"Financial markets had shot up midday Thursday when leading lawmakers from both parties announced they had reached an agreement in principle after nearly a week of talks on the Bush administration's plan aimed at restoring chaotic financial markets and easing an escalating credit crunch.

But the good feelings seemed to evaporate about the time a new player entered the fray: McCain, who a day earlier had dramatically announced he was suspending his presidential campaign to return to Washington to help end the financial crisis. Conservative House Republicans distanced themselves from the bipartisan agreement and promoted an alternative they said would put taxpayers' money at less risk."

I thought the whole campaign suspension thing was
thoroughly wacko. But if he manages to bring down
the "bipartisan agreement" on this bailout, then
he's done a great great thing.

That's debatable, and anyway he would only do that unintentionally.

Is McCain being "crazy like a fox" or "crazy like a rabid fox"?
