CALL ME SNAKE

Just to set the record straight: John McCain is not a chicken. (Nor is he a pig with lipstick.) It’s just that there are more important things facing the nation right now than debates. There’s the financial problem for one thing, and McCain claims to be dropping everything–including his campaign–to fix it. (Or is he trying to fix his campaign?) The thing is, McCain is one of the people who helped create the financial mess we’re now in. So the job he’s now assumed is clear: He wants to take this huge problem, that is partly of his own making, and make it worse.
