Ah, foolish Ellen, inviting the biggest name at the moment from the biggest organisation that not only opposes the most basic of human rights for gay people, but generates false fear in the people of the US through lies and general mis-information about gay people in order to win elections. Silly, silly Ellen.

Classy Ellen will give him just enough rope to hang himself, and then turn on her dopey, aww-schucks charm.

Please, please, please Ellen, let him have it. If he's coming on your show he should expect it. If you don't, I'll never talk to you again.

Yikes.

Unless things have changed since the last presidential election, Ellen's production company is required to invite McCain on the show, because there's some obscure FCC rule about giving each presidential candidate equal opportunity to appear on the air. During the last election cycle, either Letterman or Leno made fun of the law by having every obscure third-party candidate appear onstage and scream their platforms into the camera at once.

Still, I hope she gives McCain that sweet, charming hell she's known for.
