During an interview with the Des Moines Register editorial board yesterday, John McCain said with a completely straight face that he aspired to be a dictator, while decrying the Congressional rejection of the bailout bill.
“I just want to make a comment about the obvious issue and that is the failure of Congress to act yesterday. Its just not acceptable,” said McCain. “This is just a not acceptable situation. I’m not saying this is the perfect answer. If I were dictator, which I always aspire to be, I would write it a little bit differently.”
