McCain: Economists tell me, ‘You don’t understand how serious’ the financial crisis is.
In an interview with the Denver Post yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) attempted to explain why he voted for the Wall Street bailout, despite previously saying that a bill that included earmarks would be “unacceptable.” McCain remarked, “I talk to…economists that have said, ‘Look, you don’t understand how serious — ’” before cutting himself off. Seeming to realize that he was once again admitting he doesn’t understand the economy, McCain corrected himself saying, “I mean, ‘We have to understand how serious this is.’” Listen
Does Palin Really Read ‘The Economist’?
Earlier this week, Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) gained widespread attention for her inability to name specifically which newspapers and magazines she regularly reads. “Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years,” she told CBS’s Katie Couric.
Yesterday on MSNBC’s Hardball, Politico’s Mike Allen suggested that Palin should have lied and said that she reads “The Economist.” “Somebody told me, she should have just said ‘The Economist,’” said Allen. “Everybody lies about reading ‘The Economist.’”
Ironically, Palin was given a chance to redeem herself on that same question in an interview with Fox News today. Her response? “The Economist”:
CAMERON: Well, what do you read?
PALIN: I read the same things that other people across the country read, including the “New York Times” and the “Wall Street Journal” and “The Economist” and some of these publications that we’ve recently even been interviewed through up there in Alaska.
