Strange... 28 Years In Washington Helping Big Business, Now You Are Against It?

If you have been thinking is was odd that a guy who is been in Washington singing for big business and deregulation for 28 years is now suddenly against "Fat Cats"... you are not alone.

The media is finally catching up to John McCain flips and flops; lies and distortions.

And we are NOT talking Keith Olbermann here... this is the AP (pretty unbiased). Here are some quotes from a story out today:

“John McCain embraces and expels Washington like an accordion player belting out a song. Squeeze in and he touts his vast knowledge of the capital city. Draw out and he casts himself a reformer bent on changing its ways.”

“This time around, though, McCain is projecting a dual image: the outside insider. A 25-year veteran of the House and Senate, a white man like all the rest of the country’s presidents to date, McCain is trying to fend off a 44-year-old, first-term senator angling to become the first black to reach the Oval Office.”

“Squeeze in, and he’s the new capital tour guide for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. ‘I can’t wait to introduce her to Washington, D.C. I can’t wait,’ he said to cheers Monday in Jacksonville. Draw out, and he’s never set foot in the city himself. ‘The word’s going out, my friends: The old-boy network, the pork-barrelers, the earmarkers, my friends, the word is, ‘Change is coming,’ McCain said. ‘There’s two mavericks coming to Washington, and we’re going to shake it up.’”

“Squeeze in, and he’s got the Washington skill set needed to right the country’s Wall Street woes….Draw out, and he distances himself from the administration of the Republican president who has endorsed him.”

One last thought... who the heck calls Wall Street business people "fat cats". I feel like I am watching one of those really old cartoons you can get for a $1 on DVD. I mean, "fat cats"??? What century is this? Maybe McCain has one of those 1920's ticker tape machines in his office too.
