George Will: McCain Substitutes 'Vehemence for Coherence' on Economy

clipped from rawstory.com How did McCain look during the financial meltdown on Wall Street this week? Not good, said the pundits on ABC’s This Week, who criticized the Republican presidential candidate’s response to the worst economic crisis in years as inept and confused. "I suppose the McCain campaign's hope is that when there's a big crisis, people will go for age and experience," George Will said. "The question is who in this crisis looked more presidential, calm and unflustered. It wasn't John McCain, who, as usual, substituting vehemence for coherence said let's fire somebody and picked one of the most experienced and conservative people in the administration."

Sam Donaldson went so far as to wonder if there wasn't something wrong with John's head:

Donaldson cited McCain’s past voting record as contradictory to his current claims of tough regulation and wondered if the senator was "getting his talking points confused."

"I think the question of McCain’s age is back on the table," Donaldson said.

McCain's bad week clearly is not behind him.
