McCain hypocrisy overload

John McCain: Do As I Say, Not As I Do

John McCain's hypocrisy has reached a level that when he says anything about any subject, your automatic reaction should be to go back and see what he was saying the day before. And when it comes to blaming others for his failure of leadership on the bailout bill, McCain has raised the ability to talk out of both sides of his mouth to an art form.

Yesterday he managed, in the time it took to get the words out, to blame Barack Obama and the Democratic Party while saying it wasn't time to point fingers:

Senator Obama and his allies in Congress infused unnecessary partisanship into the process. Now is not the time to affix the blame. It’s time to fix the problem.

And today, McCain said:

I am disappointed at the lack of resolve and bipartisan good will among members of both parties to fix this problem...I call on everyone in Washington to come together in a bipartisan way to address this crisis.

...and sixteen minutes later, McCain's campaign released an ad that blamed Obama and the Democrats for the financial meltdown. Sixteen minutes. Apparently McCain was calling on everyone except himself.
