John McCain Cancels CNN Appearance After Campbell Brown's Bounds Interview

Broadcasting & Cable:

According to CNN, Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) pulled out of a scheduled interview with the network after a segment with Campbell Brown and a top McCain spokesman Monday night in which Brown asked for examples of a foreign-policy decision made by Republican vice president pick Sarah Palin.

McCain was scheduled to appear on Larry King Live, but CNN's Wolf Blitzer said Tuesday that the campaign told the news network they thought Brown's interview with spokesman Tucker Bounds was "over the line."

Then how in the world will Johnny Apocalypse deal with Putin???

[tbirdalum]

He won't. Since she was in the PTA, he'll let Palin take her neighbor on. You know, international experience.

[shrinkrap]

When did the media finally get some stones?
Now that they have had a taste of real journalism, after hibernating for the past 7 years, it's time to go after Bush and his band of traitor's. Carpe Diem!!!

How does McCain and his cohorts think they can take on the terrorists of the world if they're afraid of an interview with tough questions on CNN?

[bronceye]

Talk about bunker mentality. Vote for us but we won't answer any questions. We'll take executive privilege after the election.

[ex-pat]

Maybe Larry King had no intention of giving him the questions in advance like Rev Wright

[drumz]

BS

[Chemwiz]

Nobody watches this corps with suspenders anyway. McCain has more important people to talk to...

[LarsGruber]

McCain has gone from Arizona Senator to Cry-Baby-In-Chief.

What would McCain do as president, ignore the press? That's GWB's job!

[Oldbuck]

I guess this is what going to happen if he is elected ever time some one question a decision he will run and hide and take his toys and not play. This man does not have the temperament to be President I truly don't think he has the balance he needs some help not put in a leadership role.

............John, you pathetic putz.....you allowed the social conservatives to overtake your campaign, and completely derail your presidential bid. Common opinion is that your really, really needed the $$$$. They talked you into enlisting "Moose-burger Palin" [whose CV changes on a daily basis].....did you realize she is an Independence Party member who wants to succeed from the USA?? Her [Palin] story is a gold mine that just keeps on giving...............this feels very much like the Twilight Zone.....

John go ahead and keep acting like the petulant child that you are... This certainly demonstrates both your lack of judgement and lack of temperment

[PutinIsDaMan]

NO war criminals who napalmed innocent women and children should EVER be President.

[PublicEnemy]

See this is how it works with the McCain campaign and most Republicans. Ask them to answer a direct question and they respond by asking the reporter a question completely off topic. Tucker Bounds looked like a deer in headlights during that interview. Please tell your friends out there to see the video and really think about the choice we have for President.

Way to go Campbell!!!!

[firelord5000]

Campbell is a str8 up hotty, who layed the smack down on team McCain.

[Einstein44]

McCain wants to see an advance list of the questions before he blunders an answer...

[norkas]

I know a educated Republican who called me and said he never seen any politican as wonderful as Sarah and he could not take his eyes off of her when she spoke because she was so smart and honest.

There are many other LOONEYS like him . His wife thinks Obama is the ANTI CHRIST and i am not kidding . So there is group of NUTCASES that really believe that Palin is the very best selection the Republicans could come up with.

This is scary because of Mc Cains past health problems and what he really thinks of this country if anything would ever happen to him.

[Whinger]

Get back under your stone ratboy!

[MourningDude]

The "media" (i.e. BHO's mouthpiece) has been answered time and time again.

Would SP be ready to lead on day 1 should something happen to JMac?

In the unlikely event that JMac would be unable to assume the Presidency, she will be more ready than BHO would be. The end.

[PutinIsDaMan]

NO war criminals who napalmed innocent women and children should EVER be President.

[SailawayJane]

Like I said before, do you mind if I start repeating this. This is pretty good.

[SmootyBooty]

mourning the loss of his brain...

[RaraAvis17]

You keep telling yourself that. You know it is not true, but of course you'd take a inexperienced man/woman over a experienced black man anyday. Wouldn't you? Just admit it - you'll feel better.

[amcg50]

don't you know J McCain is a former POW you can't treat him like this.. How dare the media ask tought questions

[MYSTERIOUS]

YEAH, RIGHT.
