McTasking

Senator McCain has already told us that neither the Economy nor Technology is his strong suit. Foreign policy and matters of defense/security are and it seems his modus operandi is "Ready, Fire, Aim".

From the events that unfolded this week, it became obvious that he can't multi-task either. I'd give him the benefit of doubt: Given his age, I'm not surprised that he cannot walk and chew gum at the same time.

He had to suspend his campaign and call for postponement of the presidential debates because he wanted to go to Washington to rope in errant collegues who were still seeing the economic picture through his eyes as he had been until recently, when he started to run for the presidency.

Especially when he was the Chairman of the powerful Commerce Committe, but throughout his 26-year career as a pol in D.C., he has been a proponent of deregulation and a believer of the Reagan mantra: "Government is not the solution; government is the problem".

Citizen McCain comes to Washington to tell his fellow congresspersons that being a maverick isn't good enough to be a successful politico any more; we are a nation of small towns where people are bitter and whine.
