John Kerry: McCain's stunt today "silly and impulsive and erratic".

Wow, JK but done but NAILED McCain on his ridiculous suspension of his campaign and postponement of the debate on account of the financial markets *cough* poll numbers *cough* collapsing:

:shrug:

John's said it well here.

Rachel Maddow and Tweety did a damn fine job summing up McCain's behavior today, too -- "How would you like 8 years of McCain's razzle dazzle?" :scared:

what ratings it has received.

Shorter Kerry: McMoron.

works better. God, I love the Kerry zingers this election season.

This phrase has the odd effect of emphasizing the fact that the media needs to look at who is on that committee. They are the people who (with their staffers) will write this legislation. (Kerry is on Finance, which he became of member of I think around 2000 when he gave up his position in the banking committee. He knows exactly who is on the committees.)

I like McMoron but it might be more McGrandstand. The deal worked out will be the work mostly of Democrats like Dodd and Frank, yet this is attempt to claim it was his Superman like descent on DC that caused it. Chuck Todd was speaking of his view that the House Republicans were before this likely to reject the deal the Democrats would propose and that that would hurt McCain. Now, McCain does know how to use a phone and could even get an aide to type a Blackberry message, I think this does not explain his actions. He could even schedule a tele-conference, the technology for which goes back to the 1980s! In fact, it was an attempt to take credit for the broad points Obama put out first and to be the "bi-partisan one".

He could have made that point JUST BY GOING TO DC. I think his actions went into overkill. How does stopping ads conflict with leading Congress? (when he is not on the relevant committees and has no real background in these issues - he really doesn't know much about economics.) He also said he was stopping fundraising - but I thought he took the government financing. Either way, as long as he is not personally doing it, where is the conflict?

Kerry is right with the word "erratic".

:kick:

JK, you tell 'em!

spring john mccain from prison where he was being tortured?he did not.

let everyone know he hadn't left.

The old coot is still in NY

that he was flying immediately to DC. Oh, and that quote from Kerry was from yesterday after a closed session meeting.

Of course he wants to be on the record as having voted for the bailout and saved humanity from financial catastrophe. :rofl:

Silly. Impulsive. Erratic.


Kerry nailed it.

"Do we really need another cowboy in the White House?"

response regarding McCain's wacky notion of not debating.
