Time,
Boston Globe,
Newsday -- this story is out of control now.
Team Obama responds by accusing John McCain of "running an
increasingly dishonorable campaign," which will only add more fuel
to the fire.
Did you know that Thursday will be the
36th anniversary of Thomas Eagleton's resignation as George
McGovern's running mate? Just thought I'd mention that . . .
UPDATE: McCain's spokesman on Fox
News:
"He prioritizes throngs of fawning Germans over meeting
with wounded combat troops in Germany. . . .
"I think there have been nine different excuses out of Barack
Obama's campaign as to why that trip and that visit never took
place, and all of them fundamentally ignore one fact, which is that
he couldn't make time in his schedule to meet with wounded combat
troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan."
This seems almost deliberately provocative, as if Team McCain were
daring Obama to complain that it's unfair -- at which point they'll
turn around and accuse Obama of "whining." This is the
95 mph fastball I
was trying to warn the rookie about.
