If I hear Tweety or one more MSNBC "pundit" call McCain a "Maverick" I will puke!

:puke:

Here is why Tweety and Tom Brokaw and Tim Russert and both O'Donnells just about everyone else at MSNBC is using the word Maverick over and over again when referring to John McCain.

The use of the word has gotten so bad, I am beginning to suspect that NBC's parent company gets a new Pentagon contract every time someone at that network utters to word. (Kind of like the movie Idiocracy in which the cabinet members get paid to say "Brought to you by Carl's Jr.". )

Hurray to Richard Wolfe for being the only MSNBC pundit to refuse to call McCain a "maverick".

Boo to KO for devoting 10 minutes last night to celebrating McCain's "independence." At least he did not use the word "maverick." I guess that makes KO an MSNBC maverick.

Remember, the corporate media is a Big Fat Liar.

1. Oh, I heard "our liberal friends" at NPR refer to him as a "maverick" yesterday...

there are goddamn shills EVERYWHERE framing him in such a way

[McCamy Taylor]

2. Puke!

:puke:

3. Be kind to Tweety - he is in love!

[Bucky]

4. He's not just a maverick. He's a straight shooter. He walks the walk. He's a war hero.

Mmmmm... and he smells as good as Fred Thompson.

7. Ewww!

:puke:

5. Sadly, my own mother has bought the whole "maverick" thing hook line and sinker

:(

McCain is her pro-life choice. :eyes: Let's just say it makes for awkward conversations....

6. Heres your "maverick" McCain:

8. I wonder if I emailed Media Matters if they would keep track of how many times NBC says "maverick"?

9. mancrush

tweety is too full of himself and always had a mancrush on mccain. good thing with mccain though,it will lead to the destruction of the republican party. We're seeing happen right before our eyes with dobson, coulter, limbaugh

10. No, he was for Rudi, until MSNBC found out Rudi was for Fox News.

That sank Rudi's campaign because the other corporate media companies were not about to elect a mobster whose FCC would always favor Murdoch. Then, they had to scrounge for a candidate and found McCain.

The man crush story is a Big Lie. Matthews supports whomever his bosses tell him to. He pretends to be giddy with love to hide the fact that he does this for cold blooded, calculated reasons. He can turn it on or off at will. Do not be fooled.

Pentagon loves McCain. GE loves the Pentagon. GE tells NBC what to do. Matthews does it.

That the THE MATH.

12. You're probably right. I still think he put more enthusiasm in both Rudy & McCain

[damntexdem]

11. Hey, he's a bona fide maverick -- exactly as he was manufactured by the GOP.

And he displays every bit of the sincerity that he can fake up.

[Neecy]

13. it's repulsive

And Tweets has not only been trumpeting him as a 'maverick' tonight, but 'possibly the first maverick since Teddy Roosevelt to win the Republican nomination'.

How over the top is that? McCain=TR. Talk about puke...

[northzax]

14. but he's just like Maverick

a cocky, off the rails fighter jock. It looks good on film, unfortunately, if you choose to rise with him, you will die from his hubris-driven mistakes.

If john mccain is maverick, we're all Goose, he should listen to us, but he wants that macho so much...you remember what happened to Goose, don't you? And not the bit on the Hawaiian beach with 'over the rainbow' playing, either. Nothing that peaceful.

16. Give KO a break.

He didn't "celebrate McCain's independence" that I heard. Then again, maybe you watch a different show.

[McCamy Taylor]

17. Yes he did. A whole segment about how Rush and the traditional conservatives

think that McCain is too moderate and independent and how they will not support him. Since people like Rush are the "enemy" on KO's show, it was "The enemy of my enemy must be ok."

Very slick way for someone like KO who usually mocks McCain for his waffling to make him out to be a "maverick" (without using the word) to his core audience.

It is the effect that counts on TV.
