On MSNBC (Martin Bashir)...Jonathan Alter

just reminded everyone, in relation to the Mittens/Middle East debacle...

How John McCain, "suspended", his 2008 Presidential campaign, to solve the economic crisis...which, he didn't have a plan
for and didn't do anything.

Remember that BREATHLESS announcement?!?

"The sound of jaws hitting the floor reverberated in Washington this afternoon when Republican presidential nominee John McCain announced that he would suspend his campaign and asked that Friday's debate be postponed. Why? Because of the "historic crisis in our financial system," said McCain, who intends to return to Washington tomorrow to participate in Wall Street bailout negotiations on the Hill."
