    What's the deal.....with McFossil always almost boasting about doing what he's told?
    We have this ANWAR example. Last spring, in explaining his flip-flop on offshore drilling, he openly said he now does whatever oil executives tell him. If I recall correctly he originally said he'd give Greenspan absolute obedience on economic matters.
    For that matter, when he "suspended" his campaign and made his half-assed descent upon Washington to crash the ransom planning, he didn't seem to have had any idea what he advocated there either until the House republicans told him what to advocate.
    What the hell kind of chief executive candidate is this?
