McCain Suggests He Won't Investigate Bush Corruption

Despite rhetoric about tackling corruption in Washington, John McCain does not appear too eager to look into the current administration. When asked today about supporting independent investigations into the Bush administration, McCain replied:

"I do not agree with your sentiment that there has been widespread corruption. I just don't accept that. And by the way my friends do you think it would be nice if the President of the United States got a little bit of credit for the fact that there has not been another attack on the United States of America since 9-11? I think he deserves some credit for that. I really do."

Widespread corruption? Uh My friends, lets give credit for no attacks since 9/11!

"So what does your husbands sister look like?" "Well uh, she's really a good dancer."
"Yeah but what does she look like?" "Well she has a really nice personality."

[mrdontplay]

"John McCain does not appear too eager to look into the current administration."

Ho-hum, just another Democrat in wolf's clothing.

LOL LOL LOL, McCain is a just a democrat in wolf's clothing? LOL!

The largest bank in the U.S. is going under. Bush has presided over the financial ruin of the United States. The dollar is sinking in value. Who wants it internationally. Millions of people are loosing their homes due to the corruption in the sub prime fiasco presided over by republicans. 8 years Papi, 8 years of Bush and this financial disaster.

This genius in office then goes to war against the wrong country, because he does not know one from the other but what he does know is that the wrong one has oil! Oil? Did you say Oil? Yep, Mr. President, Oil? Well dang it, send in the troops. I know ole Bin Laden is hiding under those oil fields.

Cost of the war? Some estimates are 3 Trillion! $3 Trillion! They could probably win the war if it was not for the stealing by our own countrymen, politicians, corporations, military men.

Sad state of affairs

Bill Clinton enacted Banking Deregulation in his term... Hmmm, maybe these things are related...

[zigzag1]

Where is Vicki Iseman? Where is the press on this story? If her name were only Monica.

[dwillisno1]

Find Jimmy Hoffa and you will find Vicki.

[zendem1]

Vicki Iseman is more than likely somewhere living in an apartment owned by the RNC. Her cell-phone records, tax returns, and computer hard drives over the past 10 years are now squeaky clean.

Hillary will give Bu$h a pass on the the wronging also. make *NO* mistake abut that!

[imusintheevening]

And just what have the Democrats done to investigate Bush Corruption??????????????????????????????????

[TNFarmer]

Absolutely NOTHING. Which is the same thing they've accomplished in getting us the heck out of Iraq, since voters handed them the majority in both Houses. Somehow, wasting time piddling around with Roger Clemens and a few other over-paid jocks possibly doing drugs is more important than actually conducting business important to the voters of this Nation - like finding out where hundreds of $millions$ of dollars and thousands of guns went missing in Iraq, for starters.

[drumz]

How quickly the trolls forget: Libby and Abramoff to name two real quick

[imusintheevening]

I said Bush not some corrupt lobbyist or Cheney's Gril Friday. I am not a troll - just a pissed off American.

[zadzi]

Actually, I think our chances of being attacked in this country have been raised since Mr. Asshat's reactions to 9/11.

[Knowbetter]

You would be correct, except that under cover of "Shock and Awe" Bush withdrew all American troops from Saudi Arabia just as Bin Laden demanded.

[Davwbaird]

correct, he had made promises to his trainers in der kingdom, oh my where can we build new bases and reward our friends, yes iraq, so perfect, now cook the books.

[Eyeful]

My friends, this is an oxymoronic headline if I've ever heard one. Please, HuffPo, tell us something we don't already know.

[gcallaghan]

give McCain the benefit of the doubt. He was obviously having a Reagan moment and had no clue what the question was about.

[desertdweller]

Funny, we didn't have much in the way of attacks, that is, UNTIL, Bush was in office, so go figure?

[nunzia]

duh.

[desertdweller]

and possibly ruin his (McCain's) future as a lobbyist? No way!

[iPolitics]

Shocking! Not that the Dems will

[unclebucky]

McBush.

What else is there to say?

Oh yeah.

McCain/Bush '07 (Jebbie) The GOP Thumbsuckers

vs.

Obama '08 The patriotic Democratic Party
Huckabee/Parsley '06 American Christian Homeland Party
Paul/Ron '05 Libertarian Party

Ugh.
