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."

McCain may be a nice guy, but just because we have not had attacks, does not mean there has or has not been widespread corruption in Bush's administration. Perhaps the nterviewer should have used incompetence, pandering to special interests, selling out the american citizen to large conglomeates of corporations, trying to tear down the wall between church and state.... etc etc etc... but corruption may have been a little stiff for old John.

Senator McCain: “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."

Yes, Senator, and maybe he also deserves credit for the willful, criminal negligence that allowed the 9-11 attack.

Yes, my friends but that is in the past, we must ignore the past.

This is why saying "I will vote for McCain instead of _______ (fill in the blank with your un-favorite Democratic candidate)" is *so freaking crazy.* On top of all the other stuff.
