PAWLEYS ISLAND, South Carolina (AP) – Republican John McCain said Thursday that as president he would appoint Alan Greenspan to lead a review of the nation's tax code — even if the former Federal Reserve chairman was dead.

"If he's alive or dead it doesn't matter. If he's dead, just prop him up and put some dark glasses on him like, like 'Weekend at Bernie's,"' McCain joked. "Let's get the best minds in America together and fix this tax code."

That's a real knee-slapper John. I'm sure the 81 year old Greenspan appreciates being referred to in those terms.

2. Greenspan's antiquated for sure, but at least he outlived McCain.
