McCain Hasn’t Even Read the Bush Bailout Plan.
Un. Fucking. Believable. And I am talking about the Bush/Paulson plan that was submitted to Congress nearly ten days ago.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnsNOEgp-_o[/youtube]
Here is the script:
ANCHOR: As for the massive Wall Street bailout McCain insists it have…
JSM: Oversight that is effective and transparent. We need people like Warren Buffet and Mike Bloomberg and Mitt Romney to have an oversight of this. We can’t put that responsibility in the hands of one person.
ANCHOR: The crunch question. Would you vote for it as it’s presently constructed?
JSM: I have not had a chance to see it in writing so I have to examine that.
The video is from September 23. Two days ago. The Emergency Bush/Paulson bailout plan was three pages long, and basically demanded money, eliminated oversight, abolished courts and made Paulson Lord Emperor of the Universe.
McCain is so divorced from reality that he did not read a three page document for ten days. You know, maybe McCain finally read it yesterday, and he realized, for the first time, that the economy really is in serious straights, and maybe he realized how woofully unprepared he is to deal with the crisis and/or how unprepared he is to debate.
It was three whole pages, so cut some slack.
“We need people like Warren Buffet and Mike Bloomberg and Mitt Romney to have an oversight of this.”
Of course, we need billionaires and millionaires watching over this to tell us when they need to suck more money from the American taxpayers.
It is the republican way.
To be fair to McCain, he couldn’t remember where he set down his reading glasses for 3 days. Turns out they were on top of his head.
anyone who read tommywonk on saturday (i don’t know how to do links or i’d link to it) could read the proposal in its entirety.
oh, that’s right – mcain doesn’t do computers.
Wait, there’s more:
“BARTIROMO: Sen. McCain, has Ben Bernanke cut interests rates aggressively enough?
McCAIN: I’m not…I’m not…I don’t have that kind of expertise to know exactly whether he has cut interest rates suffiently or not. I’m glad that whenever they cut interest rates. I wish interest rates were zero.”
FREE MONEY!!!!!! Mcinsane is getting my vote now!
LOL!!!!! That just proves how much of an idiot McCain is when it comes to the economy. He wants interest rates to be zero???????
DD – Is that a surprise?
We’ve got two idiots running for President.
I know. McCain and Palin (Palin thinks she is running for President too, she is that dumb).
LOL, DD! So McCain has to rush to Washington so that he can read the bailout proposal? What an idiot! This new proposal much be must harder, because I hear it’s more on the order of 30 pages. At McCain’s reading rate that’ll be thirty days.
Oh noes!!!! We will have to cancel all the debates then!!!!!!
For 5 and half years, John McCain was UNABLE to skate along in life.
Love the animation DD!
for 5 and a half years John McCain didnt have an economy to not understand!!!
For once I agree with Mike W. McCain and Palin are both idiots.
I agree with conservative douchebags by saying that we should be led by our least and dimmest our country has to offer!
You gotta see the other videos of the Palin interviews with Couric. She is so ignorant and unable to string coherent thoughts together that she makes GWB look like William Shakespeare.
This is who the repubs would have running our country.
I don’t have any clips, but I’ll try and find some and get back to ya!
