John McCain, the man who admitted he knew little about economic matters, shortly after assuring us that "the fundamentals of the economy are strong" and then "clarifying" his statement with "I meant the American worker", claimed the economy is in such crisis that he had to suspend his campaign, skip out on tonight's Presidential debate and dash to the White House to save America.
So saying, he bailed on Letterman and, pausing only to appear with Katie Couric and give a speech in New York, he caught a night's sleep in the Big Apple and, after a no doubt hasty breakfast, rushed his self-deprecated economic "expertise" to the White House where he spent a couple of hours saying nary a word (!) and looking like a deer at a headlight manufacturers' convention.
With the way things went yesterday, it's hard to imagine how his absence could have made things worse. Considering that his contribution consisted of sitting silent, it's not totally clear to me that he couldn't have just gone on digging his hole deeper on the campaign trail.
On second thoughts, perhaps he did that anyway.
