Good Heavens, McCain's Stupid.

When John "Huggy Bear" McCain said he didn't know anything about the economy, he wasn't lying.
We should also convene a meeting of the nation's top mortgage lenders. Working together, they should pledge to provide maximum support and help to their cash-strapped, but credit worthy customers. They should pledge to do everything possible to keep families in their homes and businesses growing. Recall that immediately after September 11, 2001 General Motors stepped in to provide 0 percent financing as part of keeping the economy growing. We need a similar response by the mortgage lenders. They've been asking the government to help them out. I'm now calling upon them to help their customers, and their nation out. It's time to help American families.

McCain's flack denied that the candidate was calling for 0% mortgage rates, but that's not a surprise. We're also to believe, apparently, that McCain doesn't want us in Iraq for a hundred years, too.

Color me incredulous, on both counts.

"In any event," observed Frank James, "it will be worth watching to see if McCain sticks with his zero interest idea or if it eventually goes down the memory hole, not to be heard from again."

Ha ha.
