BooHoo! "Life's not fair," says McCain. BooHoo!
Asked this morning on Fox & Friends why polls had shown Obama benefiting from the financial crisis, McCain had a candid response: "Because life isn’t fair."
McCain did expound a bit beyond the JFK-like shrug, contrasting his actions with Obama.

"He certainly did nothing for the first few days," McCain argued about his rival's response to the crisis. "I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington, met with the House folks and got on the phone, and also had face to face meetings.”

McCain also went further than he had yesterday in responding to a question about Gwen Ifill serving as the moderator of tonight's veep debate, saying he preferred somebody else. "Frankly, I wish they had picked a moderator that isn’t writing a book favorable to Barack Obama," McCain said of Ifill, who is examining the rise of the Illinois Democrat and other post-civil rights Let’s face it. But I have to have to have confidence that Gwen Ifill will handle this as the professional journalist that she is.”

“Life isn’t fair, as I mentioned earlier in the program.”

Now he's complaining about Ifill? That man's head is going to spin off if he doesn't stop changing his mind so much.

I feel soooooooo sorry for him!:nopity:

1. HE's LYING!
He didn't take their ads down...I SAW one on Friday morning last week on cable news. He also lied because he said he wouldn't be at the debate last week unless there was a deal. He showed up didn't he?

He's a liar.

2. "They" picked a moderator? -- his own campaign had to sign off on it!
It's not like she was forced on them.

McCain is getting more and more pathetic with his excuses and lies every day.

3. There I was, drilling holes on the bottom of the boat,
trying to let the water out faster.

And where was Obama? swimming under the boat with a handful of plugs.

The man is no help at all...

6. "Life isn't fair" == "I was a POW, and should be rewarded with the Presidency"
I have no doubt that this thought doesn't cross his erratic mind regularly.

7. Liar!
He did not suspend his campaign, nor did he pull ads. If his lips are moving, he's lying.

And John, how does it feel having Brokaw's lips affixed to your ass? Do you think that will be helpful during your next debate?

8. Life wasn't so fair to Carol either.
Or Cindy's (non-existent) siblings.
