Rick Davis Says Weirdly Idiotic Thing, Take 894

When asked on a conference call why John McCain hasn't addressed the 22% drop in the stock market this week, moron campaign manager Rick Davis responded, "There’s very little a candidate for president can say and very little the president can say about what’s happening in the stock markets except hope that they correct themselves." We'll grant him that indeed, there is very little a politician or elected leader can do to fix a collapsing world/entire theory of economics. But... "hope that they correct themselves," WHAAA? Does he realize that the seven most powerful world leaders are meeting this weekend to coordinate a GLOBAL MONEY RESPONSE to our current LOSS OF ALL GLOBAL MONEY? Whatever! Barack Obama is a terrorist, Davis suggests, so everyone just go buy an iPod and some dildos and quitcher bitchin. [ Ben Smith ]
