Shorter Cap’n Ed
- Mmmmmmm! Yum, yum, yum! Is there any other shit you’d like me to swallow for you, McCain campaign?
‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™
Hey Ed, update your talking points — McCain now thinks the debate is more important.

McCain now thinks the debate is more important.
This is what happens when the flip-flopping happens too fast – the fever swamp doesn’t have enough time to get the talking points out before the contradictory ones show up.
In computer geek terms, the swamp’s sample rate is too low to accurately represent the underlying talking-point curve, causing unacceptably aliased output.

The financial crisis argument would make more sense if McCain knew a damn thing about the economy. Which he even admits he doesn’t. So nice try.

The keys on the Mighty Wurlitzer are going jam up if McSame keeps flip-flopping like this.

Or maybe they’re oversampling but they’ve got their decimation all wrong.
And maybe this is a lame excuse to use the term ‘decimate’ when talking about the fever swamp.

We have always wanted the debate! It’s a LIBERAL LIE to suggest that McCain was unwilling to debate his opponent!

On Wednesday McCain, in his “I’m going to
DisneylandWashington!” speech, said the debate should be put off “until we have taken action to address this crisis.” Updated talking points will hinge in this.J— said,

Well obviously McPOW is only going to the debates because Senator Commie Obama is forcing him to go.
Wait. That conflicts with the Maverick Tough Guy Democrat Stomping narrative.
McPOW never said he wouldn’t go to the debate. He only said that he wouldn’t go to the debate if there wasn’t a bailout deal in time … Um.
BECAUSE SHUT UP. THAT’S WHY!!

As it happens there is no need to hold the debate as McCain has preemptively won it.

actor212 touchingly inquires:
“What is it with these right wing fuckheads that they end up picking a nym that has NOTH-THING to do with their own reality????”
Having nothing to do with their own, or any, reality, IS their reality. The letters GOP stand for “Party of Make-Believe.”

Now that McCain thinks it’s OK to debate without a deal in place, does this mean it’s OK for Ed. to puke said shit?
How would we tell?

Isn’t the truly amusing thing that Congress basically had a deal worked out until McCain returned to Washington when it went to the crapper?
JiSM3 on Monday : There’s a dire and desperate financial crisis afoot, we must postpone the debate!
JiSM3 on Thursday : Now that I’m here, I have nothing to say – so quit all that negotiating!
JiSM3 today: I’ve saved America! The financial crisis is dealt with – no bipartisan bail-out will go ahead without me being able to take total credit for it! On with the debate!

Spanish speakers have the saying “quien calla, otorga.” A loose translation would be “silence is assent.” Bush calls Big Meeting. Everyone shows up. After reporters leave, Boehner knocks over the table with the House GOP Crazies’ proposal. McCain says nothing.

It’d be very kind to say that McCain’s antics amounted in a big “to condi” but it certainly looks like he was actually counter-productive.
