So after trying to cut and run, McCain is going to try to cut his losses instead.

This surprises someone?

“My friends, I was for the suspension before I was against it. . .”

I bet McSame is Flop-sweating now!

hey there sweet bones

i guess high school classes will resume after the tantrum

lookey at this

Sources say Alberto Gonzales now claims that President Bush personally directed him to John Ashcroft’s hospital room in the infamous wiretap renewal incident—and that in another instance the President asked him to fabricate fictitious notes

Thanks egregious! McShame’s got a guaranteed win ya know.

Morning Egregious… how are you doing today?? Ya mean I can pop the popcorn and roll up all my socks and put the deflector screen in front of the TV to get ready for the party tonight??

Just noticed this while reading the transcript. Sarah Palin, from the Couric/Palin interview:

So health care reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions…

Scan it again.

Yes, that’s right. Sarah Palin actually said: “reducing taxes … has got to accompany tax reductions.”

Amazing.

.

Cue the Villagers’ whine: “Well, of course McCain won’t do the best he could in this debate, he’s been in DeeCee fixing the economy for two days!”

As if.

LOL I was still two threads back. You all are moving fast today

see my #6

Yesterday, when the deal was all but done, he comes to ‘rescue’ it and it collapses.

Today, with both sides much further apart, “enough progress had been made to go ahead” with the campaign and the debate.

Bullshit.

It should now be seen as the ploy that it was — a way to distract from Palin’s pitful interview and Davis’ lying about taking money from Freddie Mac.

I think without the distraction, the Davis story might have become so big he’d have to resign from McGramp’s campaign.

Digg is Now open for your Digging pleasure!!

Great job, Betsy. That’s priceless.

Today’s GOP: They think you’re stupid.

The Debate is On: McCain Flip-Flops Again

This just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

Suspension Bridge to Nowhere.

McCain debated debating at the debate and being the decisive kind of guy he is he decided he would, he wouldn’t, then he would. That’s leadership I believe we can all not believe to believe in.

Hmm didn’t you pups know that McCain already won the debate?

and water is still wet

Suspension Bridge to Nowhere.

I like it.

You’re channeling Palin?

As if. Fer sure!
Even if you’re not always here, when you are, you make teh sense, because I was athinkin’ the same thing.
But, Mr. O’s been working in dee cee too. And, how about that Mr. Dodd. He’s been working hard too.

This has been a great cover for the WaMu collapse and the $25 Billion to the Big 3 Autos

Via Think Progress on McCain’s involvement in negotiating the bailout:

Bailout negotiations “dissolved into a verbal brawl” at the White House yesterday, as some House Republicans, led by Eric Cantor (R-VA), said they wouldn’t back a bipartisan negotiation on the package. The House GOP faction stunned the participants at the meeting yesterday by announcing their own plan which “advocates tax cuts and relaxed regulations.”

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has said the House GOP proposal would not work. “Democratic leaders questioned McCain’s involvement in the House Republicans’ opposition to the plan.” McCain met with House GOP leaders before heading to the White House, but neither party seemed to know what they were talking about:

Boehner and McCain discussed the bailout plan, but Republican leadership aides described the conversation as somewhat surreal. Neither man was familiar with the details of the proposal being pressed by House conservatives, and up to the moment they departed for the White House yesterday afternoon, neither had seen any description beyond news reports.

At 1:25 p.m., McCain left Boehner’s office through a back door, walking across the Capitol’s rotunda to the applause of tourists. Graham conceded the group knew little about the plan the nominee had come to Washington to try to shape.

At the bipartisan White House meeting that McCain “didn’t speak until 43 minutes into the meeting.” He “sat silently for more than 40 minutes, more observer than leader, and then offered only a vague sense of where he stood, said people in the meeting

(bold mine)

looks as though Wacovia may be next

oo I love the flip flop picture
with the waves of defeat lapping at his heels.

… and a host of others …

This $700 Billion will seem like a drop in the bucket by this time next year …

DOW is still down

What time does the debate party start here ?

Yes, please. I’m gonna need a reality-based venue for tonight.

Debate is at 9pm EST but I’m sure that there will be pre-debate festivities

The Presidential debate will go on as scheduled. So McCain’s campaign suspension is suspended. Or something.

problem is, the campaign was never suspended in the first place, his adds still ran, his surrogates still attacked, he still speachafied

Where does “I didn’t have a table for 5 years” and “I was a POW” fit in?

Given that he flipped on Wednesday, I am glad to hear that he has flopped as of today.
