McCain Camp can't say if McCain has read the three-page "bail-out" proposal

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/25/has-mccain-read-the-bailout-bill/

(CNN) � As John McCain returned to Capitol Hill Thursday to support the passage of a package to address the nation�s financial crisis, Democrats spent the morning gleefully directing reporters to a statement from the Republican nominee Tuesday � three days after the bailout bill was introduced � that he had not read the text of the administration�s proposal.

"I have not had a chance to see it in writing. I have to examine it,� he told a Cleveland television station.

The McCain campaign said Thursday the Arizona senator had immediately been briefed on the elements of the plan � but could not say whether or not he had since read the three-page proposal, pointing instead to his meetings with congressional leaders and briefings with top officials. They also said the question was less relevant because final text was likely to be different than the original proposal.

1. First thing you want to do, when acting on a proposal about a so-called "crisis"...

is to fucking read the proposal. Which was released over the weekend. It's now Thursday. Holy shit, what a useless waste of skin he is.

3. He suspends his campaign to fly back to DC so he can have a say

on the bill, but doesn't bother to read it? And says, "that's OK, they'll be changing it anyway".

Uh, Senator, wasn't it the whole idea that you wanted to DIRECT the changes? Or do you think it's enough for other people to do the work, then you vote 'yea' or 'nay' once THEY'VE finished with it?

GREAT leadership, there.
