McCain takes shot at Christiane Amanpour

[Enrique]

he must be pissed, this is the first episode of a Sunday talk show, on any channel, that McCain hasn't been a guest on.

Well, we know at least one person who is in the Jake Tapper camp.

Senator John McCain took to Twitter Monday afternoon to weigh in on Christiane Amanpour's debut on ABC's "This Week."

His critique was short and to the point:

"Anyone else miss @jaketapper yesterday?"

Ouch. Tapper, ABC News' White House correspondent, ably filled in as interim host of the program until Amanpour debuted.

2. Because there certainly isn't anything IMPORTANT that the old fart could be doing...

Gawd, he's my Senator; I'm so sorry, USA. :puke:

6. Ditto.

But better him than Hayworth....and that puts such a bitter taste in my mouth to have to say that!!


on edit- make that foul taste.

3. Please, he's not the first. They are afraid of her.

They are lining up to slander her because she won't take any shit. Too bad she won't last. America doesn't want journalists they want "infotainment".

7. *nodding*

She's a journalist...in the original and respected sense of the word.

Not in the definition of what passes for journalism today. And she's a dying breed.

Yes, they're scared.

4. Did I miss something? What's his problem with her? nt

[Enrique]

5. she's a different kind of journalist

McCain likes the kind that has been fawning all over him for years. Terry Moran, Chris Matthews, Cokie Roberts, etc.

8. In other words, no donuts and kisses for him. Got it, thanks, I thought

there had been a confrontation or something.

9. I see that old McCain charm is shining through.

:sarcasm:

10. Let's not be so hard on McCain. I'm sure when he

grows up he'll learn to be a lot less self-important.

11. "McCain is a misogynist" is the ultimate "Sun to rise in east tomorrow" headline!
