Fishbowl America Round-Up for July 7th:

John McCain Doesn’t Know Much About The Economy, Or How To Pay His Bills

This is downright crazy. Walnuts McCain, who owns ten houses, and whose wife is worth millions… is carrying a six-figure credit card debt. Not to mention he neglected to pay property taxes on his California home for 4 YEARS! Or that his economic advisor was a key player in the subprime mortgage meltdown. And don’t even think about asking him what the price of gasoline is, or why it matters. (Hat tip to Mooncat at leftinalabama.com)
