McCain's suspension of his campaign apparently doesn't apply to his own advisers.

Despite McCain's claim that he's put his campaign on hold, two of them directly attacked Barack Obama in political terms on television this morning.


On Fox about an hour ago, McCain adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer:

" . . . perhaps part of the pattern that we've seen before where Senator Obama would claim that the housing bill came out of his committe--and he didn't even sit on the committee. or that the stimulus package was his package and even his democratic leader said that it wasn't."


On Fox, McCain spokesperson Tucker Bounds . . .

"Certainly, John McCain is eager to debate Barack Obama on these important issues, because he has a record of actually performing on the issues that are going to be debated," Bounds said. "And additionally he's called on Barack Obama time after time to meet him anytime, anywhere, in joint town hall meetings. So the idea that there's a debate about the debates, I just think, is absurd."

1. That would be the part where McCain claimed he had

instructed his people to work with the Obama campaign.

2. Nicole Wallace was a jack-ass on Morning Joe this morning as well.

She's a spokesperson, but she was making shallow little digs.
