Sen. McCain Leads the Charge! (Err, Anyone Have Any Ideas?)

Out of such High Principles an opposition is born! Sen. Barney Rubble...err, McCain...is finally ready to tell that Obama feller a thing or two about how to run an economy--that is, if someone would only tell him what those things are:

In an email obtained by the Huffington Post, the Arizona Republican's chief of staff, Marc Buse, asked an outside adviser for help with a "ten principles" program that the senator could use as a "definitive" platform.

"We are looking for some guidance on a definitive plan (aka contract with america style) on the economy...principles," writes Buse. "Ten principles that JSM could point to on what MUST BE DONE to address the problems our nation faces."

Buse doesn't offer specific suggestions of his own, save "NO TAX INCREASES."

Inspiring, ain't it? Take the NO TAX mantra and then ask some outside consultant to put a few frilly things on top of it. Kinda reminds me of that Kohler commercial where a woman takes a faucet to an architect and says "Design a house around THAT!" Oh baby, that's some Deep Thought we can believe in.
