What's this "tell-leaf-own" you speak of?

Yglesias observes:

After last night’s debate, John McCain went to his condo in Northern Virginia (one of eight or so houses he owns) and he’s been around there ever since. Why not head to the Hill to help with bailout negotiations? Well:

Asked why Mr. McCain did not go to Capitol Hill after coming back to Washington to help with negotiations, Mr. Salter replied that “he can effectively do what he needs to do by phone.’’

Which of course raises the question of why he had to pretend to suspend his campaign in order to rush physically to Washington last week.

Raises the question? Show me someone who says it was not a political stunt and I will show you a partisan hack.

It's either that or someone only just taught McCain how to use a phone.
