McCain Loses His Head


Under the pressure of the financial crisis, one presidential candidate is behaving like a flustered rookie playing in a league too high. It is not Barack Obama.

Channeling his inner Queen of Hearts, John McCain furiously, and apparently without even looking around at facts, said Chris Cox, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, should be decapitated. This childish reflex provoked the Wall Street Journal to editorialize that "McCain untethered" -- disconnected from knowledge and principle -- had made a "false and deeply unfair" attack on Cox that was "unpresidential" and demonstrated that McCain "doesn't understand what's happening on Wall Street any better than Barack Obama does."

1. So McCain is saying a US Citizen should be de-capitated?
Shame on you McStupid!!! What a horribly violent old man. McCain is a worthless piece of crap.

I say put McCain in the stocks and we can throw tomatoes.....AND WHATEVER ELSE WE WANT AT HIM
