John McCain: I haven't read the Paulson plan

John McCain on Tuesday, Sept. 23rd in Cleveland Ohio says he hasn't read the Paulson plan.

NBC Cleveland OH, 09/23/08

McCain revealed in an interview with a Cleveland TV station Tuesday that he hadn’t yet read the administration’s three-page bailout proposal.

"I have not had a chance to see it in writing,” McCain said. “I have to examine it.”

The admission does raise questions about exactly how McCain can rescue the rescue if he doesn’t know what’s in the original bill.

But McCain aides assure that McCain was just answering the question literally – about the actual text – and not referring to the elements in the draft.

You know, the Paulson plan is all of THREE FREAKING PAGES long. I thought he went back to Washington so he could stay on top of this shit, but he can't read a fucking 3-page bill?

Yeah, this guy is ready for the White House.

mkknyrsays...

everyday this guy just seems more and more like a bad joke. i can't even remember the last time he said something and i nodded my head along, thinking "okay, i don't generally agree with you, but this time you actually sound sensible."

you know, even bush's address last nite on the economy described the crisis in a way that finally i could put the pieces together and understand fundamentally what's going on. that's right... i actually learned something listening to george bush. but this idiot McCain... it's really unbearable, the thought of four years of listning to this bumbling idiot.

both mccain and palin seem like they could actually do worse for this country than cheney-bush. it reminds me of this quote from H.L. Mencken:

"As democracy is perfected, the office [of the Presidency] represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
