House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Marvelous Maverick McCain spoke to the Al Jazeera U.S. Forum last week. Pelosi puts Aljazeera in the context of freedom of the press as incorporated in the US Constitution's First Amendment as well as of the era of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
The bold Maverick McCain's opens his presentation by a bad joke suggesting he would like to sleep with Nancy Pelosi. (?!?) Not that what he has to say about policy is especially more sophisticated. I guess you could call it "moderate", if a combination of neoconservatism (starting wars all over the place in the name of democracy) and neoliberalsim (making the world safe for plunder by big business). The Bold Maverick also talks about tweeting with Snooky. (!?!) And does he really get a lot of tweeted death wishes?
Why doesn't that mean old crank just retire? Sadly, even then they would still probably invite him onto Meet the Press every other week.
