WTF Is It Now?!?

Getting the full picture
We've secretly replaced Senator McCain's Centrum Silver with LSD. Let's see if he notices...

The straight-talkin' maverick, 3/26/07: "There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods today."

Walking is no problem. It's the not getting shot at and killed part...

4/01/07: McCain slinked briefly through a Baghdad market, wearing a bulletproof vest and accompanied by a heavily-armed escort of 100 soldiers, 3 Blackhawk helicopters and 2 Apache gunships, in a photo-op to cite progress on safety issues.

Bonus: not only is violence in Iraq up 15%, but the location of McCain's happy fun walk was "showered with mortars" right after he left, AmericaBlog reports.

Fucked-up: 6 US soldiers die near Baghdad as John McCain goes shopping. "Too bad those now-dead six American service members didn't have 100 troops, 3 Blackhawk helicopters, and 2 Apache gunships backing THEM up."

Meanwhile, fair and balanced rightwing mouthbreathers (instapud, hindrocket, drudge and others) are screaming that CNN reporter Michael Ware should be fired for "heckling" St McCain. Which, on Planet Earth, actually never happened.
