So, does that mean he's personally taking responsibility for the total cock-up our economy is in at the moment?

No, it was an oversight.

I can't wait for tonight's Countdown, Rachel Maddow, and Daily Show. I hope they tear McCain a new asshole.

Technically, McCain is right. He has a greater lenghth of time dealing with economic issues in the Senate than his rival.

I'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"?

@4: It's true! Ask him about the time he "oversighted" the regulators on the Savings and Loan industry back in the eighties.

@5,

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

Charles,
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.

Thanks for taking credit for the steaming pile of shit that is our economy, John.

@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.
