McCain Laughs Hysterically At Thought Of Running Again (VIDEO)

On Tuesday, John McCain held his first press conference since the election. Asked if he would ever run for president again, the Arizona Senator seemed to find the idea so funny that he could barely get a word out. Finally, he managed to say, "I do not envision a scenario that would entail that." He does, however, intend to run for Senate again. Watch:

McCain also praised his running mate Sarah Palin, calling her "a breath of fresh air that swept the country."

"We worked hard and inspired a lot of people," he said. "We look back with pride on the campaign we ran."

"I think Governor Palin's future is very bright," McCain added. "I think she did a great job of energizing our base. I'm very proud of her."

He must have Alzheimers if he thinks she is a breath of fresh air.

[mamala4]

"A breath of fresh air?" More like smog to me...

"I think she did a great job of energizing our base. I'm very proud of her."

And the part left out:

"Of course the intellectual conservatives fled and she scared off the Independents and Reagan Democrats, but other than that, she was great. She has a bright future leading the creationists, the anti-abortion and anti-gay zealots."

And the racists with their pitchforks.

How could I have forgotten?

[glorysong]

Ha Ha Ha. You are so right.

[scully09]

I would laugh too!!!
I'm laughing now.

McCain is proud of her but another conservative politician say that she is without a doubt the dumbest politician ever and the most telling part is that she doesnt even know this. Glad to see he found the idea of running again a joke. I thought it was a joke last go around too.

After realizing his VP pick is more popular with the base than he is, and after Joe The Plumber scored a book deal off him, I guess he has a lot to laugh at.

Saw J the P being interviewed on Faux Noise earlier today when I was channel surfing.
What more does he have to say that is relevant? Only to Faux Noise, I guess.

[jennytaylia]

Well, look at it this way: Faux Noise and Joe da Plumba are about equally (non)relevant these days.

[KarateKid]

I don't think John McCain will ever comprehend the selection of Palin and the visceral hatred that it engendered towards her.

[bachmantsk]

I think he is sooo relieved to have that nightmare campaign over! Maybe he will get a chance now to win his soul back.

[justoverit333]

what was the press conference for?

[HC4BO]

absolutely NOTHING ...

[hssd]

Actually, it was to announce that he was going to run again for the Senate in 2010.

[Figerre]

Here's a thought - imagine McCain in charge right now...his transition team was nearly non-existant -- just exactly where do you think we'd be with the DOW? can you say 1000 ???

[stickshift]

He probably would have suspended or postponed the transition.

[HC4BO]

correction ..

- 1000 points ...

[roshni]

McCain would be taking a nap and Cindy would be shopping for china.

[glorysong]

Ha Ha.

[drec1500Madrid]

Wish he would have laughed a bit more on the campaign trail...

[GeorgeP922]

Im glad to see he is not delerious as Palin is.

You know something, I bet McCain was the only republican to get a good night sleep on Nov 4

[gayinmt]

He still doesn't get it. She energized the base. The base, as far as I can tell, are far right wing nuts. Not many others cared for her. The republican base is not going to win an election by themselves.

"McCain also praised his running mate Sarah Palin, calling her 'a breath of fresh air that swept the country'." More like "bad breath sweeping the country" if you ask me.

[Yermammy]

You gotta admit. It would be funny! PLEASE do! Yea! And bring moosejaw back widya, wouldya? lol.

[McChimp]

And don't forget Joe the Plumber!

[MPeter]

Together they veto the all Beer.

[Bafun]

poor guy he is in love! If he seems to understand that he lost he still doesn't seem to understand that it is because of her.
