McCain and the platform. Not that anyone pays attention to party platforms, least of all McCain, but a reader spots this rather unambiguous section of the platform just passed by the GOP:
We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself.
[Politico]
Of course it’s not just McCain, but pretty much all Republicans (and Democrats, for that matter) who are pushing the bailout. The hypocrisy might be more funny if they weren’t on track to destroy what’s left of the economy, though.
