Megan McArdle socks it to Barack Obama for blaming the current financial crisis on the all-purpose whipping boy, George W. Bush. But she doesn’t stop there:

Indeed, I ask the Senator to name one significant thing that Bush has done to create this crisis that couldn’t also be laid at the feet of St. William of Little Rock.  If Democratic policy is so good at protecting the little guy from asset price bubbles, how come the stock market crashed in 2000?

This kind of foolish grandstanding is not the change we need.  It’s just more of the same.

Since quoting journalists is all the rage in ads now perhaps the McCain camp can borrow that one.
