It was the mccain team with the loser running mate, sarah palin, that did all the trashing of people. mccain was omitting her name because he did not want her to begin with. She is a fake. OBAMA is keeping his campaign promises and the republicans cannot figure this out -- they act like everything he has done has been in their face and new -- all the while it has been just keeping his promises. Of course the republicans are looking for anything to bash this new and improved administration for -- they have nothing else to say for their party. A sinking ship!

If you haven't figured that out by now, you sure as heck aren't smart enough to run the country.
