McCain's Crazy Talk

I don't know what McCain is doing after his little attack on Bob Corker yesterday. While abroad his bus before his speech in Nashville, McCain attacked Corker for not supporting his plan to have a gas-tax summer holiday. Corker said that the plan amounted to "pandering" and was nothing more than a "political stimulus.” This is what McCain had to say yesterday:

“So thanks for the advice, to Sen. Corker,” McCain said. “But I feel it was kind of something (where) Americans might have a little bit of relief. Frankly, it’s sort of along the same lines of when we decided to give a little money back to the taxpayers, who just got their checks I think in the last couple of weeks. Maybe that was pandering to.”

I have to agree with Sen. Corker that the plan wouldn't have done much and is likely the result of candidates desperately seeking votes. Aside from that fact though, McCain is crazy to start attacking a fellow Republican Senator that is pretty much thought well of with fellow Tennesseans. He needs to court every Republican and stay away from attacking those that will likely help him this fall.
