First, let me enter my disclaimer: I do not watch FOX news (except if there's going to be someone on Bill O'Reilly like the rapper Cam'ron or former talk show host Phil Donahue that will give ol' Billo the SMACKDOWN!!
But today, while flipping through the stations, I ended up at FOX News (Cavuto--I think that's his name) interviewing Georigian President, Mikhail Saakashvili.
Well, of course, the spin maesters were desperate to hear President Mikhail Saakashvili utter the words that he favors John McCain and Sarah Palin. By directly (and repeatedly...with no class whatsoever) interrupting and asking "well who do you like better?" The president kept trying to explain in as nice a way as possible that he was trying to stay out of it, by saying "This country has been good to us, very supportive." No, that wasn't good enough, so Cavuto pressed some more. Come on , I've heard you say some very nice things about John McCain, and I guess you've said some ok things about Barack Obama. Then the President said that McCain had called him (during the crisis with Russia). Well, Cavuto jumped right in and said "Did Barack Obama call you?" The president replied "Yes." Cavuto: "How soon did McCain call you and how soon did Obama call you?" (I swear, I rolled my eyes so hard they almost got stuck in my head!)
So the President told him that John McCain was the first to call him. Then the President went on and told him that Barack Obama called him and he was "Very Competent and said we should do "A, B, C, D" (he was using his hands as if to go through steps of organization. And Joe Biden (I'm still quoting) he called me on the second day." He began to go on and on about Biden and Obama...
Of course Cavuto didn't like that so he cut him off! I laughed and began this diary so I didn't hear the rest.
Meanwhile...Sarah Palin continues to dodge questions...McCain continues to fall in the polls...and President Mikhail Saakashvili sends his approval of "President Obama and VP Biden"! (FOX news makes mental note to self...never book President Saakashvili on the show again!)
