I just got done telling you the details, moron !
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/09/22/mccain-plays-dumb-while-meredith-viera-nails-him-on-golden-parachute-hypocrisy/

Viera: You have said, bottom line, it’s those fat cats. It’s the greed of Wall Street. You promised to crack down on CEOs who walked away with huge severance packages. And yet the person who up until recently was your public face on your economic policy was Carly Fiorina. She’s the former CEO of Hewlett Packard, she was fired in 2005, but she left with a $45 million dollar golden parachute while 20,000 of her employees were laid off. She is an example of exactly the kind of person you say is at the root of the problem. How can you say that?

McCain: I don’t think so. … Because I think she did a good job as CEO in many respects. I don’t know the details of her compensation package. But she’s one of many advisers that I have.

Viera: But she did get a $45 million dollar golden parachute after being fired while 20,000 of her employees were laid off.

McCain: I have many of the people, but I do not know the details of what happened

1. So, he does not vet his advisers any better than he vets his VP pick.

2. Every word, every action this guy chooses screams, "more of the same."
What *does* he know?

3. This man makes no sense...he has dementia. When are
people going to recognize those symptoms. He is asked a question and he gives an answer that is totally irrelevant. My older sister who has dementia did exactly that in the early stages. Now she hardly gives any answers other than "I don't know." It's a sad disease...one that I think could be cured if only the idiots would allow stem cell research.

5. McCain is using media he thinks will go easy on him, and they are scouring him..
The View and Today Show are the interviews he will take.. he thinks they will be easy on him and prop him up.. He can't believe they are calling him on his bull shit and actually showing some journalistic qualities... rather than carrying water for him.

6. Well, he must have had a good day at Rachael Ray's
since I haven't heard anything from that show yet...like a stolen recipe or something...
