Words cannot express my puzzlement of McCain's SNL appearance.....

[RollWithIt]

Uh, wtf? He is throwing the election?

[Phoonzang]

1. This makes him look like a sad loser. nt

[RollWithIt]

11. But hold on... Tina Fey just destroyed his VP candidate Live on National Television...

He and Cindy tried to sell gold necklaces. WTF?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

2. I'm going to get flamed, but I thought he was pretty funny.

[Neecy]

5. I thought it was hilarious

[Tatiana]

6. The pork knives... McCain "Fine Gold" It was funny. n/t

[Barack_America]

22. Plus bonus Cindy! My boyfriend has a nickname for her.

And no, it's not c*. ;)

It's Uruk-hai. As in those scary motherf*ing orcs from the Lord of the Rings. Her eyes really creep him out! :rofl:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

37. She reminded me of the mother in Bridget Jones' Diary looking foolish

hawking jewelry on tv.

[LiberalFighter]

8. I would have to agree.

They actually made McCain look good and bad at the same time.

[BlueStateGirl]

9. I thought some of it was funny. The Palin 2012 stuff was hilarious.

[JohnnyLib2]

16. agreed

[Doctor_J]

10. He actually has (or had) a decent sense of humor

his campaign has been pathetic

[Starbucks Anarchist]

13. And his delivery is pretty good for a non-actor.

[j_sunne]

Bleh

He's just trying to salvage his Maverick (tm) image with his elitest NY friends.

[KathieG]

15. I'll admit it was kinda funny.

[rurallib]

21. funnier than hell and humiliating as hell for Johnny72

[progressivebydesign]

29. When McCain isn't being a nasty jerk, he's pretty funny. But the trouble is..

you never know which John you're getting. He's funny and charming when he wants to be..

[lady raven]

31. I thought so too, and as I said in another thread, I think this is the

most comfortable he has ever looked standing next to Sarah Palin. LOL

[WCGreen]

36. I thought it was really funny as well...

[LostinVA]

39. Haruka and I were laughing so hard we were almost crying

She didn't know that was Cindy McCain until I told her.

PORK KNIVES!!!

He knows he'slosing -- it was strange timing!

[ElboRuum]

3. Um, yeah, I think he is.

I'm listening to it right now. I think he knows he's toast.

[MarthaMyDear]

4. I know...how could this possibly HELP him?

[Essene]

7. i missed the start... what happened?

[lovelydem]

17. I thought it was really funny too, and he did great job (way better

than Palin)

But I don't think election wise it was good for the campaign.

The palin 2012 shirts made it seem like they really do think they will lose

It came off as he was making fun of his running mate etc.

[RollWithIt]

23. Well, this is going to be hard to digest.... but here is what happened

But basically McCain and Tina Fay (As Palin) did a QVC sales special. McCain sold things like steak knives(to cut Pork), Gold Necklaces (Cindy stood behind them and did a sales presentation!) and Tina basically destroyed Palin in between his sales presentations. There was even a part where she cut off McCain and he just stood there acting upset. At one point, Tina (Palin) walked away, camera went on her, and she announced she was going rogue for this segment of the QVC special and held up a Palin 2012 T-Shirt. Flash back to McCain... he laughed!

[dougtaylor]

27. The best part of the tshirt sales pitch was McCain at the end. . .

"uh, uh Sarah, what're you doing over there?"

He knows he's toast, no matter what the Baghdad Bob's say on his behalf.

First post, don't savage me too much.

[RollWithIt]

30. OMG, FIRST POST!!! WELCOME!

Too cool. lol.

[MarthaMyDear]

32. Hello! Welcome to DU!

:hi:

Seems like he's trying to come to terms with the loss...and take Palin down with him,hahaha!

[renate]

38. welcome to DU!

:hi:

[Jennicut]

12. McLame knows its over and wants to get into the media's good graces again

Maybe he will be the next Huckabee.

[sfam]

14. I disagree. McCain was a frickin riot. I don't think it helps him much but still...

I don't think it hurts him either.

Bottom line, I'm just glad they only let this McCain out of the bottle twice. Had he run like this instead of the "Get off my lawn" angry man, he'da been LOTS closer.

[slinkerwink]

18. it was the "I've already lost so I can make fun of myself" phase

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

19. He conceded. That actually is sort of maverick. (What was Palin thinking watching it?)

[Tatiana]

20. Don't forget - Ben Affleck is gonna do Keith O in a segment, I think. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

24. It was funny, and it is a comedy show. He did well. Nobody will vote against him because Tina

held up a t-shirt

[dflprincess]

25. He's beginning his rehabilitation

and part of that rehabilitation is to tacitly admit that Palin was a mistake.

[LostinVA]

40. That's what I think, too

"Forget me hugging Bush in 2004, and Sarah -- Sarah who????"

[AldebTX]

26. I Don't Think It Made Him Look Very Presidential

and I have not seen him make an appearance anywhere without Cindy McCain within 5 feet. I swear she was on stage during the debates....

[vanderBeth]

28. Sadly, it was one of the funnier skits this year.

[Alhena]

33. Wasn't presidential, but he was a good sport and came off fine- no impact on race

but give him some credit for a sense of humor.

[ROh70]

34. McCain was funny, but very UN-presidential.

Did he look like the next president of the United States or did he look like Ralph Nader?

[IsItJustMe]

35. It didn't help him any, but I laughed. Sad Grampa reminded me of the commercial he put out that

Obama isn't ready yet.
