Ruh Roh. All Arguments Are Declared Null And Void. Geithner Must Go...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/20/mccain-defends-geithner-g_n_177569.html
An unlikely figure has come to the defense of embattled Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner: Sen. John McCain.

Geithner "should be given a chance to succeed," McCain said on Friday, according to the Financial Times, which notes that the former presidential candidate was one of the few Republican senators to support Geithner's nomination, and likely the first to "speak up in Mr Geithner's defence amid growing calls for his resignation."



When Old Man McDumbshit says you should do something, naturally doing THE EXACT OPPOSITE is necessary.

2. Unless he is counting on that....and really saying the reverse from what he believes!
Hell, the Republicans are already calling for Geithner's head.
Might as well the figure out a way to get more Democrats on board to do the same.
What better way than to have McCain support Geithner is there?

8. Then again, he did pick just the right person for VP...
(the sad point being, maybe McDemented may not be as demented by playing this new type of game... a double double cross?)

6. yeah. I read this the other day on Politico
And of course, the Politico hacks' headline was something like "Maverick says: Give Tim a Chance". Maverick my ass, he never helps when it actually counts. I'm sure he'll be on one of the Sunday shows like he seems to be every week, tsk tsk-ing Obama for something.
