McCain economic advisor: "Gas prices unrelated to Iraq war"
McCain economic advisor Carly Fiorina attempted to dispel those concerns in an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Fiorina, who served as CEO of Hewlett-Packard until her dismissal in 2005 over issues relating to the direction of the company, has been suggested as a possible McCain running mate. However, she may not have done her candidate any favor when she stated that skyrocketing gas prices "have nothing to do with the Iraq war."

"John McCain impressed me as somebody who understood how the economy worked," Fiorina began, speaking of her first meeting with McCain in 2000. "I think that comment , which was made one time and blown totally out of proportion, is frankly more a reflection of John McCain's innate humility than anything else."

1. McCain: unconnected to reality.

2. Are the American people tired of the bull shit yet
I would think that the last 8 years of bullshit from bu$h would be enough and his advisor's would tell him that he has to tell the damn truth.

Straight talk? Straight to hell.
