Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.”

This one’s an all-time classic

The occasion was a Republican presidential debate this past January.

John McCain was asked about his qualifications to handle the nation’s economy.

His answer touched upon Iraq, patriotism, Ronald Reagan, Islamic extremism, his experience as a prisoner of war and several other irrelevant topics. But he uttered not one word about the economy.

Check it out (Hat/Tip to the Jed Report for the video clip):

    Ha Ha, good one. I remember McCain’s awful performance in that debate. Lots of politicians do this and few are called to answer the damn question. When McCain claimed superior leadership to handle the economy because he lead a squadron you had to scratch your head and wonder.
