| McCain Suggests Parliament-Style Sessions
If elected, John McCain suggests taking a cue from the British parliamentary process by the President holding question-and-answer sessions with Congress. Quote:
McCain said exchanges such as those in the British House of Commons are a way of holding leaders accountable.

I though press conferences were supposed to be q and a sessions? I remember Kennedy's weekly press conferences.
Under Bush the press conferences hit a new low -- in frequency and format. Bush get's the questions in advance.

I hate that loaded questions bs.... How many of these goombas can have an actual thought anymore... hell, I'll even spring for an original but ignorant thought.
I m pretty sure that all three of the candidates that are left have been busted on that already.... | |

Somebody opined today on one of the talking-head shows that McCain wouldn't last 11 minutes. He'd either cuss someone out, punch someone, or just walk out, lol.
