Does John McCain Understand What the Word "Suspend" Means?
Our friend Scout Finch over at Daily Kos is throwing out a question about the suspension of John McCain's campaign that doesn't really look like it's been suspended all that much…
But, what – exactly – did he "suspend"? His surrogates are all over television, attacking Obama. His campaign ads are still running and his Internet fundraising is still operational. McCain's press crew is fully operational. He spent the day with Rick Davis, his lobbyist campaign manager. And all of his campaign offices are still open and fully operational.
And now comes word via Jonathan Martin at The Politico that McCain will spend the evening doing interviews on ABC, NBC, and CBS.
Well, Scout — or "Ms. Finch," as I like to say when I'm feeling miffy — there's a perfectly good reason why John McCain is still campaigning so heartily even while his campaign is in suspension. Perfectly good.
Unfortunately, his campaign is in suspension, so he can't answer that question.
But, I will say this: John McCain's campaign may be suspended right now, but it wasn't all that long ago that something else of his was suspended: His freedom.
Were you aware that he was once a POW in a North Vietnamese prison camp? Or that he's a maverick? Or that he can bench press 200 pounds… with one arm? Or that his running mate puts lipstick on her pit bull? Or that America was attacked by 9/11?
Think about that next time you ask a completely justified question about an unjustifiable practice of his campaign.

John McCain needs to suspend his lies
Only a Maverick can suspend his campaign without actually suspending his campaign.
Jimmy Kimmel: At his age, McCain has trouble maintaining an election.
Not "Suspends" –> Depends !
I can't wait for Friday and the obvious question, "Well, Sen. McCain, what EXACTLY did you do to save the economy this week? Specifics, please."
Apparently, he sat in the room and said nothing for 45 mins. and then threw in a wrench asking for LESS oversight and more tax breaks for his corporate clients.
I am so glad I'm not American. Rep. or Dem. this farce must be so embarrassing for you guys. You have my pity.
we have this historical lier, openly push his lies right into our faces. Excepting to sell his 'POW' story to win the presidency. I never feel so disgusted with a person like that. Wake up, voters, don't fall victims to these scumbags
Straight talk okay? By using the word "suspend," McCain is really being a maverick. "Suspend" can now be accurately defined as "Actively Fucking Obama."
