Cindy McCain complains about unfair media coverage. LOL!
Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, criticized the media at a weekend fundraiser, telling supporters that the hosts of The View “picked our bones clean.”

"In spite of what you see …in the newspapers, and on shows like The View — I don't know if any of you saw The View yesterday, they picked our bones clean — in spite of what you see, that's not what the American people are saying and what they are believing," said McCain, in a recording obtained by ABC News. "They are now seeing a clear difference with these candidates, and they are seeing who is going to make the best president, and that's why we're pulling ahead."

Earlier: CNN's Bill Schneider on Cindy McCain's tough tone at the GOP convention

John McCain had a tough exchange with the hosts of The View during a recent appearance, during which he was pressed on the credentials of running mate Sarah Palin, claims in his campaign ads that co-host Joy Behar called “lies,” and how many houses he and his wife own.

2. How sad that a bunch of comedians
a has-been journalist, and a RW puppet can be said to "pick their bones clean" but our journalists still serve as stenographers.

3. The whining from that side is stunning. If you can't handle questions
from the ladies on The View, then how can you handle Putin?

13. So, they tell lies, somebody calls them on it, then they whine that it's unfair.
That's the whole campaign strategy at this point?

24. Basically, yes. It's the Republican way.
If they get called on their bullshit, it's because of the "Liberal Media."

21. She's just maintaining the whole "Media Unfair to Assholes Like Us" meme
It's maintenance.. have to keep up the illusion that the Media is NOT on their side, while they plunder, lie, pillage, bullshit..

She wears a dress that costs MORE than Most Houses in America for ONE NIGHT, and then has the NERVE to push her doddering co-dependant and his Pet on the rest of us?

Talk about Disconnect!

ONE DRESS while the rest of us are looking at living in the STREET. Like they are FOR the People?

It ain't just her on the pills my friends, I think the whole campaign is on CRACK.

Hey Cindy, try this on for size..

FUCK YOU.

25. Keep the pressure up
Email the usual MSM suspects and keep the pressure up - insist they report the McCain campaign's lies as LIES. Demand they live up to their responsibilities during this election year.

26. Oh go score some new drugs Cindy. If you can't take it then medicate yourself into numbness.
I felt a smidegen sorry for Cindy regarding the latest story about her taking drugs and McCain being a non caring bastard but she just showed herself to be a major major bitch and a whiny crybaby. Mrs. "I need to show up in a new heinous outfit every time you see me" has gotten on my last nerve. IF you guys can't handle the View of all things how can you handle the worlds' problems. Dumb rich bitch.

30. Picked our bones clean, EXCELLENT!!! My fave View moment:
Thanks View ladies for not giving him a free ride like the so-called "journalists" do.

I loved the part when he said he RESPECTS people who disagree with him on the choice issue -- Joy was like, oh so if you respect them to make a different choice, you're pro choice then, right?

LIKE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE US?

I think it can't be said enough: If Sarah Palin had her way, our abortion laws would be the same as Saudi Arabia's & Afghanistan's. And for the same reasons: religious extremists in the government!

33.  When Whoopie asked McCain about putting more Scalia like
judges on the Supreme Court so they could be strict Constitutinalist, she asked did she have to worry about being returned to slavery? His response, Not one of absolutely not that is not what I have in mind but his answer was something like , "I understand"! WTF?


He and Cindy showed their true colors.

34. Is John McCain Too Thin Skinned To Be President?
The media asked this about Obama when the New Yorker ran a controversial cover depicting him as a Muslim, and his wife as a revolutionary. In contrast, Palin is not even mentioned in a comment about putting lipstick on a pick in reference to McCain, and his campaign explodes with outrage over alleged sexism even though McCain himself used this line. Does John McCain have the temperment to be President given his thin skin? Can we really have a President who takes any criticism as a sexist attack on his Vice-President?
