Uh oh, now they've pissed off Maureen Dowd

The manly straight-talkin' campaign has barred the award-winning NY Times journalist from flying in the McCain/Palin press planes.

"I had had a great relationship with John McCain for 16 years, through columns he liked and didn't like. So at first I thought it was a mistake and doublechecked with the press office. They said I was banned from both planes for 'the foreseeable future.' Then [McCain spokeswoman] Nicole Wallace was gloating about it to reporters on the Palin plane," Dowd wrote in an email.

"It was disappointing because I didn't think John McCain would ever be as dismissive of the First Amendment as Dick Cheney."

Don't worry, though, Hugh Hughwut still loves them.
