Fun Stuff: Conan O’Brien Breaks Down McCain’s VP Options
On Wednesday, “Nightline” co-host Cynthia McFadden and correspondent David Wright condescendingly reported on the disparity in the media’s coverage of Barack Obama and John McCain. McFadden began a segment on the Arizona senator by snidely asserting, “Now, if you have a younger sibling, you can probably relate to what Senator John McCain has been going through this week. Whatever he does, everybody seems to be talking about the new kid in town.” 1
McCain had the chance to listen to Obama being questioned. Pastor Rick Warren admits McCain was not in church. It goes to the issue of credibility. Why wasn?t McCain on time? Did McCain take the oppertunity to prepare himself to have better answers than he would have if he had come on time? 3

Senator John McCain has unveiled a new campaign slogan. Ready to lead America into the 21st century. And this is a lot better than his old slogan. This is an improvement. 4
Well, the McCain campaign has printed out the new press credentials in English and French. They say, the “JV press squad.” The varsity? Well, they are off on their grand tour. For Obama, it’s a week of million dollar photo-ops. Shooting hoops with the grunts. It’s easy to appear presidential when your chauffeur is a bona fide king. And McCain, well, he’s touring the capitals of the rust belt. 7
