Holtz-Eakin walks back McCain's empty and ignorant threat to fire SEC chair

John McCain's senior economic advisor says even though McCain said he would fire SEC Chair Christopher Cox if he were president, that's not what he meant.

On a conference call, McCain advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin said McCain "made clear what his standards are for performance" and that he'd "ask for the resignation" of an SEC chairman in this case, were he president.
When I wrote a previous post on this topic, I forgot that John McCain doesn't speak for the McCain campaign.

My bad.
