Man, this whole election thing just gets better and better, doesn't it?
Today, McCain called for a time out. He wants to take a step back and figure out this whole Wall Street deal...even though, as of last night, he, uh, hadn't read it.
That's cool, right? The guy is running for President, after all. It's probably pretty hard to get your hands on a brand-spanking new three-page legal proposal when you're out on the campaign trail. You'd think the guy could find Internet access somewhere on the road. But, hey, maybe not. Who am I to judge?
Besides, it's been a rough couple of weeks. Who's had time to do homework? Certainly not this lady:
She acts like every interview she's done is a quiz she forgot to study for. And she was McCain's superstar! Can you blame him for taking a powder? I mean, she's doing stuff like this on TV and having to get tutorials on (from?) world leaders? She's busy, man! She's so busy, she couldn't even meet Bono like she planned! No that's busy!
And she's got to be tired. She spent seconds under the bright hot spotlight of uncontrolled media scrutiny this past week, talking about Karzai's kid. I hope McCain doesn't spend up all her superstar capital in one spot!
You know what, though, I'm on board with this plan...the whole taking time out. It's about time Maverick got back to the Beltway and started kicking some ass! He's got to get back there and show them what real ethics and oversight are all about. He's gonna take on Wall Street goons and their Golden Parachutes and the lobbyists who've helped them descend on Washington and anybody else who gets in the way of freedom (from regulation)!
But before he can do all that...he needs to put on the brakes on this whole...presidential thing. He needs to put away partisanship and ambition by showing the country what kind of leader he'll be should we become embroiled in multiple crises after he becomes President (with a capital "P").
And, you know, he's learned from the best. He knows that the serfs, er, people want their leaders tanned, rested and ready, dealing with one issue at a time. They don't want a guy who can multi-task! Walking and chewing gum? Fugettaboutit! Patting head and rubbing tummy? Fugettaboutit! Multi-tasking's for suckers!
