From Case File: No, Wait For It
It seems like only a few short weeks ago that McCain was crossing the Rubicon:
McCain To Appear On Sunday’s “Meet The Press”
NBC has just announced that John McCain will — finally — appear on “Meet The Press” this Sunday, October 26th.
I say “finally” because McCain has not appeared on the Sunday program since the campaign declared unofficial war on NBC, declining invitations for himself and vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin from interim MTP host Tom Brokaw, and granting “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Wiliams the last of the Big Three network interviews with Palin, by a substantial margin.
In August, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis wrote a letter to NBC News president Steve Capus, complaining of comments made by Andrea Mitchell on MTP (and throwing in an MSNBC jab for good measure). This is also after Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention, where she attacked the mainstream media, and the crowd started to chant, “NBC! NBC!”
Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has not sat for an interview on MTP, nor has she been made available for an interview on any other Sunday morning show. She has, however, appeared on “Saturday Night Live.”
The release is below. ETP has asked NBC if Governor Palin might appear, if she was invited, and what the response to that invitation was (including the rationale, if any, for refusal). I will update this post accordingly.

TOM BROKAW TO INTERVIEW REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE SEN. JOHN MCCAIN IN A “MEET THE PRESS” EXCLUSIVE ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26
“Meet the Press” to Originate Live From Waterloo, Iowa
…And really, how would it be possible not to do what I’m about to do?
[CTL-V]
I wonder how wet the blowjob is gonna be.
How time flies. It seems like only weeks but he crossed the Rubicon when he was a much younger man. Around 2000 years ago.
I hear he’ll have Joe the Plumber in a gimp mask leashed to his side.
I too feel like I win when I lose.
You, sir, are a national treasure.
And could someone please educate the McCain people about symbolism?
Just don’t do it until after the fourth.
Waterloo. That’s like a flush toilet, right?
Always with the poop.
FCUKING AWSEOME, GAVIN!ONE1!!
Damn, that is the best guitar shape ever. If McCain strapped that on, it would be a game-changer.
Here at my video-incapable work, I’m going to imagine that vid is the Napoleon-on-the-waterslide bit from Bill & Ted.
Well you know, as long as he keeps drinking blood…
As awesome as that guitar is, the real game-changer will be when he shows up with a re-united ABBA!!!!
Heh. Waterloo. Just can’t get enough of that good old toilet humor.
I do believe the desperation has finally reached the “palapable” level.
palapable? Mimicry of a good friend?
I do believe the desperation has finally reached the “palapable” level.
Pretty soon it’ll be cupable!
Rachel Sklar/Eat The Press at HuffPo:
I am so sick of this anti-night person bias. I mean, obviously, Palin is simply not a morning person.
I sympathize. Neither am I. In fact, I’ve never even seen Meet The Press in its regular time slot, though I have seen SNL at the right time.
The press clearly fails to understand that “Joe Six-Pack”, “Jack Triple-Spliff”, and “Jane Twenty-Lines” are not morning persons either, and it would be absolutely foolish for Palin to try to reach them at times when they are fast asleep! Or, you know, in church.
.
Is Tom Brokaw’s lisp less pronounced when he was a penis in his mouth?

when he was a penis in his mouth?
Tom Brokaw has always been a penis but to whose mouth do you refer?
palapable? Mimicry of a good friend?
Palapable: adj 1) Of or pertaining to a relationship with the Emperor Palpatine. 2) Any of a number of umbrella covered chairs in Aruba.
I do believe the desperation has finally reached the “palapable” level.
Pretty soon it’ll be cupable!
And then palatable!
Tom Brokaw has always been a penis but to whose mouth do you refer?
His own. Jesus. Keep up here. Brokaw’s penis-ness is all encompassing. He is a penis in is mouth just as much as he is a penis in his penis.
Sounds like something I need. How duz I get me wunnadem dere chairs?
So he’s omnipenisent?
GSD asks:
I don’t know, I alwayth have a pedith i’ by bouth.

I am offended by this blasphemous allusion to our Lord Christ the Vampire.
Well, PeeJ, all you have to do is fly to Aruba and palapa yourself down in one!
I’m always amazed at the full sound ABBA got from just a piano, an unplugged electric guitar and two vocalists.
btw, will William Dembski be on Meet the Press, too?
He is a penis in is mouth just as much as he is a penis in his penis.
Like this?
I have the notion that Herr Clyde was familiar with Hans Bellmer’s works long ago. He’s amazing in digging up obscure, bizarre art. I find that slightly disturbing. And quite admirable.
If John McCain could write a hook as good as Abba’s then Sarah Palin would have really shiny clothes.
It is certainly conceivable that I’ve linked to Bellmer engravings in the past.
A malfunctioning Smut Clyde robot is writing out 100 times, “I will not side-track S,N! threads by linking to disturbing surrealist artworks”.
So, the idea here is–what? That McCain will appear lucid, sane, even-tempered, non-creepy? That he will answer questions without regurgitating tropes that have backfired on him? That he’ll go positive, give people a reason to believe that he has real ideas instead of kneejerk reactions to the crisis du jour? That, after this crazy chase through the funhouse mirror-maze of his campaign, we will finally come face-to-face with the One True McCain?
Really.
darknite: hey can you make popcorn on sunday am
bigbadbutler: For the McCain appearance on Meet The Press, sir?
darknite: durr
bigbadbutler: Of course, Master Bruce.
darknite: hes gonna get pwned so bad
bigbadbutler: Like a Shropshire strumpet on two-for-one night, sir.
darknite: LOL
bigbadbutler: ROFLMAO, sir.
But which of us is the real duck, Mr. Frischberg?
In this case, the shoe does indeed fit.
Irony can be a beautiful thing, eh?
I imagine Brokaw is now injecting steroids directly into his tongue, to prep it for the feat of bionic salad-tossing it’ll take to slap any life into a candidate who’s obviously long since flatlined politically.
Oh, & damn, I heart ABBA – always have, always will. Light-years away from what I normally like, & cheesy as hell, but I just can’t help it. They’re chocolate for the ears.
That guitar is the shnizzit!
