The Right Way to answer a 3 AM Phone Call about a Mortgage Crisis
IMAO: Frank Idea for a McCain 3 A.M. Ad
The phone rings, waking President McCain. Groggily, he answers it. "Hello?"
"Mr. President. There is a foreclosure crisis. We need action now."McCain looks at the clock. It's 3 A.M. "Are you psychotic?"
"This is very important."
"Who is doing business at his hour?"
"We can't wait for a decision on what to do."
"It's 3 A.M.! What the hell can we do right now?!"
"We need to make a plan."
"Are honestly telling me you didn't find out there was a problem with foreclosures until right now?"
"Well... I found out earlier today. I forgot to tell you until now."
"I will strangle you!"
"That won't help the foreclosure crisis."
"Do you have a family? I will murder your family and make you watch!"
"That seems a bit extreme."
"It's 3 A.M.! You do not wake me with crap like this at this hour!"
JOHN MCCAIN: Ready to answer the call appropriately at 3 A.M.
