This just in: McCain doesn't like the Kitchen

On the CNN Political Ticker yesterday:
Sen. John McCain just may have blacklisted the hit talk-show The View after a heated, somewhat confrontational, appearance on the program last September.

According to Barbara Walters, the show's creator and co-host, McCain told her at a recent Washington event he won't be appearing on the daily gabfest "any time soon."

"He had been on The View and was not very happy," Walters told a gathering at Syracuse University, according to Portfolio.com. "And when we walked out and I saw him I said, 'Senator, so nice to see you. I hope you'll come on The View again.' And he looked at me and said, 'Not anytime soon.'"

Appearing on the program at the height of his campaign for the White House, McCain was aggressively pressed on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's qualifications to be vice president, as well as negative campaign ads that several independent fact-checks had called downright misleading.

Oh, the poor dear. We must protect McCain and Palin from such hard-hitting reporters as Katie Couric, Barbara Walters and Whoopi flippin Goldberg. That's OK, John. Go back to the warm, calming embrace of Sean Hannity over at FOX News. He's waiting for you with a blanket and cup of hot cocoa.
