Poor John McCain.
It must be tough having to go out and lie to everyone!
Tuesday night, McCain was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno for his first interview since losing the presidential election, and he had some interesting things to say.
Like the fact that McCain believes Sarah Palin didn’t cost him the election.
We agree, she probably didn’t cost him the entire election, but she was definitely a reason why some MANY people were hesitant to vote for him!
McCain said, “I’m so proud of her and I’m very grateful she agreed to run with me. She inspired people, she still does. I couldn’t be happier with Sarah Palin.”
He did add, “I could tell you a lot of things that we may have made mistakes on,” but never went on to list them.
Mistake #1: Getting tricked into choosing Sarah Palin for VP.
And in reference to anonymous top officials disclosing Palin’s outrageous shopping sprees, McCain said, “I think I have at least a thousand, quote, top advisers. A top adviser said? … I’ve never even heard of … a top adviser or a high-ranking Republican official.”
He didn’t directly address the wardrobe issue.
McCain then added about Palin, “The people were very excited and inspired by her. That’s what really mattered, I think. She’s a great reformer.”
And when Leno asked if he would run again in 2012 when he’ll be 76, McCain admitted, “I wouldn’t think so. We are going to have another generation of leaders come along.”
