Orrin Hatch's Song for John McCain

April 24, 2008 10:01 AM

The Salt Lake Tribune reports that Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, (and Philip Stringer) have penned a song for his GOP colleague, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz:

Hey John
Say John
They're gonna hit you hard with ev'ry thing they've got
Hey John
Come on
They'll be calling you
Everything you're not!

Even as a liberal Democrat, I have to say, "Stick to your day job, Orrin..."

Off topic Jake but how about a comment on the good Rev. Wright's interview with PBS? Should make an argument for one of the headlines on your website -

Chinks in Obama's armor?

I have had it with The View! I found it while I and my family were visiting at a unspecified lab in New York state. It was "trendy" then [ 11 years ago ]. It has diminished it's self in an ever swirling vortex of self importance and smugness. To give a forum to the leftist propaganda displayed on your show implies that it is the stance you take as well. Today's show is an example of the "Pack Mentality" that has been an ever increasing occurance on the show. You're obviously enjoying a resurgence in viewership since Rosie left, but consideration of the format by Barbara or you would have given it a fresh face [it needed one ]. I am no longer watching this disgraceful debacle since it is still an UGLY view that I will not miss. [I watched it in N.Y. when it was only a regional show]. Never forget, "Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions" G.K. Chesterton

This is absolutely terrible...embarrassing, really. What makes it worse is that Hatch penned this with the idea that it would resonate with young people! Another example of Washington is from Mars and the American people are from Venus.

If McCain is going to condemn every attack ad that the GOP supporters put out, he will definitely suffer the defeat in the general election.

He must remember that most of the Americans are NOT his "friends", and that most of the Americans think the country is heading the wrong direction because of the current GOP administration.

To be able to win, he will have to make the majority of the voters believe that they are even less friendly to his Democratic opponent. Otherwise, McCain needs not bother to waste his time and money to run a losing campaign.

How is it that you have time to post this song, but not anything about the Rendell/Farrakahn connection and Senator Hillary Clinton's blatant double standard on whom she criticizes for what?

McCain is a heck of a nice guy, except for his violent temper, lack of ethics and failure to know Shia's from Sunni's and etc.He would not make a good dog catcher.But if you think Bush is good, you should vote for him !

They could have been more imaginative than this. Not catchy enough, IMHO.

Like Bush? You will LOVE McSame- he is Bush, Cheney and Hoover in one package ! Plus he is early stage oldtimers- just like Reagan. What more could you ask for-Mc Cain- the last President you will ever vote for ! He will finish the job Bush started !
