"Leading" By Example

Let me see if I have this straight. McCain pretends to "suspend" his campaign in an effort to avoid debating Obama, er, I mean, in an effort to "save" the country re: the bailout. He flies off to Warshington (as he pronounces it), calls in a favor with his best buddy Duh, gets Duh to set up a photo-op, er, meeting, then shows his leadership ability by sitting quietly in the meeting for a solid 40 minutes, then once everyone had had their say, proceeds to wreck the meeting and the negotiations by asking for less regulation and more CEO parachute money.

Then, after Obama boxes him into a corner, he reluctantly agrees to debate, does an OK job, then seeing as he is still boxed in due to his political "save the country/bailout" stunt, he has to go back to Warshington for the weekend to pretend that his campaign is "suspended" and pretend that he is a GOP leader and is rallying his party to agree to the bailout plan, thus saving America.

Believing that his superhero work was done in Warshington, he "resumes" his "suspended" campaign, lands in Columbus and proceeds to take full credit for passing the bailout bill just an hour before it dies in Warshington.

Oh Magoo, you've done it again. Priceless.
