DRAMA QUEEN POLITICS

Apart from President Bush's "scare-mongering-to-sell-my-bailout" speech last night, there's another issue voters need to keep in mind.

Since the credit/financial market problems emerged on the political scene we have watched John McCain have his own meltdown. He has done the following:

1. Claimed "market fundamentals" are sound ... and then unilaterally changed what "fundamentals" mean.

2. Claimed he was against a bailout for AIG ... before he was for it.

3. Suggested he would fire SEC Chair Christopher Cox ... who is only remotely connected to this mess, and can't be fired by the president.

4. Suspended his very serious presidential campaign because things are, well, so serious ... in the process proving he can't multi-task.

5. Called for postponing the first presidential debate ... because his polling numbers are tanking.

Keep in mind that all of this occurred after McCain panicked and picked Caribou Barbie as his VP running mate. For added measure, after calling for a bailout McCain has said he might not vote for the bailout proposal (but he did say this in a decisive manner, mind you).

Let's not mince words: Temperament counts as much as judgment. McCain has neither.

John McCain is an unstable Drama Queen, and unfit to lead.

Just goes to show you some people will hire a housekeeper who doesn't do laundry. When McCain asked Palin to be his vice-presidential running mate, I wonder if she told him she didn't do foreign policy.
