Republicans Winced When McCain was Mentioned

Frank: Republicans "winced" when McCain was mentioned in meeting

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said that "nobody mentioned McCain" during the several-hour-long meeting on the $700 billion market rescue plan, other than Frank. "They winced when I did," said Frank. He went on to compare Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to "Andy Kaufman and his Mighty Mouse: Here I am to save the day."

Frank was equally cool about today's meeting with the White House, saying that it's "just an iterruption in our schedule."

1. Barney Frank has been great at dissing McCain on this

I think he said the interruption would make them troop down to the White House for a photo opp in the middle of real work - ouch!

7. Barney Frank thought of the same thing I did -- Andy Kauffman and his record player

for McSame's arrival in Washington -- Here I am to save the daaaaay !

8. The Andy Kaufman reference is particularly appropriate...

...because he spent most of the time standing there doing nothing.
