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.”

McCain’s Fannie & Freddie “warning” explained

McCainiacs all across the fruited the plain have been jumping up and down the past few days with historical citations of Mr. Straight Talk’s supposedly prescient warning of a few years ago that some things were amiss at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The implication is that we could have avoided the current financial crisis if only everyone had heeded McCain’s so-called warning.

PolitiFact, a joint venture of Congressional Quarterly and the St. Petersburg Times, puts the matter in PERSPECTIVE.
