I guess his sec'y of state is fair game, though.

Not that I put any stock in the "don't criticize the Pres on foreign soil" thing in the first place, but it is an old right wing chestnut. By their definition, it seems, McCain and Gingrich are bordering on unpatriotic here. Though that's the least of the issues.
