Hate to link to Faux News, but here it is. Better than linking to Drudge’s pal Breitbart, which is the only other link I can find at the moment. From the story:
John McCain announced that he will suspend his presidential campaign on Thursday to return to Washington to help with bailout negotiations. He urged his opponent Barack Obama to do the same.
The Arizona senator also asked the Presidential Debate Commission to postpone Friday’s scheduled debate with Obama so that he can work on the financial crisis bailout plan now on Capitol Hill.
Just w.o.w.

Anyone else think this just reeks of desperation? Don’t know about you, but the last thing I want in a President is PANIC.
Bizarre. Just bizarre.
Perhaps they have figured out that the tough questions just don’t get asked in DC.. so that is the freaking best place to hide out with your lying lobbyist blood sucking sack if shit buddies/campaign managers.
So does this mean that dumbass Sarah will now answer questions on the campaign trail in McCains absence? Um yeah I thought not.
Oh and snark of the day..
McPalin wore earrings in the shape of the state of Alaska to her meetings yesterday to meet world leaders.. good god can no one help us not look completely stupid before the world. Like THEY don’t know where Alaska is.. heck Putin can see it..
What kind of shoes did she have on?
I am almost as shocked by the news that John McCain would behave erratically as I am by the news that Clay Aiken is gay.
PS also wants to postpone the debate.
PANIC PANIC run away
assclown
Hah! Her shoes are hidden in the photos I could find! Probably flip flops…
Grift..black patent leather with a round toe. I keep track of this so you don’t have to. Hair was up and secure.
She spent like 49 seconds with the Afghan President they discussed the name of his son ( not making that up by the way)
Black patent leather! That’s serious sunday go to meeting (or head of state) shoes!
Jules, I HEART you!
So probably fake silver Alaska-shaped earrings, secured hair piece, and black patent leather shoes with round toe.
I wonder what Obama will do, especially regarding the debate?
It’s weird to see Republicans crapping their pants so publicly.
Black patent is really sooooo Condi signature look-from Ferragamo no less.
Although poor Condi, apparently the word is out out that she didn’t get asked to be VP do to those pesky lesbian rumors.
At this point Condi would have been a damn godsend over Evita don’t cry for me Wasilla- McPalin
If he goes to DC i hope Obama does the debate on his own. Two hours (or whatever it is) alone with no rebuttal? HOLLA!
I think this may be the right idea, if it avoids us sending a 700 billion dollar blank check to Wall Street.
Congress with its 9% approval rating maybe will decide to actually stand up to the President this time if the onus of attention isn’t elsewhere like the debate.
Ok, I just opened up my e-mail and it was full of all these sports says..
What is “runing out the clock” blitzing the endzone, puntingand ” calling an audible” have to do with this?
Oy please explain to the fashion college grad.
Football analogies for girls and non-football watchers:
Running out the clock = deliberately calling plays that eat up a lot of time on the clock so that your opponent does not get the ball back, and thus the chance to potentially win the game, before time expires.
Calling an audible = the quarterback decides to abandon the previously decided upon play and make up a new play on the fly, which he yells out to the other players
Punting = after failing to move the ball or to score, you give up and decide you might as well just kick it downfield to at least make it harder for the other side to score.
I don’t really know what analogy was meant by blitzing the endzone. Perhaps one of the hardcore football fanatics can dumb that one down a little more.
