John McCain hosted another blogger conference call today. Topics included Iraq, spending, and whether McCain knows the difference between MySpace and YouTube (he does).
But the highlight of the call had to be McCain's parting shot at his staff. For at least the past three weeks in a row, McCain has joked that bloggers should start complaining to his staff if there is too long of a gap between conference calls. Today's joke encouraged bloggers to:
"Start complaining to my incompetent staff, who are composed to work-release people."
Now, to the actual highlights. McCain will probably regret this, but when asked how President Bush should best finish his term, McCain focused on Iraq and uttered what has become an essentially taboo phrase, but suggesting Bush "stay the course."
McCain was asked when the U.S. could declare victory in Iraq. "I'm not sure when that happens," he acknowledged, before describing the progress in Iraq as "astonishingly rapid." "Overall, now, I'm confident of success," he said.
On spending, McCain used his regular campaign line, "I will veto any pork that comes across my desk."
