(AP) Republican John McCain said Thursday that as president he would appoint Alan Greenspan to lead a review of the nation's tax code - even if the former Federal Reserve chairman was dead.

"If he's alive or dead,it doesn't matter. If he's dead, just prop him up and put some dark glasses on him, like "Weekend at Bernie's," McCain joked. "Let's get the best minds in America together and fix this tax code."

The 81-year-old Greenspan served as chairman of the Fed for 18 1/2 years.

Campaigning in early-voting South Carolina, McCain was asked about his support for a flat tax.
