Emergency!

A bunch of Wall Street fat cats need help! John McCain feels their pain, and he wants to be there for them. So he's putting aside his own campaign to rush to Washington to make sure they get taken care of. He's bringing his own coterie of lobbyists campaign staffers to help out, too.

But, sadly, that means that as much as he wants to debate Barack Obama this Friday, he just can't until a deal is reached. So, he wants to postpone Friday's debate.

Hey, you know what, there's this other debate scheduled for next Thursday; he thinks he can make that date. Nobody really cared about a silly Vice Presidential debate, anyway.

What a joke. I was even thinking of lifting my long-standing rule of refusing to watch debates, just because I thought there was some probability that McCain would just totally melt down. Who knew it would happen before we even got to the debate?
