Breaking: John McCain Says The Presidential Debate Is (Boom/Boom/Boom/Boom) On… (Sax Solo)

Hey everybody, don’t put away your “Dukakis in ‘88″ or “I go bananas for Dole ‘96″ cups for your debate party yet! That MF’er is back on like Donkey Kong tonight, even after John “Twisty” McCain said he was going to be against the debate, but now he’s for it since that whole money thing seems to be working itself out (!?!).

He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations,” the McCain campaign said in a statement.

It was a different position than McCain had taken Wednesday, when he announced, “I’m directing my campaign to work with the Obama campaign and the Commission on Presidential Debates to delay Friday night’s debate until we have taken action to address this crisis.”

We’re actually pretty sad because as much as we want to hear the plans offered by these two men to try to steward this ship known as America back on the right course, it would’ve been pretty awesome to see Barack Obama just hanging out on stage alone. You know, maybe recite some Shakespeare or do some sock puppet routine with Bob Schieffer. But we’ll take this, we guess…
