Whoopi Embarrasses Herself; McCain Wimps Out

Dirty Harry has a video clip up of John McCain on The View, apparently trying to answer a serious question in a serious manner, you know, like adults do. Whoopi Goldberg jumps in out of left field with an utterly idiotic comment about being "returned" to slavery, apparently thinking that McCain's stated support of judges who will interpret the Constitution as the founders intended was his way of saying that we would revert to the original Constitution, you know, before Republicans ended slavery against the objections of the Democrats.

What a jackass. Either Goldberg is actually a complete and utter moron, and actually believes what she's spouting, that John McCain would like to return her to slavery, whatever the hell that means (I fail to see how being a millionaire entertainer many times over is at all similar to slavery...), or else she is saying stupid things purely to garner applause from the equally juvenile sheep in the studio audience, who do their part and whistle and cheer as the childishly self-satisfied Goldberg soaks it up.

However, as much of an asshat as Goldberg makes of herself, it's expected of her at this point. The Dems have no serious arguments to offer against any of McCain's policies, so they're reduced to "playground insults" and nonsensical rantings in partisan settings. What's almost more frustrating is McCain's complete and utter failure to take her to school.

Granted, he has the whole "temper" reputation to watch out for, the last thing he needs is to have a clip on YouTube of him lashing out at a host on The View, but his response to this idiocy is pathetic. He stutters out a sad little, "That's an excellent point," and smiles, apparently amused by this simple fool. There's a large, large middle ground between lashing out and accepting this lunacy with a smile, and John McCain needs to find it, but quick. It's been working for Sarah Palin, fighting back against the lunatic, infantile attacks of the left, maybe John McCain should give it a try. The American people seem to like it, and it's definitely not politics as usual.

If you can bear to watch the clip through to the end, however, you'll witness the most embarrassing part, as once legitimate journalist Barbara Walters, in an apparent effort to comfort the schvitzing Goldberg, throws out a casual, "Us white folk will take care of you." Oh my.
