McCain Suggests He Won't Investigate Bush Corruption

Despite rhetoric about tackling corruption in Washington, John McCain does not appear too eager to look into the current administration. When asked today about supporting independent investigations into the Bush administration, McCain replied:

"I do not agree with your sentiment that there has been widespread corruption. I just don't accept that. And by the way my friends do you think it would be nice if the President of the United States got a little bit of credit for the fact that there has not been another attack on the United States of America since 9-11? I think he deserves some credit for that. I really do."

My friend..Yo­u are the oldest Joke in the book

The 9-11 Commission and report was a farce. Hampered, sidelined and underfunded by the very people it should have investigated in the first place. There has not been another attack (YET!) because the same people that orchestrated the first one realize too many eyes are already upon them. I am fully aware that too many Americans still believe the "19 Arabs" bullshit line, but close review of the actual evidence indicates otherwise. However Joe Sixpack hasn't the mental inquisitiveness to educate himself with the truth. Too many weak kneed, complicit politicians and a corporate media make getting the true facts to the American people an impossibility. War on terror...M­y ass!!

Shouldn't this story be in the Entertainment section?

And what did happen to that Valerie Plame scandel? Oh, right...th­ey made it up. Libs...so predickt-unable.

My friends - i've got some straight talk for you: get ready for 4 more years of Bush policies.

[mediamarv]

Anyone besides me notice that when this story was first intro'd on this site, the headline said "McCain says won't investigate Bush" not, as above, "suggests he won't." Big difference and makes me wonder what happened that made th change necessary, eh, HuffPo interns????
America wants to know!!!

[ricchase]

I agree. It does seem that there have been some uncharacteristic "niceties" extended as of late. You really would not have expected that sort of compromise here, would you? Shame.

[scrzbill]

I guess Clinton should get a lot of credit for having no attacks when he was president. Only inept bush allowed the US to be attacked by a bunch of sand terrorists.

[BigLib]

What part of 'impeachment is off the table" do Libs not understand?

[iburl]

No S**t, Sherlock.

McCain wont investigate BUSHCO or anything else because hes too f-in old to do anything period. (except keep America in Iraq for 100 more years) He makes me sick with his My Friends everytime he opens his mouth. And I dont give a damn that he was a war hero ,So was John Kerry and the maggot Swift Boaters spewed their lies 24/7. So please spare me all of you Rethugs about what a great man he is. At one time maybe he was. Before he sold his soul to the DEVIL (BUSH).

[CarlyCorday]

He sold his soul LONG before that. Ask his first wife. His rich now-wife's daddy bought him his senate seat. The Vietnam war POW-MIA families loath him like poison. There's nothing negative I wouldn't believe about McCain, considering what I KNOW of him. Not the rumors but the facts.

[CindyKay]

Exactly!!!

[booker52]

Why does this not surprise me??? If McCain is elected we would be getting more of the same garbage we already have with Bu$h and company. No thanks, I don't think I could stand another 4 years of this crap, and I don't think the country could either.

[alfrede]

Hi,

Why would he not want to investigate allegations of corruption?

If corruption exists, why would he not want to investigate it and stop it?

Perhaps Senator McCain can explain.

What do U think?

[imusintheevening]

McCain won't investigate corruption - period. As a corrupt legisltor he would be "the pot calling the kettle black."
