Are they insane?
Suspend the campaign? Neither McCain nor Obama needs to be in Washington DC, they're both senators who can make their influence felt in congress from anywhere, fer cripessake one of them's gonna be president, & they can fly there to cast their votes. There may be a bipartisan "fix" to the financial crisis, but hey we're deciding on the next four years here, on a whole range of issues - health care, energy, war, peace - minor stuff like that - & there's only six weeks left to do it. Let's give these two guys & their running mates byes. You can keep on campaigning. It's alright with us. Show us your multi-taskin' skills. John? John?
One task at time. Have to suspend campaign & go save America.
McCain is jive ass, & yes it is possible he's so habitually jive ass that he believes his jive ass self isn't jive ass at all, but that just means he's hustling people on another level. The jive ass giveaway is when he says, "I'm suspending my jive assing campaign & keeping it real." Which means, of course, that his campaign rolls on, & the new tactic is that he "suspended" his campaign, & he's a lying jive ass.
Letterman not pleased McCain cut & run on a scheduled appearance tonight. Dave liked McCain - might be past tense now - & the Senator could have sat in the guest chair for four segments talking about anything he wanted. Letterman thinks he should have sent "his second string quarterback." His replacement as guest: Keith Olbermann. Not Amy Sedaris. Not Regis. Not Elvis Costello. Not any of the other usual short notice fill-ins. Keith raised the possibility that one of the four debates might have to be canceled, given how few dates are available, & guess which one? The VP debate! Imagine how Palin's handlers are freaking out trying to prep her for it, two weeks to go, her independent poll numbers dropping, & the bar already set at "I'm only 95% clueless."
BTW, attempting to track down the source of the "Biden Dropping Out Internet Rumor" I never heard until it popped up as a Fox News headline, Google takes it in a big circle through right wing websites until it ends up right back at Fox. It seems to be a combination cosmic balance / girl fight fantasy of Hillary vs. Sarah, so of course Joe has to be written out of the comic book.
What Obama & Biden could do as candidates & senators is not suspend the campaign, but reorganize their schedules, do both jobs, do them well, show how energetic & prepared they are compared to the venerable geezer.
