....That's about the best way one can describe the moment when John McCain was asked about "the elephant in the livingroom" by Talk Show Host Ellen Degeneres...
The link to the video is HERE.
McCain's remarks were fine, so far as they went. The problem was twofold: A) He allowed Ellen complete control over how the "debate" was framed (as to be expected, she cast the discussion in terms of "fairness," spoke in terms of homosexual marriage being just another "civil right," and insisted that "we're all the same" - - heterosexual relationships, homosexual relationships - - they are all "the same" - - whatever that's supposed to mean). And B) McCain looked horrified. He looked frightened. He didn't even look Ellen in the eye as he disagreed with her. He looked away at the points where he "politely disagreed."
McCain's position on the issue is more in line with that of a majority of Americans, than is Obama's position, or Ellen's, or Hillary's. But if our prospective President can't look Ellen in the eye and politely disagree with her....this is going to be a huge problem for the remainder of his campaign...
