Wow. McCain wants to postpone Friday's debate and for Obama to, like he claims to have, suspend his campaign until Congress has hashed out a bailout plan. Is that fucking hilarious or nightmarishly depressing or depressingly nightmarish? I wouldn't bet my feeble bank account on it, but I'd like to thinks there's just a little chance that Obama's people will react in a way reminiscent of General McAuliffe's reply to a demand for surrender when he was surrounded on all sides by the Germans at Bastogne, "Nuts," the Obama campaign will simply release a statement consisting of Kingsley Amis' favorite phrase in the Englis language--
"Fuck off."
And if McCain's so devoted to this gimmick then Obama can say, fine, I'll show up Friday and talk for an hour and a half while you have some skin cancer removed or whatever he'll be up to, 'cause it sure won't be solving the nation's financial crisis. There's at least a thousand people in America, inside and outside of government, who are more qualified than he is to do that.
Ordinarily I'm too snobbish to make literary references to a middle-brow though enjoyable work such as the Harry Potter series, but do you think that the real John McCain is actually chained up in a chest somewhere and Trent Lott or Dick Cheney or somebody is drinking polyjuice potion to campaign in McCain's place?
