Terrorists on Wall Street:Terrorists are everywhere! How else to explain McCain when he
says, regarding the credit crisis:
"We're going to need a '9/11 Commission' to find out what happened and what needs to be fixed."
Maybe the Republicans should have nominated Giuliani instead. He's the most 9/11-ish candidate out there.
Should there be a crisis in other areas, McCain will surely advocate a '9/11 Commission'. Health care costs out of control? That's because there are terrorists in the hospital (or in the billing unit of an insurance company). Let's create a '9/11 Commision' to investigate.
Bottom line: Fear. 9/11. Terrorists. Elect John McCain and he'll bomb Wall Street. That'll solve the problem.

Which means we won't commence the investigation for two and a half years.
