Stephanopoulos Grovels Before McCain Today on Republican's Sleepover with Colonel Gadhafi
OK, use every word in the thesaurus for Georgie Boy and his relationship with John McCain, any would apply: obsequious, sycophantic, fawn, kowtow, prostrate himself, abase himself, fall on his knees before McCain.
Stephanopoulus only question on the subject of McCain's visit to Libya:
STEPHANOPOULOS: One more foreign policy question. You were in Libya last week with Colonel Gadhafi. You tweeted and said it was an interesting meeting at his ranch with an interesting man, yet we see today the Lockerbie bomber returns to a hero's welcome.
Did you talk to the Colonel about that?
Stephanopoulus slow pitch softball the obvious "Did you talk about the Lockerbie bomber" when McCain's response on the release of the only man convicted of the TWA bombing that killed over 200 Americans is so obvious that McCain's handlers must have written the question themselves to get heat off McCain for paling around with Gadhafi, a terrorist mastermind.
Stephanopoulus did not ask:
"What did you find interesting about a man who was declared a terrorist sponsor and who was bombed on the orders of Ronald Reagan after being linked to two attacks that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of American citizens?"
or
"Do you believe it sent the wrong message to sleep at Colonel Gadhafi's ranch?"
or
"What exactly did you discuss with this dictator and terrorist"
or
"During your campaign your running mate said Obama 'paled around with terrorists', isn't that what you were doing in sleeping over at Gadhafi's ranch in Libya?"
What do you expect from George Stephanopoulus when he has McCain on almost twice a month, and apparently vacations with the man and his family and has just sent a Tweet:
"Heading home from Grand Canyon Magnificent McCain in good form Son Jimmy too. Can't wait to show my girls the condors and raft down river"

Any thoughts on what would have happened if John Kerry, Al Franken or heaven forbid Hillary had gone to Libya and slept over with the Colonel?
Where is the outrage about McCain's infatuation with 'interesting' psychopaths from our Bush Base defenders, MiddleClassbill, CleverBullDog, Lalo??

And I'm pretty sure it was McCain that campaigned on how important it was not to talk to terrorists.

Snuffy does seem to have a love affair with him; Tweety, too, for that matter. The dearth of questions is vexing, but I have another question:
What pissed off Snuffleupagous at Bill Clinton that he turned him into a Republican??? Rumor said it was the Lewinsky nastiness; that doesn't seem like enough. Any thoughts?
And how can Snuffy have Gingrich, DeLay, Malkin, et.al. on his program????

It must be the money and the perks for Stephanococcus, like the rafting with Living Legend McCain.
I was wondering what McCain found 'interesting' about Gadhafi-his sword or gun collection, or does the guy have stuffed heads of political opponents hanging on his wall at the ranch. What Republican wouldn't admire that!

Yes, but why did he go to Libya in the first place???? Did he ever give a reason?

Here's what changed him: Money. In the late 90s, the market was good for GOP-friendly "centrists."
