I just found this part of a transcript of McCain on a radio talk show this morning. Apparently he was appauled about the pork barrel spending that is in the bail out bill. Odd to be so upset about it, and then vote for it. I didn't hear him name any names or make any one famous. Unbelieveable...
Update 6: Some actual language from Morning Joe, per Think Progress(they have video too!):
SCARBOROUGH: Why did these items have to be in this critical bill?
MCCAIN: Well that's just the way the system is working in Washington and the reason why it's got to be fixed, and it's got to be changed. And no matter what the stakes are, you've got to stop this by starting to veto bills that come across the president's desk. ... It's insanity and it's obscenity, because it's a waste of taxpayers' dollars and it goes on, and until we stop it, until we get frankly a president who will say, I'm gonna veto these bills, I'm gonna make the people famous that put them on there, uh, famous.
YES McCAIN... you are NOT the president so you don't get to veto it... but you could have voted NO. That would have made a statement that you at least intend to live up to this one huge promise you've made on your campaign stops. Oh... that's right you can't this one time, because if you do, it takes away your other argument that you saved the day on this whole econimic crisis.
Can anyone really take this man on his word that he's CHANGE.Oh yeah... and by the way... McCain also said this bill is putting us on the road to economic disaster. He still voted YES.
