McCain snaps: "Finished" discussing campaign.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — A frustrated Sen. John McCain snapped Wednesday when asked by CNN about his troubled presidential campaign and vowed he would no longer answer questions on that topic.

“I’m not going to talk about my campaign anymore,” McCain said in a sharp tone. “I’m finished with talking about it. I’ve talked about it for two weeks. I will not discuss it or any aspect of it. Thank you.”

McCain’s patience may have been worn thin by his lack of sleep as he managed the Defense authorization bill through the wee hours of the morning.

The question that triggered McCain’s response was whether or not he was going to keep a scheduled meeting Wednesday with his congressional supporters to explain why his campaign is not in dire condition. Eileen McMenamin, the Arizona Republican’s spokeswoman, declined to elaborate whether McCain would no longer talk – ever – about his campaign or just not talk about it while in the Capitol. But she did say he remains a candidate and will be back on the trail next week – with reporters in tow.

Just what we need, an even crazier person in the White House.

4. I'm no political expert
But when a candidate refuses to talk about his own campaign, that's usually not a good sign.

5. Good
Let him snap back in anger at an inquiry. Let everyone see and hear his famous temper flares.
Expose this guy for what he is.
And what he is is toast. :)

6. Sylvia Brown says you have to tell a ghost that hangs around
that, "you're dead" and to "cross over to the other side." She said a wondering ghost thinks they are alive and doesn't realize they are dead.

McCain is a dead man, Bush killed him off in 2000 but McCain doesn't know it yet.

Will someone close to him do him a favor and tell him to cross over?

8. Well he's just shown why he ain't ever gonna be president
Friggin looney tune.

Saw him with Jon Stewart a month or so back and he was seething. Barely held it together and he kept referring to Stewart as "my friend" through tightly clenched teeth. I thought the veins in his neck were gonna pop.

11. McCain became one fickled soul
One must respect his war sacrifices.

But McCain killed himself with his pro-amnesty, pro-Iraq War, pro-business, and his fickled positions that went from opposition to unfettered support for Bush. The Democratic Party candidates would be wise to understand just how deep the opposition to amnesty and the immigration issue goes, as it crosses all party lines.

The American citizens want to regain control of our country from the US Chamber of Commerce.

16. He's running for the white house, but...will not discuss his campaign
I find this little comment interesting:

McCain’s patience may have been worn thin by his lack of sleep as he managed the Defense authorization bill through the wee hours of the morning.

WTF did he manage? It should have said "Weary from f**king the troops once again, while enabling the little fascist in the White House."

17. Yep. He's finished.
He's been finished for a while. That will teach him to cast his lot with the junta and its war.
