The Oversighter
For this to come out of the mouth of McCain TODAY….
The point is, I was chairman of the commerce committee. Every part of America’s economy, I oversighted. I have a long record, certainly far more extensive of being involved in our economy than Senator Obama does.
I stand amazed.

So, does that mean he's personally taking responsibility for the total cock-up our economy is in at the moment?
Posted by COMTE | September 16, 2008 2:37 PMNo, it was an oversight.
Posted by DaiBando | September 16, 2008 2:39 PMI can't wait for tonight's Countdown, Rachel Maddow, and Daily Show. I hope they tear McCain a new asshole.
Posted by elswinger | September 16, 2008 2:40 PMTechnically, McCain is right. He has a greater lenghth of time dealing with economic issues in the Senate than his rival.
Posted by raindrop | September 16, 2008 2:41 PMI'm mobile right now, so don't have access to a dictionary; can someone tell me if "overighted" is a real word, or Bush "word"?
Posted by Banna | September 16, 2008 2:43 PM@4: It's true! Ask him about the time he "oversighted" the regulators on the Savings and Loan industry back in the eighties.
Posted by flamingbanjo | September 16, 2008 2:45 PMBoy, he picks a hell of a time to brag.

No. "Oversight" is a noun. There is no "oversighted".

Speaking of insincere statements, what's your take on this this?

Appears not just capitalists but Communists can be liars too. Much ado was made of this in 1950. Arguably, divided much of the country.

obama staff - he's handed you the rope. FUCKING HANG HIM WITH IT.
Posted by max solomon | September 16, 2008 3:30 PMThanks for taking credit for the steaming pile of shit that is our economy, John.
Posted by Greg | September 16, 2008 3:54 PM@4 yes he has. He can also argue that he has been an American longer, which I wouldn't be surprised if we hear that sometime.

Posted by max solomon | September 16, 2008 5:13 PMMaybe he meant "overlooked"?
