Comments on: The media and John McCain http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/05/04/the-media-and-john-mccain/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics.

We've ignored that continent since WWII when we sent Donald Duck and Orson Wells down as our only emissaries. In 20 years or less we'll be begging for a friend or two as they'll be producing all of our food while we're growing corn to save a nickel per gallon on gas. Brazil and Argentina will be deciding who eats, and who doesn't. God,

I am the canary in the coal mine, and you over-medicated gents are the proverbial frog in the pot slowly coming to a boil. My latest beef is Obama's Global Poverty Bill. He may not nationalize our companies but he will tax them into submission to cover this 845 billiion dollar plan. He wants to help his Marxist Friends in South America and Africa.....

If it was 14 minutes, 90% of the time was Obama talking and I thought he handled himself well. The vast majority of the interview was Iraq, Iran, Oil, the economy, Clinton's response on Iran threatening Israel etc. I thought it was a good forum for Obama. Sorry, no flag pin questions.

Didn't ask him if he's ever had sex with Bill Ayers? Didn't bring up bowling? Didn't ask him if Tony Rezko loves America as much as he does? Well, Russert has a lot of nerve calling himself a journalist. Mike: Y’mean he didn’t ask Obama to explain his middle name? Didn’t ask him if he’s ever had sex with Bill Ayers?
