Kenneth and cronies won't even view that video, although it could do them nothing but good to know what happened.

Thx, lorne. McCain appeared yesterday with Geo Stephanopolos and said the latest version of the financial plan meets his insistence of an oversight body to monitor the treasury secretary. It limits the compensation of executives of financial institutions applying for loans. "Let's get this deal done, signed by the president, and get moving, because the real effect of this is going to restore some confidence, and get some credit out there. It will get the economic system moving again, which is basically in gridlock today." McCain said the $700 billion bailout for the hobbled financial markets "is something that all of us will swallow hard and go forward with. The option of doing nothing is simply not an acceptable option." The senator added that he returned to Washington because he was not going to "phone in" his advice. "I'm a Teddy Roosevelt Republican. I've got to get in the arena when America needs it," McCain said. Republicans generally have said his participation helped prod the agreement. Rep Boehner stated the Democrats would have run him over like a freight train if not for Sen McCain's presence at the WH meeting. "Whether I helped or hurt, I'll be glad to accept the judgment of history," McCain said. He plans to return to full-time campaigning today.
