The theme for the Sunday shows: It's the economy, stupid. And, how the stupid Bush/McCain economic agenda almost destroyed the economy. And, how the stupidity of Bush/McCain economics is going to cost U.S. taxpayers at least another $700 billion. And, how John McCain doesn't have a clue about the economy. I think that sums it up rather succinctly.
