That's some bush league psych out shit!

I can't believe John McCain tried to pull this shit today of trying to get Barack Obama to stop campaigning, because the economy is too fucked the fuck up. He's also trying to talk Obama out of participating in the first presidential debate, this Friday night.

I mean, who ever even heard of a presidential candidate, weeks before the election, suspending his campaign for, like, anything?

It's obvious John McCain could give a rat's ass about going back to Washington to help fix the economy. As if he's even capable of helping matters. Even before his brain began to grow a thin candy shell, he probably wasn't smart enough to have a very good handle on Wall Street. And as this election cycle has proven, he's probably got Alzheimers.

Wouldn't it be fantastic if, during the debate, he forgot what year it was and suddenly flashed back to his days in the Hanoi Hilton. If Charlie Gibson or whomever asked him what's the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite, and his response was, "Fuck off, gook!"

No but really, it's obvious what's going here. John McCain realizes he's not gonna do any good on the campaign trail anyway. He can't raise either of his arms up over his head, he has no idea what the fuck he's talking about, and he can't get more than a few old people to show up to his events. If the two of them were to appear in a debate together, it would be like Kennedy and Nixon back in 1960s.

The real question is: Is John McCain really that desperate? I don't think you pull some shit like this unless you think you're gonna lose otherwise. If Barack Obama doesn't agree to this BS, which supposedly he's not going to, McCain's gonna take a pretty big L on this one, no?
