It's friday, let's revisit the week shall we?
A week ago, John McChicken assured us the fundamentals of the US economy were sound. Six days before the largest bank failure in US history.
On Wednesday, John McChicken announces the 'suspension' of his presidential campaign because the fundamentally sound economy is collapsing.
Also on Wednesday, John McChicken informs us that he can't be bothered with petty concerns like a presidential debate because his presence is urgently needed in Washington to save the fundamentally sound economy from collapsing.
On Thursday, John McChicken injects himself into the negotiations on a bill to save the fundamentally sound economy from collapsing, thereby torpedoing the negotiations.
On Friday, John McChicken says "Nevermind"! and leaves Washington. The negotiations to save the fundamentally sound economy from collapsing continue on without him. Meanwhile, he decides he can find a few minutes in his busy schedule for the presidential debate.
And amidst all this to-ing and fro-ing, the McChicken campaign remains resolutely on message with one thing:
"The bottom line is that as of tonight, there are not enough Republican or Democrat votes for the current plan.
Yes, indeedy...of late John McChicken and his stalwart campaign advisors show less perspicacity than the Three Stooges on a bad day. But damned if they won't manage to remember their silly little insults. One day they just might realize that bad grammar makes them sound stupider than the Three Stooges as well.
