Boomlet (Mark Steyn: When Economy's In The Headlines, Send McCain On Vacation Alert)
National Review ^ | 9/24/2008 | Mark Steyn

I dunno about a nine-point lead, Kathryn, but clearly the Obama campaign self-destruct effort managed to stall during Bailout Week.

As a general rule, when economic matters are in the news, I would recommend Senator McCain go to Bermuda for a few days and play canasta on the veranda until everything quietens down. Obama and Biden are just as witless on the subject but at least their platitudes and class warfare don't actively depress their base - unlike McCain's nutty improvisations re Andrew Cuomo*. If only we could get back to the heady days when the Democrat-media axis was demanding Sarah Palin's obstetrician produce the birth video.

(*By the way, this is what I loathe about long-serving senators: Politics is all Rolodex.)

Mark Steyn is right. Obama was busy destroying himself and McCain had to screw it up. I'm recommending going one step further: let's slap duct tape on McCain's mouth when the economy appears in the news and send him down to the funny farm. That way he can do the least amount of damage. And get Sarah to appear on Rush Limbaugh!

McCain should go to Washington and rally against this bail out.

What is hillarious is that Dims think the community organizer is going to fix the economy.
