“Boo hoo,” replied Obama.*
With Obama regaining his lead in the polls, McCain is starting to get existential about his presidential bid.
From the Boston Globe:
Asked why Obama has been rising as the Wall Street crisis has dominated attention, McCain said with a chuckle on Fox News Channel: “Because life isn’t fair.”
“He certainly did nothing for the first few days,” McCain added. “I suspended my campaign, took our ads down, came back to Washington, met with the House folks and got on the phone, and also had face-to-face meetings.”
McCain went on to repeat his point: “Life isn’t fair, as I mentioned earlier in the program.”
Incredibly, he also said Sarah Palin has “more experience in leadership than Senator Obama and Senator Biden put together,” what with her job as mayor of a 7,000-resident town in Alaska, and her two years as governor of America’s 47th most populous state. With 680,000 people, Alaska’s population is 17 per cent the size of Puerto Rico’s, and just about on par with Winnipeg.
In contrast, Biden has been a U.S. senator for 36 years, and Obama spent eight years in the Illinois Senate before his three and a half years as a senator in Washington.

You keep forgetting that the Republicans (yes, I realize that’s a generalization) don’t seem to feel compelled to speak the truth. Although I think the concept of “fairness” in Life is bizarre to begin with.
