What a boob. John McCain is quoted on Reuters as saying he would consider appointing Warren Buffett as Treasury Secretary. He would also consider Cisco’s John Chambers and E-Bay’s Meg Whitman. At least the last two support him.

McCain he would “do everything” to support a stronger dollar. Particularly the US must “Stop mortgaging” our future to China. In the next breath, he calls for free trade, apparently without irony. He then went on to call for stronger climate change efforts. Way to play to the base, Maverick….

With that, I need a break. All the best, back in a few hours.
