Report From the Tunnel:

My pal Mike reports this afternoon that there were major fireworks at the McCaim camp... Mike says that McCain and the head of his campaign, Rick Davis, got into a big blow-out re: Davis' lobbying work. Mike tells me that McCain is ready to fire Davis but wants someone in Davis's job first. Mike says that McCain may ask for a "campaign timeout" using whatever excuse he thinks will work in order to get time to replace Davis.

More later.

"McCain blinked... bigtime!!!":

I just watched the most weasely thing I ever saw in a presidential candidate. John McCain wants to squirm out of debating Obama. Everyone knows that that McCain is also deathly afraid of Sarah Palin looking like the incompetent she is when she debates Joe Biden. That is the debate McCain really wants to get out of.

"Cowardice in high places":

There is word coming over the wire saying John McCain wants to "postpone" Friday's debate with Barack Obama.

Just like the coward Bush went AWOL to avoid serving in Vietnam... and just as McCain went coward by publicly reciting anti-American in Vietnam, the cowardly McCain now wants to gut out of meeting Obama face to face.

We don't need another coward in the WH.

1. McCain is Doing the Funky Chicken

[warren pease]

2. He wants to be at his post to serve the people by solving our brand new economic crisis...

...that nobody could possibly have imagined would have happened in what he's described as a

Reminds me of one of Condi's more transparent lies, updated for today's brand new dire crisis that MUST BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY BY GIVING MASSIVE SUMS OF MONEY TO THIEVES AND PIRATES WHO ALREADY HAVE MASSIVE SUMS OF MONEY... OR THE TERRORISTS WIN!!!111

Paraphrasing Condi: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take these shady financial schemes and slam them into the solar plexus of the American economy, take another scam like currency speculation and slam it into the hedge fund managers' Park Avenue penthouses; that they would try to use the GOP's systematic removal of rules, regulations and oversight as a missile, a hijacked economy as a missile."

Of course not, Condi. Not that they'd let you in on the scam anyway. It's MIHOP II. First they destroyed the central nervous systems of a bunch of posers and yahoos who turned out to be pissy little candy asses who soil themselves every time a car backfires in the street.

Then they destroyed the social contract by gutting the US economy until there was no more money for anything except bribes, wars and the necessary weaponry, and grease for the gears and machinery that work all day, every day, to transfer whatever wealth remains among the peasants ever upward into the pockets of the massuh class -- who would be the first to tell you that they deserve every penny because they contribute so much to the overall betterment of all segments of American society.

This would be right after their last sniveling words fall to the ground unheard, their last cigarette is extinguished and just before the blindfold is tied around their heads.

But regarding this debate cancellation on the pretext that he needs to be in his senate seat doing the peoples' business as this drama unfolds. Why in hell would you want him dealing with a subject he claims to have little knowledge of:

From FactCheck courtesy of ontheissues.org:

Said--then denied--he needed economics education:

At the January 24, 2008 GOP debate, moderator Tim Russert claimed that McCain had repeatedly said, "I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated." McCain responded, "Actually, I don't know where you got that quote from. I'm very well-versed in economics."

(A lie, of course, as is his usual MO.)

Russert's quote comes from a 2005 interview with the Wall Street Journal on Nov. 26, 2005: "I'm going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated."

We could not find that McCain has said that quote "repeatedly," but he has made similar comments recently The Chicago Tribune quoted McCain talking to reporters on Dec. 18, 2007: "The issue of economics is something that I've really never understood as well as I should. I understand the basics, the fundamentals, the vision, all that kind of stuff."

Yup... "...the vision, all that kind of stuff." Channeling G.H.W. Bush?

Go get 'em, Big John. Sounds like, once again, you're the right guy for the job.
