the “Big O,” or, as I like to think, the “Big Zero”

CNN interviewed lifelong conservative and Rock and Roll legend Pat Boone at the CNN Grill.

A couple highlights:

I thought because of the tremendous media adulation problem [over Sen. Barack Obama] and also because George Bush’s rating is low that it was like everybody seemed to think it was a slam dunk for the Democrats. And, amazingly, despite all of that adulation, hype and everything else, [Sen. John] McCain is sticking right in there with Obama, and he really hasn’t begun his campaign yet.

On Governor Palin

Here’s somebody in a party that is living its principles

Sen. Obama, I  think, showed his lack of judgment by not choosing the best-qualified woman that he could have chosen as his running mate, one who had already proven able to get 18 million votes. He passed, and he took Joe Biden, who has been in the Senate longer than McCain, which doesn’t bespeak change. Meanwhile, McCain chooses a highly qualified, attractive woman, and I think it just shows that the “Big O,” or, as I like to think, the “Big Zero,” has missed his golden chance. I think he will lose because of this.

CNN.com: Is there a Pat Boone classic you’d like to play for McCain?

Boone: I wrote and produced a music video which I’m offering to the campaign called “For My Country,” the ballad of the National Guard. It is supportive of the troops, supportive of the surge, supportive of McCain who is, whose slogan is “Country First.” And the National Guard and our military are winning the battle in Iraq, even though Obama says we did not support it, we’re winning.

It’s always fun, and unfortunately a novelty, to see an entertainer that is a conservative.

  1. “It’s always fun, and unfortunately a novelty, to see an entertainer that is a conservative.”

    Yeah, but wasn’t this post about Pat Boone? J, are you saying he’s an entertainer? A Rock and Roll Legend? I wonder what Debbie’s up to these days.

  2. In the day, Pat was an entertainer. I actually heard him host a radio show last year on the station that plays Sinatra and Dino. If I remember right, he played one of Jackie Gleason’s songs.
