Stephanopoulos & McCain for reasons unknown decided to conduct an interview on twitter. This seemed asinine and annoying to me until I saw that Steph called it “an interesting experiment.” I love social experiments so at that point I was in. Hell, I thought that being on a reality show was a fab social experiment.
Here’s the transcript:
SenJohnMcCain hi george im a little slow
SenJohnMcCainHappy St. Patricks day
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Happy St Patrick’s Day! First things first: How do u tweet — dictate or type? Blackberry or pc?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos Happy St. Patrick’s day - slow, sometimes pc somtimes bb
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain AIG: Would a President McCain break bonus contracts? Obama teams says that would cause more harm than good
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos i would have never bailed out AIG, the real scandal is billions to foreign banks.
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain ok, but today: should bonus contracts be broken? Dodd wants a targeted tax on bonuses OK with that?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos i haven’t seen it but i would explore every option. i repeat, we wouldn’t have this problem if we hadn’t bailed them out
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain RIght, but didn’t you vote for first TARP, which went to AIG?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos i voted for first tarp but that doesn’t mean i voted to bail out AIG.
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Obama says GOP can’t “just say no” on budget Will you offer a full alternative to Obama budget?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos I’m working with others on alternatives - cong paul ryan has some great ideas.
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos to follow up - first AIG bailout was pre-tarp.
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Take point on 1st AIG bailout How about budget? Will you offer alternative?
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain What worries you more: Pakistan or Iran?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos both. the challenges are different but both significant.
GStephanopoulos@SenJohMcCain Cheney said on CNN that Obama putting US at risk of new terror attack Agree?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos too early to draw that conclusion.
GStephanopoulos@SenJohnMcCain Lots of twitterers want to know: what do you think of Meghan’s feud with Coulter and Ingraham?
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos I’m proud of my daughter and she has a right to her opinions.
SenJohnMcCain@GStephanopoulos like any family we agree on some things and disagree on others.
