House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-MA), who is one of the chief negotiators of the bailout proposal, derided McCain’s “late entry into the negotiations“:

“McCain is Andy Kaufman in his Mighty Mouse costume - ‘Here I Come to Save the Day,’” Frank said as he left a Thursday morning caucus meeting with House Democrats, saying the Republican presidential candidate’s decision to enter the mix “is not helpful.”

“He hasn’t been involved,” Frank said. “He doesn’t know anything about it.”

4. That's funny but I don't recall Andy Kaufman actually wearing a MM costume.

He just stood on stage in his regular clothes waiting to lip sync to "Here I come to save the day" as the Mighty Mouse theme song played on a record player next to him.
