Sheer absurdity. It just gets worse, as McCain also tries to find a way to reschedule (or cancel) Palin's debate with Biden. CNN Political Ticker:
McCain supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham tells CNN the McCain campaign is proposing to the Presidential Debate Commission and the Obama camp that if there's no bailout deal by Friday, the first presidential debate should take the place of the VP debate, currently scheduled for next Thursday, October 2 in St. Louis.
In this scenario, the vice presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin would be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined, and take place in Oxford, Mississippi, currently slated to be the site of the first presidential faceoff this Friday.

It is also starting to smell like the McCain campaign is trying to hold the debate hostage on behalf of the big companies who are going to benefit from the bailout deal. Pass the bailout, and he'll debate. What a wanker.

For some strange reason, I had thought he might be above this sort of behavior. Apparently not. Sad indeed.
