I refreshed my browser that was pointed at Bloomberg.com to make sure I wasn’t seeing things before visiting a handful of other sites to confirm that senile mccain seriously suspended his campaign. Is he kidding?

No matter what “crisis” occurs, neither candidate should suspend their campaign during this democratic process of selecting a president. This is a presidential general election – not a sporting event. What is the mccain camp thinking?

Sort of boring but conducive to people watching. Some of the passengers are interesting to say the least.

In the above link, Ben Smith reports that Katie Couric and Joe Biden were talking about the leadership the White House must show when markets are in turmoil. Hey Ben, actually watch the interview – I wouldn’t trust you to order a pizza.

1) Unlike what Smith “reported.” White House leadership was never mentioned during the aired interview with Couric.

2) FDR was the governor of New York during the 1929 crash. This said, like New York Governor Paterson this time around, FDR got on the airwaves and showed great leadership.

3) Ben Smith is an idiot…

You can skip forward to the 1:45 minute mark to see the “gaffe” in question…

P.S. Biden did misspeak – the television didn’t exist in 1929. One should assume he meant radio since FDR was a presence on the radio airwaves during the Wall Street crash.

The general election should OFFICIALLY end once this hits the nightly news tonight. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how these rat bastards try to squirm themselves out of this lie…

“One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager from the end of 2005 through last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

The disclosure contradicts a statement Sunday night by Mr. McCain that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had no involvement with the company for the last several years. Mr. Davis’s firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the people said.”
