The Funniest And Scariest Line of the Day

Sen. John McCain is putting together a major economic plan that will be structured, in some ways, off of Newt Gingrich's famous Contract With America.

The senator's "major economic plan" reportedly includes:

3. Pretend everything is awesome.

And...

6. Stop whatever you're doing, fly to Washington to solve the crisis and then do absolutely nothing. Resume what you were doing before.

Perhaps he'll suspend being a senator until, oh I don't know...forever?

I won't believe it until Meghan blogs about it.

Can someone stir some Genko-Biloba into his Ovaltine? Maybe he needs a friendly reminder that this is no longer The Campaign, he lost, and the American Peoples have decided he's Utter Crap at The Economics. Jesus The Christ™, Johnny McTooLittleTooLate!

Elvis,

Right on! This is problem with the GOP. They really really really lost this year and in 2006 but it hasn't hit them yet. They are outraged because they are not being taking seriously with their NEW(1980) economic ideas.

*GFI*

This just hit me like a truck. Johnny McCain is going to get his signature on the market recovery. The GOP need their footprint on the market if it truly upticks. They want to take the thunder away from President Obama and John is just senile enough to play their game.

hey,wouldnt this be a good time for mccain to give president obama the details of that awesome plan to capture bin laden he kept telling us about.
and by the way...i dont even know why anyone is bothering to grade the president on his handling of the economy.nowadays,when you ask a conservative about the job george bush did,he says "bush did a great job.he kept us safe for eight years(even though he didnt).thats all i care about".
so we all should assume that as long as there is only one historical and catastrophic attack on our country which kills thousands during president obama's presidency,we can consider him a successful president.

9. All government communication will be handled through Twitter.

To quote Jon Stewart...
"They're how I like my coffee...white and bitter."
he was talking about Morning Joe but I think it captures the majority of the Republican Party

This must be why he was seen sitting in on an Economics 101 class down at Arizona State.

By the way, all I remember about the CWA was that it was complete and total bullshit. So I went back and looked at the Wiki (which also told me last week that Obama is not a citizen, so you know it's info is rock solid), and reading through the Contract With America confirmed that it was, indeed, complete and total bullshit. It was the usual Republican attack on the American people, blaming them for their own ills and attempting to remove any relief.

Good luck with that, Senator McCain. Let me know if you need a hand. I'll be happy to help expose you as the uncaring asshole that you are.

We have a Democrat in the White House. Of course we need a new Contract On America: Lamer, Louder, and Uncut.

They won't be happy until they've finished eradicating the middle class. They are black and white thinkers so their life is simplified if there is only Rich and Poor.

News flash to John McCain: YOU LOST, YOUR IDEAS LOST, YOUR PARTY LOST, Let me repeat - YOU LOST!!!

Posted by: exoevolution at March 11, 2009 12:55 PM

I honestly don't mind this at all. He's more than welcome to come up with an idea better than SPENDING FREEZE! or WE"RE REJECTING THE STIMULUS THAT'S ALREADY PASSED!. Of course that doesn't mean his plan will be any good...

And...

6. Stop whatever you're doing, fly to Washington to solve the crisis by recommending more corporate tax cuts.
