What McCain Knew, When He Knew It
David Letterman asked John McCain about his Blagojevich contacts last night. McCain seemed amused.
DL: Now after a campaign like this -- and it consumed two years, probably more, really -- what do you do? What has your life been like since? I mean, you go from going a thousand miles an hour to a much slower pace.
JM: I don't want to talk about the bleeping campaign. Understand? If you think I'm going to go back to that bleeping situation, then bleep you.
DL: OK. Whoa. Do you know this guy, the governor of Illinois?
JM: He came to my office one time after he was elected governor, at his request. And told me he was going to be a great reformer.
DL: Really? Is that right?
JM: I'm not making it up. That he wanted to do like I had done in the Senate and have all these reforms. I really must have impressed the guy.
DL: Now, John, in your experience, and this is what everybody is saying –- the guy is either stupid or he's nuts. What do you think?
JM: I think a rare combination of both.

Just because Scherer said it doesn't mean he isn't right. I think "Blago" had to be stupid and nuts to be shaking down children's hospitals while claiming to be a reformer. And talking about it on the phone! What a moron!

Patton –
No argument there. They're both right. I was just surprised MS felt he had to note his concurrence with the opinions of his personal saint.

I read this quote from McCain:
."He came to my office one time after he was elected governor, at his request. And told me he was going to be a great reformer."
.
"I'm not making it up. That he wanted to do like I had done in the Senate and have all these reforms. I really must have impressed the guy."And I thought he was talking about Palin and had simply become confused about gender...
."She came to my office one time after she was elected governor, at her request. And told me she was going to be a great reformer."
.
"I'm not making it up. That she wanted to do like I had done in the Senate and have all these reforms. I really must have impressed the gal." -
