McCain emphasizes gas-tax holiday again; Pass the popcorn please..


Crooks and Liars:

Honestly, it’s like deja vu all over again.

Right at the top of his remarks before taking questions from the Nashville crowd — where regular unleaded goes for about $3.85 — McCain said he wanted to discuss “what’s on everybody’s mind, the price of oil.”

McCain said he was struck by the loud opposition by “the elites in this country.”

“The hysterical reaction was a little bit funny,” he said. In Washington, McCain noted, “the wealthiest people live in Georgetown” and can walk downtown to work. By contrast, he said, the lowest-income workers live the furthest away.
McCain explained that Barack Obama had called the plan “a gimmick”

“Well, I’d like to have some more quote gimmicks to give low-income Americans some relief,” he jabbed back.
