Obama Goes Stones over Beatles

Is this a deal breaker? CQ Politics writer David Nather describes a tension-filled affair just prior to the unveiling of the bailout package.

There's not a lot there, besides, obviously, Obama's untypically undiplomatic choice of the Stones over the Beatles.

Though I've never considered how he would respond to such a question, I'm not completely shocked. Just disappointed.

No word on how McCain would respond, but good money says he'd take "The Glenn Miller Orchestra" any day of the week. Hell, the guy probably thinks Pat Boone recorded the original version of "Tutti Frutti".

***UPDATE: Previously blogged about Meghan McCain shows either a very sharp grasp of irony or a Palinesque lack of awareness.  We'll let you decide which.
