Mitt Cuts Off McCain's Precious Camera Time

By starting his victory speech about six seconds after McCain had started his concession.

McCain says they had an agreement about timing.

Was it:

accidental?

deliberate?

or

both deliberate and fucking awesome?

McCain -- chill. I think you've been on TV plenty, Buddy.

Oh: And McCain cut off Huckabee's speech, too, so...

Fred's Campaign Manager On Huckster, McVain:

Mike Huckabee's campaign to be John McCain's Vice President has hit a snag. He has gone from the mid-thirties in Iowa to 11% in New Hampshire and now about 15% in Michigan. On higher taxes and looser immigration, Huckabee has been done his best these past few weeks to mimic McCain. But this is nothing new. In fact, while John McCain was leading the Senate charge to grant amnesty for illegal immigrants, Mike Huckabee was one of the loudest cheerleaders. And at the same time McCain was voting against the Bush tax cuts, Huckabee was in Arkansas increasing taxes some 21 times.

Hannity kept asking Fred about attacking McCain and he seems to at least know what his supporters, and would-be supporters, are craving.

Incidentally, Brit Hume actually addressed what he intended with his badgering on the commanders' response to the Iranian speedboat harassment. I could have sworn for one moment at least he was a reader, or at least had had my criticism of that question mentioned to him.

What was he aiming for? Well, not much. He just says he thought at least one candidate would have said the commanders should have opened fire and/or the ROEs need to be loosened up to allow them to fire. But he seemed to offer that explanation out of nowhere.
