| Friday afternoon on Fox News, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) delivered his first on-camera apology to his Senate colleagues Rand Paul (R-KY) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) for calling them “wacko birds” in an interview with The Huffington Post following Paul’s filibuster. Responding to a question from Neil Cavuto about his recent confrontations with the younger generation of his party, McCain offered a humble and sincere apology. “In an interview I said that Senator Paul and Senator Cruz were ‘wacko birds,’” he said. “That was inappropriate. I apologize
|
Comments: I could barely get through this interview. Neil was overly respectful of McCain to the point it was annoying. McCain laughed (you can just hear him) when he said he apologized to Paul and Cruz. Allegedly he just wants everthing to be like when Reagan was president and presents himself to be a Reagan Republican. He´s the last person on earth I would call a Reagan Republican.

Still waiting for an apology to Billy Cunningham, whom he chastised at the time for referring to his opponent as "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" while warming up the crowd before an early campaign appearance. As I recall, he said THAT was inappropriate.

I´m greatful for his service in the armed services but I hold this man partly responsible for misrepresening himself WAY OVER the top to get the 2008 GOP nomination, then running such terrible no teeth campaign. He has a hand in putting Obama in office and heling to destroy tis nation.

McCain acted like a man and apologized. It´s sickening that the far right wastes so much time acting like 5 year olds calling McCain juvenile names. When are they going to apologize for the years of ridicule and besmirching they gave to a Navy pilot who gave five years of his life in a POW camp ? Limbaugh and Mark Levin always lead the charge against Senator McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham. Both men have served their country in uniform. Unlike Limbaugh and Levin. McCain and Graham both deserve respect , as do all members of the military. McCain ,the duly elected Senator from Arizona , is not the problem. Obama is the problem. The far right is so blinded by their hatred of all things Republican , they have lost sight of the real threat to America. Justin Amash, the Palestinian Congressman and darling of the Tea Party from Michigan recently called McCain a racist and demanded that he apologize for making a joke about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The far right has become the new left.

#23
A lot of people served their country - that doesn´t automatically make them good people "deserving of respect".
McCain is part of the GOPe that prefers their death grip on second place to doing what is best for the country. They are not conservative, they have their own sets of rules that maintain their special status. They rule this country like potentates - granting themselves ever more power while keeping up what front they feel is necessary to keep them where they are. Why did the people of Arizona keep this man in office?
I´m sick of these "senators for life". Both parties are corrupt and want to keep it that way. This is why both parties trashed Sarah - she would have ruined their gravy train that we pay for.

#23 – Yes, Obama and his policies are the problem. Unfortunately McCain and Graham are too weak and pliable to counter Obama’s policies. To protect their perceived power they foolishly mistake compromise for statesmanship.
I am closer in age to McCain and Graham than Ryan. I’ve observed the effect of mid-life crisis as ‘old guys’ realize their power is being challenged by the ‘kids’. Those who have remained emotionally secure and value driven look for opportunities to mentor and encourage the youngsters. They share their knowledge and wisdom.
Those who have lived only for their own status, power and egos tend to snap and snarl at their younger colleagues in an attempt to minimize them. Even if they were rock solid on policy, Senators McCain and Graham would be snapping and snarling at anyone or anything that challenges their status. Their fear of fading into history overwhelms any principles they once held.

John, poor apology. But that is between you and those you stabbed in the back (berated) Take care and think twice next time you speak what little mind you have remaining. Sarah Palin put herself out on a limb when she endorsed you in your run for Az. US Senator. DO NOT disappoint this remarkable woman. She walked thru fire for you, has a lot on the line to see your success. Try your best not to let her down. This, ´my friend´ is the only plus I can recall when any of your more positive accomplishments are mentioned.

Okay, I´m fed up with the POW, gave 5 years of his life, war hero, etc. bullcrap about this POS senator.
Just because of this - we´re suppose to give up our republic to the dems - with this war hero´s help? I don´t think so. If he was such a hero, he would be able to see how the U.S. of A is being lost to communists with HIS help. He isn´t the only soldier that ever gave a part of his life and body in war. Some others actually gave their lives, limbs, etc.
Ahhh, maybe he is a manchurian candidate. That´s what I´m truly beginning to believe.
Oh, and I agree with poster that said he doesn´t have a sincere bone in his body.. He left those in Nam.

Sorry, #23: McCain has been more than fully compensated for his having been a Vietnam POW. He has milked that status for all it´s worth. McCain is known for having chummy relations with bribery-prone Arizona constituents--for just one example, look up the Charles Keating S & L scandal that cost our country hundreds of $millions.
I served six years in the United States Army. If having worn a uniform is all we need, let´s find another POW Vet to take McCain´s place. That PFC Wikileaks kid traitor also wore a uniform.

Te seante is a very exclusive club. They don´t believe a person earns their stripes to speak out unless theyv´ been there 10 years or so to build up credibility.Chairmanships are doled out on seniority,whether you´re qualified or not.
When a senator is labeled a "junior" senator,their job is to sit in the corner and wait your turn. This is what McCain is really mad about.He doesn´t think these "kids" have earned their right to speak out yet. There´s a pseudo chain of command,where front and center issues are better discussed by seasoned old timers.
This excludes shoot from the lip upstarts.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary….

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B.

First, though, I´d like to suggest that anyone reading this column in a local newspaper or news site pat the editor on the back for publishing what in our neo-medieval world of fear amounts to a forbidden column.

I know that this is one rich and urgent topic that doesn´t see the light of day in certain so-called news outlets -- and I say that from the experience of watching my own syndicated columns

"The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
