OK now this is just getting silly. Just in from Politico, we learn that:
As part of a plan to reinvigorate his flagging campaign, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is considering additional economic measures aimed directly at the middle class that are likely to be rolled out this week, campaign officials said.
Ooohh goodie! Another rollout! All the other McFAIL rollouts have been just bubbling over with extra mavericky goodness, so this next one is sure to be the one that finally turns things around for Grumpy McLAMEASS
Jump for the details....
What could he have in mind this time? His mortgage bailout scheme was such an overwhelming success, just what else does this economic mastermind have in store to rescue us from this financial crisis?
Among the measures being considered are tax cuts – perhaps temporary – for capital gains and dividends, the officials said.
Tax Cuts! Why didn't Obama think of that? Maybe because it's just yet another flailing lurch by a desperate old man in way over his head to try and "define" himself in the last few weeks of his failing campaign?
Officials could not say what the package might include because more than 30 ideas have been put in front of McCain during the current crisis, and they said he has to choose what to unveil and when.
Well at least he gets to choose. More than 30 ideas!! Let's spin the big wheel!
McCain’s new package would amount to a do-over from the hasty introduction of McCain’s mortgage buy-up program, which was widely criticized by conservatives and was seized on by Obama as a fresh target.
I want a do-over! I'm sorry, but is this not the most pathetic thing you've ever heard? The country is in the midst of the biggest economic crisis in several generations, we're less than 30 days out from perhaps the most important presidential election in our lifetimes and Grumpy McClueless wants a do-over so he can keep flinging more shit at the wall to see what might stick?
GIVE. ME. A. FUCKING. BREAK.
It's gonna be a long 24 days....isn't it?
