"Technical difficulties" shut down damaging McCain interview

McCain flack Tucker Bounds was getting grilled about the campaign's pathological lying on MSNBC today when the video feed suddenly died. It's of course impossible to know if there was any foul play involved, but the "technical difficulties" couldn't have come at a more convenient time.

O'DONNELL: "Let me as you specifically about the comments on 'The View' because John McCain was asked about Sarah Palin and earmarks. He said, 'no, she's not taken any as Governor.' The Wall Street Journal today has a story that in fact Palin's project list totals $453 million dollars. Will we hear John McCain admit that he was wrong?

BOUNDS: "Well, the first part about that Wall Street Journal piece that you should understand is that they don't use the accumulated earmarks that Barack Obama lists on his own...

Be very suspicious of the MSM, at all times.

when the going gets tough..pull the plug!!

I saw this. It happened right as he was about to bash Obama. I thought the timing seemed pretty good. He was unable to spin the host's negative McCain question back on Obama.

Little bitch Tucker is a lucky F**ker.

Probably a lightning strike. Had to happen sooner or later.

Please notice that EVERY TIME one of McCain's flunkies is asked about his policies, the immediate reply begins "first let's discuss Barrack Obama's . . ." Nancy PFFFFFFFFFFF did this on Hardball too. She was so upset, she was literally screeching.

Breaking News: Palin will not cooperate in TrooperGate. Watch Rachel Maddow for the scoop.

Maybe BillO has finally gained the power to end any interview anywhere anytime!

Like Tucker was just going "oh, man. I got cut off. I was so eager to answer those questions and rebut them." Right. And I'm six feet tall, with good teeth and good eyes. And have 50 more yrs to live.

Hey, Olbermann said and had a clip up from Faux News where the commentator grilled this turd on the lies they are telling.

A Rethug apologist replaced by a few seconds of dead air? Sounds like a win-win...

bounds answer.....the usual reichwingneocon pundit
dodge the question and redirect onto someone/something
else. fuck these lying assholes...sorry i don't have really strong opinions. lol

Goodness gracious Sarah will make an excellent neo con vice pres. She has already stated she will not co-operate with investigators on troopergate. She says the investigation is tainted.

Did anyone else notice that in the video, right before the part that is transcribed in the post, O'Donnell was starting to followup about Rove and the 100% truth test comment when she stopped and went to the posted question? Is it me, or did she seem to get a message thru the earpiece? She seemed to tilt her head and almost put a hand to her ear.

Ok, got that off my chest, now I'll take off the tinfoil hat and relax...

How come everybody I know named Tucker are assholes?
Of course I only know of two people named Tucker.

Funny she won't speak to reporters for the same reason.

Taint.

Here's the link to Sarah's taint

Hmmmmm GE ( a company that makes billions off the war machine) wants John McCain to look good, how surprising?

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction

Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that to the poor
Yeah!

Time will tell they are power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes
Yeah!

... sorry that wasn't aimed at you Sarah Palin (I know you have cornered the market on pig)

Sarah "I don't want your taint" Palin

is that because she soiled her taint input?

Not a conspiracy...unless its one that benefits Obama.... because he was about to try to defend himself.

However, Tucker is getting hosed out there. Must suck to be him. To have to lie like that.

Captain ENOUGH Kangaroo @ 14:

You try and live with weak and pitiful name like Tucker, you'd be an asshole too to compensate for that.

Oh and I bet the Connies cut the feed on their side.

This Tucker is the soft underbelly of McDivots campaign. I'd beat his ass every time he poked his head out.

Has Tucker been seen alive in public since this interview , maybe some tech couldn't take the Republican lies anymore and went postal in the remote studio.

There's another Rethuglican douchebag named Tucker?

WTF?

Looking at it optimistically, maybe someone in the booth was just fed up with the little fuck's lies and had enough, (yank on some important cord).

ferrofluid (Obama + Biden = 2008) @ 22:

Has Tucker been seen alive in public since this interview , maybe some tech couldn't take the Republican lies anymore and went postal in the remote studio.

Somehow I think that if a techie went postal on a NeoCon in a studio that it'd be on every news organ 24/7 with lists of his "subversive ultra left-wing marxist propaganda" and had a copy of both Karl Marx's and Chairman Mao's little red books in his back pocket.

Or maybe I just overestimate our "liberal" media...

regardless of the cause of the feed loss, it was funny to see Tucker attempt to defend the indefensible. I mean if Karl Rove is saying it is too much, that's like Goebbels saying don't be so mean to the Jews.

did mccain not say he didnt care if we stayed in iraq for 100, 200, 1000 years?

oh sure, he added a caveat in regards to as long as our guys werent getting shot at...but that is disengenuous...they are getting shot at right now

it also shows naivite about the region

maybe it would be better if obama just ran a commercial with him singing bomb iran....

oh, and as for the asshats assertion that he can give a laundry list of the lies in obamas ads...go to factcheck.org....they disprove that assertion

The Bavarian Illuminati at work again....Rascals.

If the McCain-Plain ticket is elected, Palin will be just a figurehead VP, and a figurehead president if it comes down to it. She'll have a staff populated with Cheney allies who will tell her what to say and when to say it. America--a country that I love--will continue to be the laughingstock of the civilized world.

Thanks, rightwingers, for dragging us all down!

ANSWER THE F*CKING QUESTION INSTEAD OF DOING THE 3RD GRADER THING AND SAYING SOMEOME ELSE DID IT TOO.

Your attacks on Tucker are sexist.

All this guy ever does when asked questions about the McCain/Palin lies is to say Barack Obama's name within the first four seconds. He is a tool of the first water.

Or some old guy started raving, throwing things around, yanked the cord, then played the name game with, "Tucker".

The mainstream media is owned by the same corporations who control K-street lobbying and who back John McCain. The job of the mainstream media is to see John McCain elected president.

I think this guys is like an inside joke among talking heads now. It's a competion to see who can slap him down the hardest. How many times is McCain going to send him out to be filleted?

Must be channeling Pee Wee Herman shouting into the phone "I can't hear you!"

Here's the link to Sarah's taint

wasnt that roves excuse, he wasnt into taint?

I watched this interview live. Tucker said something early in the interview (and I'm paraphrasing here) that he knew he was "going a little too long" but had to expound on a particular answer. My guess was that Tucker bloviated to run out the clock (since satellite time is bought in segments).

I'm amazed McCain is still letting this guy out in public. He's embarrassing. On the other hand, so is his VP pick, so obviously there's a pattern here.

I thought I'd seen Tuckers face somewhere:

The Republican party is comprised of losers, along with a small core of neocon thieves of which some jumped ship in 2005.
The 'A' list is too busy with planning their safe exit to oversea, the 'B' team are playing it cool and waiting for 2012.
So all WcCain has left is the 'C' team and Nixon Raygun retreads, and fringe wannabes.

What could she possibly have to hide? She is an "honest republican." Aren't they all?

Could you imagine a show with the 2 Tuckers? Yikes, that'd be one to stay away from!

more breaking palin news...she did indeed attempt to have specific books removed from the shelves of the wasilla library

http://mudflats.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/palins-revelations-repent-the-e...

specifically...a book written by a baptist minister entitled "Pastor, I am Gay"

yo...the bitch hates baptists

You realize there’s probably a 3 or 4 minute delay, so Tucker probably blew up and said the “N” word and became unplugged.

Next person who tells me we aren't in the fight of our lives gets this clip in their e-mail along with the trailer to "V For Vendetta." Got to watch that one again, too.

you guys are aware that if mccain becomes prez, tucker will be his press sec

There were also technical difficulties on my local progressive radio station all day. What are the odds? I firmly believe that KKKarl Rove and company know how to do this and will do it at will. There are certainly ways to find out who is screwing with the media and with web sites. Perhaps if the truly liberal media (that would be Air America, NovaM, this blog, Think Progress, TPM, and a few others, would pool their resources and hire a really smart web guy, then we could find out who is attacking you, who wants to control the world (his name if KKKarl Rove).

You know it's a lie when it's OUT OF BOUNDS!

bang...she is out of a job

no conspiracy....no, "we hate you cuz you are smart and have a vagina" she was just totally incompetent

and it has taken hp 5 years to climb out of the mess she got them into

Besides, selling a bad product is nothing new: Detroit has been selling 19th-century technology for decades, and the SUV was just a way to repurpose pickup-truck plants.

So I don't say electing McCain is a good idea - even for big business. But it's what they've decided to do, and the media is one of their tools.

Notice how the video went to a clean pattern at about 7 seconds after the words McCain and Lied were used? I think someone switched to an alternate feed, as oposed to an accidental loss that usually goes to white noise..

“Technical difficulties” pretty well sums up what happens to a typical 'Red State' when mother nature pays a call,
they have such twisted priorities in Republican states, minimum taxes, public utilities and services cut to the bone,
they cant cope when the inevitable happens.

Notice how the video went to a clean pattern at about 7 seconds after the words McCain and Lied were used? I think someone switched to an alternate feed, as oposed to an accidental loss that usually goes to white noise..

that would happen automatically when the feed vanishes, a test card type thing.

I know a little black dog named Tucker. She's a sweetie and even has a neck. Not pathetic like the Tuckers we are discussing.

And remember Preston Tucker, the visionary car maker who had the audacity to design in safety features such as seat belts, padded dashes, multi directional headlights and crumple zones 20 years or more before Detroit adopted them.

This guy is the epitome of a weasel...

The online version of the WSJ both quotes Tucker Bounds and mentions Obama's use of earmarks.

It is unfortunate that the feed got cut because he seemed to be getting ready to make a "liberal media" argument... which would make perfect sense given that the WSJ is owned by... Rupert Murdoch?

The pattern reads VYVX - Washington, so i guess the problem occurred there, or is it more complicated than that?

What a little weasel.

Did anyone else notice that in the video, right before the part that is transcribed in the post, O'Donnell was starting to followup about Rove and the 100% truth test comment when she stopped and went to the posted question? Is it me, or did she seem to get a message thru the earpiece? She seemed to tilt her head and almost put a hand to her ear.

Yep, you are right! Very obvious. She was stopped dead in her tracks.

Have you noticed that whenever the topic is about Obama the msm has McCain surrogate on to criticize and if the topic is about McCain they have McCain surrogate on to praise. Somthing is missing here.

Hey Obama Campaign, Have You Seen This?
http://www.alternet.org/blogs/video/98581/hey_obama_campaign%2C_have_you...

PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE

I've been wondering why all of our supposed talent (filmmakers, videomakers, in the business or artsists - I'm talking to you) has been lying low - when Obama needs all of it, now. In the primaries there was real excitement - Will.i.am and so forth - what happened? I'm kind of surprised that the MSM hasn't noticed the energy here on the web except seemingly for "Bloggers" - haha! Why is the Obama campaign itself not making or seeking fresh talent? To me his ads seem sooo weak, compared to the brilliance we see in commercials and films today. There's so much contemporary talent (much of it, in my experience, is left leaning - not that it's exclusive) to be tapped. Strong message making - ala good film-making - doesn't have to be thought of as unethical or using Republican (illegal propaganda) tactics when it makes use of it's inherent persuasive qualities to make a strong point. This video is so great - OBAMA CAMPAIGN HELLO! Please use my campaign donations to buy air time for this entire video. Their budget for ads must be huge, they don't seem to be using it wisely yet IMHO.
Curious as to archives that are storing these videos for future use and re-use? Copyright law? People with films to share with the campaign?

Filmmaker who ever you are - thanks.

It's not more complicated than that. There's a switcher with all of the feeds coming in, and one out to air. It can switch any source to air, on command. In case of an unanticipated event, the switcher operator puts the station id out, as happened here. It's extremely implausible that they didn't have another camera or line out at the origination end, or that the entire power for the transmitting station went out. There's one person at the switch, one on the other headset. They get their orders from the producer, who gets her/his orders from the network rep on the other end. It's, in the end, a small heirarchical link of a handful of people, making a strange choice - at whose command?

Please watch the second video. Please.

That was excellent. Used to go to Alternet all the time, need to go back. Thanks, sent that to two idiots who probably won't watch it, but maybe if they do this could be just the thing to get them thinking

Alice X - (Chomsky Nader) - status quObama - change you can pretend in - @ 1:

Be very suspicious of the MSM, at all times.

Palin was a great choice, most of America agrees, even the Democrats, about time for a fresh perspective. And troopergate? LOL if you care about that you are really clueless, nothing happened there FYI hate to break it to you, no one was pressured to fire the asshole who threatened their family, but I bet the Liberals would have promoted him (and taken away his gun too)? Biden was chosen because Obama has no experience whatsoever. Ask Obama a question and you don't get an answer, what are your plans Obama for the economy? Tax everyone more, drive the economy down the drain and as if you don't already take enough of our money. Answer a question, any question without Bush in the answer, are people really going to vote for a guy who knows Bush won't be President right??? Can someone tell the guy please... Can't wait for the debates...

The chickens sure are coming home to roost for the Republican smear machine. It must really suck for them to be called out like this with 6+ weeks still to go before the election.

Bwah hah hah hah hah hah hah...

Earmarks? Return my state's tax money so we can build infrastructure and economic growth? Is no money supposed to come back this way? I don't get it, what's wrong with getting money back from the taxes your state has paid? Someone explain this, who gives a shit? Please focus on why Obaba went to Pakistan in college? Enquiring minds want to know, most of us went to a beach somewhere, no.... I'll go to Pakistan? WhAt?

McCains health records? We know he is old, and experienced, and a prisoner of war, we get it. I know my grandpa is old too, I don't want to know how his colon is, ok enough said. I can't believe 47% of this country really thinks voting for Obama will change Washington, voting for a liberal president only will isolate the country more than it already is. So if you were really thinking of country first, you'd vote for McCain. That is a great slogan by the way. I was an Obama supporter early on, but it is definitely evident that they are behind and have shifted from their message. Someone tell Obama that everything that is wrong is not Bush's fault, and either is everything that is good. There are people a lot smarter than any President who come up with advisory ideas. Proof - why Biden was chosen, his views over Obama on everything LOL, now that is irony at it's finest. Change, change, change, but you don't have the experience to even pick a VP who comes with change.

Pardon a colorful metaphor but Tucker Bounds
is a major league angry SCUMBAG

This morning Andrea Mitchell was interviewing Carly Fiorino re lobbyists on McCain
campaign staff and the new Obama ad. CF said that Obama had lobbyists on his campaign and for him to complain about McCain was "like the pot calling the kettle black". In view of all the fainting and swooning over the lipstick on a pig comment, I would have expected someone, anyone, to comment on the blatant racism of that comment...after all wasn't she calling Obama black. Been waiting all day and nary a word from anyone.

POW... come on, stop, you are just making everyone who supports Obama look bad. The guy was a soldier for us and captive by a hostile enemy for many years. There are soldiers and families now, and even Obama himself who are insulted by anyone's comments against military service. What is your point anyway?

Did they cut the feed because he was going to explain that Obama got more earmarks than any Senator? Also that Obama got more Fannie and Freddie money than anyone else in a 3 year period? This is MSNBC right? They did Obama a favor by cutting the feed, you all got it opposite. And if earmarks are the topic, Obama takes the cake on that issue, that is no secret. So McCain wins then, because their campaign got less of them... next topic to be pwnt on? Nice conspiracy try democrats...

I guess we'll see if most of America agrees. Frankly I doubt it. The rest of your rant is pure lunacy. I do agree on one point though, I can't wait for the debates. To be honest I suspect some bullshit reason will be invented to keep Palin off the stage. Biden will eat her alive.

Has anyone seen this right-wing garbage? My older brother, a Republican, sent it to me. It was emailed to him from some right-wing hate group (a.k.a. your basic Republican email chain). It's some crazy African-American preacher from Harlem who calls himself "The Hon. James David Manning, Ph". I'm guessing the "Ph" stands for "Phoney." The video is mostly just this nut calling Obama's mother all kinds of hateful things. I only made it 30 seconds the first time I tried to watch it, and the second time I made it to the 5-minute mark before I had to turn it off (it's apparently 8 minutes and 23 seconds long altogether). Only people with strong stomachs should watch. It should make you sick, if you have any soul. Republicans apparently find it humorous. Link is in the email below:

Does anyone know who this Hon. James David Manning, Ph is? And more importantly, does John McCain know he's being endorsed by this guy? If so, McCain should immediately condemn the remarks.

Jump off rats...it's time to start jumping. Hell, even rove is grabbing onto a life jacket.

No problem--- someone just tripped over the plug... yeah that's the ticket....

it was a plan from God

those are the weakest arguments....but i guess what can one expect when you have nothing else to stand on. all i ever hear from mccain/palin is how their solution to f'in everything is reducing/vetoing earmarks - and the crowds cheer.

earmarks r such a small % of our total debt & i wish someone would bring this up to every john, dick & tucker!

I don't see Tucker Bounds staying on the campaign all the way to the election. It seems like his Campbell Brown interview has the media smelling blood on him, and they come at him harder than other shills. This interview was "interrupted" right as Bounds began flailing on McCain's lying about Palin's earmarks.

125...navyblu

what? This interview was about earmarks, I guess we agree then, who the hell cares if any of them received money from the feds. Isn't that what states do? Geeze. Dems made this an issue because that's all they can think of about Palin, what a stupid issue it is, at least we agree on that. If it's a negative, it's a backfire on Obama since he got more.

Give me an issue that you think Obama is stronger on, just one... and I'll reply back again.

118 Peter G

Right on! Sort of rhetoric, but same stuff from the Dems, but yes debates, debates, debate, there will be 3 I guess.... can't wait. Right on Peter G, change your vote after them I suspect :)

Well I think I finally see the "Change" McBush has been promising.

We are going to go from BULLSHIT
to MOOSESHIT

Tucker is still cleaning up the urine stains on his pants and the drool on his chin.

I'm thinking ole' Tucker may need to be replaced with a more articulate spokesperson.

118 Peter G

Also on the debate with Binden/Palin, have you seen her in action? I have and she is awesome. Watch the Alaska debates and you'll be worried trust me. She is all that and then some. Biden is bitter and plays the blame game and will look like an idiot, remember Bush Clinton? LOL, after the debates then anyone who tracks the issues will vote for McCain.

Seriously, what issues does Obama represent? I've asked this question above, and still no reply with ONE thing. I HOPE for just one fact without a liberal calling someone a weasel or other... One FACT, please!!!!! I really can't stand Obama now, especially after today's Great Depression comment. Whoever buys into that, he only says that to scare people into voting for him. Once he is in office, do you think he will say that? Oh wait, if things continue to decline he will blame Bush still... how long will that last until the country figures it out, 4 years... let me answer that.

People don't be stupid, just give me something that he stands for, anything I'll ask again...

Cool! Maybe he just ceased to exist - or disappeared into the fifth dimension...

Unbeknownst to him, for the rest of eternity, he'll be sitting in a small room speaking at a camera that exists only at the exact moment when someone in the universe pops a zit.

129...

Typical Liberal comment, seriously what does Obama stand for? Name one god damn thing please...

133...

LOL, good one. I agree he is a tard. But focus on the issues, if the issue was earmarks, Obama got more. Obama also got more from Fannie and Freddie in a 3 year period than anyone in history... but really who gives a shit if the feds give them money to improve a road or something they deem worthy. Ask them what they used the money for, better question.

129...

McBush... wtf is that? That is just stupid. What issue do you think is negative towards McCain that he agreed with Bush on? Name one.

QUESTION... where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton at on all these issues? I'd like to see them with Obama discussing all of these issues. Gee let me guess they will never appear on NBC until after the election? Can you all guess why? WAKE UP

Oh, and also-

The only, and I mean only way Americans will get any substantial "change" is to elect someone NOT Republican or Democrat.

I mean really. How many times do you hear the names Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader or Bob Barr mentioned? Or how 'bout the Fascist party nominee Alan Keyes? Or maybe Prohibition Party's Gene Amondson?

C'mon, step out of your boxes. Make it interesting.

On Iraq... do you know why Iraq or WMD that was such a big issue is not a part of Obama fear tactics? Because they found yellowcake there. Do you all know what Yellowcake is? Look it up and you will find out why we went. Gee the WMD issue sure got quiet all of a sudden. Think people... but the liberals still fault Bush for questionable intelligence, just because it's the popular thing to do. It's not the kind of stuff that is used to bake cakes people.

Please press Obama on the issues, don't let him answer questions with Bush at the beginning. THINK about this for a while before you cast your vote.

138 ...

You have a good point for independents, and I'm partially with ya, but don't trust our country to the lesser qualified candidate.

Still not ONE comment as to what Obama stands for that is good for this country, I'm waiting...

I'm so "INSPIRED" by Obama's speech today that I'll go get in the bread line tomorrow morning...

What a joke this is, I'm shocked McCain only leads by a few points. Soon it will be a lot more.

In other words, "Yes, it was a complete lie, but, but, but... Obama...waaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaah." I saw this tool on CNN. You didn't miss anything. He goes on and on and on like a broken record. I think they inserted a disc in his "brain" and it's playing on all the channels today: same message.

actually... mcliar and painlin were the ones who have based their economic policies on earmarks... but, it's no surprise at all that goose-stepping brownshirts like yourself would mimic the tired and pathetic meme of rethuglican smearing that we've all grown so accustomed to... i will agree that it is a stupid issue and a very idiotic plank in an excruciatingly weak economic platform... obama is stronger on ALL the issues... the only thing that the dems have been discussing as an issue is the blatant hypocrisy of a desperate party that has nothing to offer the american people except a continuing slide into a quagmire of mismanagement...

Actually, I think if someone really cared to invesigage--not gonna happe--it would be possible to demonstrate whether the "technical difficulties" were on purpose or not.

Between this Tucker tool and Nancy Pfpfpfpfpfpfpfffhotenhower,
and their relentless fire-breathing, lying, blowhardiness (tm),
it's enough to make any sane person wanna scratch their eyes out.

How do these people sleep at night, knowing they had a
hand in helping to destroy America? It takes a special kind of
wingnut to do it so effortlessly, and with such robotic precision.

Seems to be proving that theory about people called Tucker

This is creepy. I have noticed a couple of times that the sound gets interfered with when someone is criticising the McCain campaign on MSNBC. I thought I was just being paranoid. But, what the heck?? Right? Anyone else out there seen that happen recently?

He does look like an SNL character.
