Finally A Little Honesty From The McCain Campaign... But Just A Little

It's been a long time! But this morning McCain's top economic advisor-- or at least the only one that still allowed out in public-- admitted that neither Sarah Palin nor John McCain has what it takes to run a big company. Of course she's correct, although she doesn't think that it matters. All that matters to Fiorina is that they're Republican and that they will give her a job if they get elected. Watch her:



An Obama spokesperson was surprised-- not by the assessment, but by the honesty. "If John McCain’s top economic advisor doesn’t think he can run a corporation, how on Earth can he run the largest economy in the world in the midst of a financial crisis? Apparently even the people who run his campaign agree that the economy is an issue John McCain doesn’t understand as well as he should.”

Fiorina agrees that neither of the hapless, clueless Republican candidates could run Hewlett Packard, which she herself nearly ran into the ground before being fired and sent packing with tens of millions of dollars in the kind of golden parachute deal that, in a cynical bid to capitalize on the Wall Street meltdown, McCain and Palin claim they oppose. Perhaps that's why Fiorina condescendingly admitted both would be over their heads in the business world.

Unlike Fiorina, basically a failed bureaucrat with no real accomplishments other than having managed to claw her way to the top of a completely dysfunctional corporate ladder, McCain, at least invented the Blackberry. He did? I don't think so. Some Canadian did. But McCain was part of the team. He was? I don't think so but... well, according to Gawker "by being a stalwart slave to the telecommunications lobby, McCain allowed them to write their own regulatory policy and therefore create the BlackBerry, a shitty piece of limited and overpriced technology light-years behind what's available in Western Europe and Asia." Ouch! Well he did invent the savings and loan scandal and he was on the team that invented Social Security privatization, right? Or was he just a rubber stamp on that too? There's no getting a straight answer out of him on that one!

So what did McCain actually invent? A lie that he's in good health. This sonofabitch actually is going to try to stick America with Sarah Palin!

Some skin cancers are not that bad, but malignant melanoma-- the kind McCain has had in two separate places-- is not one of those. It's bad. Real bad. And unlike most cancers, it doesn't really go away, even after years in remission.

What kind of judgment? What kind of cynicism? What kind of patriotism? How about mental health?
