Another Bad Day For McCain

Yesterday, John McCain thought he'd be discussing his (bad) economic policy or bashing Obama on yet another bogus foreign policy issue. Instead, as we discussed late in the show, he was defending himself against comments from his odious chief political adviser Charles Black, who was wishing for another terrorist attack on America so it would save the McCain campaign. This sleazy figure has lobbied on behalf of tyrants but McCain won't get rid of him because Black, a long-time GOP strategist, knows the nasty Repulblican playbook too well, and that's the only way John McCain knows he can win.
