*sigh* Why can’t somebody remind McCain how the Gipper used to handle situations like this? When Congress was tying itself up in knots, Reagan would say what he had to say and then he’d head to his ranch and ride his horse. It calmed the public and reminded them that the real business of the country manages to go just fine without Congress.
That’s my only minor concern with this move, that it might add to the hysteria.
That said, we’re probably beyond the point of that mattering.
McCain is doing the right thing and the country will be better off for it.
