Default McCain Trips over SPICs :)

During a speech today in Tampa, FL, McCain repeatedly referred to the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation, the corporation that
“return[s] customers’ cash, stock and other securities” if a brokerage
goes bankrupt, and is known as the SIPC — as S-P-I-C.



There were quite a few Hispanics in the audience at the time, and many more
have heard the comment on the news since. For someone who absolutely MUST
have a sizable percentage of the Hispanic vote in order to win, McCain's got
a strange way of wooing them.


I find it fascinating how hard McCain and Palin are working these days
to avoid being questioned by the serious media. I think it has something
to do with the fact that neither of them respond well to close
questioning. McCain loses his temper, and Palin, well, she's an idiot.
If McCain can't even get the SIPC's initialism correct in his written
speech, he's not going to do well with questions that require fact-based
responses.
