Cindy McCain vs. “The View”
With the big election day being only 48 days away, all of America’s focus is on the two presidential candidates. They are, of course, allowing themselves to be found everywhere. All America has to do is turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper to see one of the candidates. Confirming this statement, John and Cindy McCain showed up on ABC’s “The View” on Friday, September 12. On Saturday, September 13 at a Republican dinner, Cindy McCain stated that “The View” had “picked our bones clean,” referring to the tough questions that the hosts asked Cindy and John throughout the show. On a regular CNN segment, Showbiz Tonight, two women (obviously with different political views) debated the show and what they thought about Cindy McCain’s comment at the dinner. The Democrat (and even the quite obvious Democratic host) said that Cindy’s comment is proving that she’s “out of touch with America.” If Cindy McCain thought that the hosts of “The View” really asked tough questions, maybe she should have watched the show before. These are tough, independent women with their own opinions who speak their minds. Even the Republican viewpoint on CNN said that the conduct of all the ladies on “The View” was “very professional.” If your husband is running for president of the United States, you have to be prepared for tough interview questions; complaining about it or even commenting about the unfairness of the questions is not going to change anything. The American public needs to know the answers to these questions, so why not ask them on a popular talk show?
Pretty good post. If John McCain can’t stand up to the View, how’s he going to stand up to the terrorists!
Would be nice to provide a clip to the actual McCain segment, rather than general View Web site (YouTube?). Also, provide name of the “Republican viewpoint” on the show. ***
