Senator John McCain on "The Tonight Show" with Conan O'Brien 09/08/09

[flandersfails]

The Senator seems to be deeply touched by the concept of Twitter. As am I.

[xgabex80]

im tryin 2 find when coco n andy r getting shot at!!!!!

[YouDickwod]

lol twittering as they were being beaten up. that's funny for some reason.

[sidewalkpilot]

Republicans are greedy monsters. Go fuck yourself.

[RoxanneJ81]

I love the way McCain waves. I know it's a POW injury thing, but it's too hilarious.

[YouDickwod]

@RoxanneJ81 lol

[janeway529]

Let's see NBC try to take this footage down. :P

[WDZTony]

it was a mistake not to choose mccain...

[hemmabil]

@WDZTony You wrote a "not" too much there

[WDZTony]

I don't think so;)

[stgm]

Eh. As bad as Obama is, McCain would have been worse. Since he would have died by now and Palin would be president.

[recyard12x]

@stgm How can you even say that when he's still alive? its getting close to 1/2 way through the term.

[RedAnndi]

this is so boring. i feel sorry for the audience, expecting an entertaining show

[JohnnyQ2004]

shame he is not the President and not the barack who's lame liar

[ROosthakid]

there all liars man ...

[YouDickwod]

@ROosthakid john mccain obviously doesn't give a shit about ted kennedy.

what a phony.

[Mash287]

[kalllesvensson]

[Talha3200]

well there isnt called a region and a country you fucking bastard .. its you thats stupid

[Sonicrunr]

i still hate cain

[TheBrent420]

right cause odumbas doing such a bang up job

[cokmobot]

oh Conan. "Egregious distortions on both sides," eh? Well, the Republicans' side has death panels, government takeover of hospitals, Communism, Socialism, Naziism... What egregious distortions have the Dems come up with?

[kuuktuu]

shut up cokmobot, you don't know what ur talking about.

[cokmobot]

heh... Well argued. Clearly you know what you're talking about, so please inform the rest of us where the other side has distorted their representation of the content of their own proposals. I know this sounds snide, but I'm seriously interested if you think they have distorted the situation.

[kuuktuu]

I'm not saying I know u dumb twit, I'm telling you to shut up cuz you don't know nothing about politics. So shut up.

[cokmobot]

that statement is predicated on the assumption that you know about politics, yes? Otherwise, you would take your own advice and be silent on the subject. I'm just asking you to support your bluster. Or is it just bluster?

[kuuktuu]

Shut up already, stop acting like you're this great expert on american politics when we all know that ur a dumb retard trying to sound all knowledgeable. Dumb ass...shut up!!!

[cokmobot]

Seems like what you're really trying to say is, "I disagree with you." Is that it? If you want to viscerally disagree with what I've said, that's fine, but please let's try not to lower ourselves to calling each other dumb retards.

I don't particularly care if you agree with me or not , but what makes you think you can win an argument by just being rude? This isn't just politics, it's basic human interaction.

[yori73]

Sen McCain, always sincere and says what he really thinks.

[Bigmac8247]

I don't know why McCain continues to appear on this worthless show. Conan uses this show as a public platform to bash everyone who is not a liberal. His ratings validate that most of America don't agree with his jokes about people on the right. As announced, if Leno does the same, NBC may fail. Sounds good to me.

[cokmobot]

What was unfair about this interview? If anything, I think it was very lax. There was no laughter for the majority of the interview and he pretty much set McCain up to give his talking points with every question.

My question is, where do you think McCain looked bad in this whole segment?

[thegamz1]

only countries have like official flags. and there's no country called kurdistan on earth, either!! people who think there is , are just delusional!

[thegamz1]

wtf???? there's no place called as kurdistan!!!!!!!!

[godislove92]

he meant the governor of the province called the kurdistan

[SMBainbridge]

not governor, Prime Minister! Kurdistan is autonomous and has it's own prime minister, president as well as conducting it's own foreign relations seperate from Iraq.

[thegamz1]

well, we call "that place" Northern Iraq. Some people think Kurdistan is a territory in the SouthEast of Turkey. And this is dead wrong. people whostill think like that Check the map!!

[SMBainbridge]

There is a place for Kurdistan, its an autonomous region of Iraq that has it's own flag as well as its own government with a Prime minister and president. technically it's called Iraqi kurdistan, but in the same way that no Americans say American California, no Iraqies says Iraqi Kurdistan.

[insanekillamonster1]

I VOTED FOR YA!

[jbfilmsmccain]

john is awsome

[BrannonMcConkey]

I thought McCain was nice and well-spoken here. Conan of course a class act as usual (while retaining his sharp wit, and entertaining charisma). This was a nice breath of fresh air..no mudslinging or quibbles. Obviously this is an enteraminment shtick, but enjoyable nonetheless.

[Talha3200]

Well there is nothing called "kurdistan" you virgin!

[effort1234]

yes and this is the guy who claims that "I fought in the war and I know the middle east" ,and it is not iirbil it is

Erbil

[n701204x]

Kurdistan is a region consisting of Northern Iraq, Eastern Turkey and parts of Iran, Sryia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, It has its own flag as well, granted it is not a soverign nation, there IS something called Kurdistand.

[kannadaguy]

man! its irritating when uneducated idiots speak like they know all...

hey Tallha3200... ever heard of google or wikipedia? go educate yourself...

[Talha3200]

ohh you say google ok look on maps and many things nothing is called kurdistan your noob!

its a fucking region and not a country

[kannadaguy]

@ talha3200... now u come back after reading up on kurdistan and say "it a fucking region and not a country"

well... your earlier comment was that there was NOTHING called kurdistan..

Like i said.. idiot

[eqsmooth]

Real books are better for the mind than the internet. BTW, anyone here who voted for McCain should really read about this horrible man. He got caught in Vietnam for war crimes. He is a war criminal not a war hero. He killed thousands of innocent people in a pointless war. War criminals sometimes become prisoners of war. He has admitted many times to lying & cheating out of sheer ambition. Look at what he did to his first wife & look at his choice for VP. Then look up The Keating 5. Very sad.

[kannadaguy]

books give the perspective of only a handful of individuals (albeit more reliable maybe).. internet gives varied opinions.. thats the difference... both are important nonetheless
