McCain Trip B Roll For "60 Minutes" Profile?
McCain: "The American People Are Not Getting the Full Picture Here"

John McCain has given exclusive rights to the video of his trip to CBS's 60 Minutes Slogger has learned. Although the Presidential candidate has provided interviews and press conferences while in Baghdad, McCain is apparently saving the good stuff for this Sunday.

The delegation has engendered a hostile and bitter reception from the foreign and U.S. media. The general tone of the U.S. based coverage has been dismissive to insulted. Video tape of the press conference shows an incredulous and perhaps even insulted press corp. After visiting Tikrit and Ramadi McCain met with press and came under intense scrutiny by Baghdad-based media. Sounding weary and tired McCain and his entourage tried to paint a picture of Baghdad being safer than "before". The charade could only last so long. The American military decided to cut off transmission of a press conference when it appeared that McCain's "good news" nemesis Michael Ware raised his hand to ask a question.

2. The tax payers paid for the trip we should pick who uses it!

It is good that we can use 60 minutes as an arm of FOX news. McCain in much of the disease that eats at this country.

5. There is a good chance that 60 Minutes will portray McCain as a fool.

I'd watch that.

8. I had fun with 60 minutes after Katie did her dirty on Edwards.

I called and let them know that it was below their standards to let her get away with that interview. I know I felt better afterward, don't think it will change the world. Maybe I will try and watch John in hopes that he looks like the *ss that he is! Peace, Kim

4. I can only hope

there is some independent video that shows the place surrounded by humvees, the 100 soldiers guarding the baffoon, and the helicpoters patrolling overhead. Combine the two and there would definitely be some award for "Most Ironic Video" - "Good News from Iraq," starring John McCain.

It's bad enough that my tax dollars are being used to fund this war, but it really burns me up when it's used to stage rosy picture photo ops for the monthly Repuke visit.

6. An even bet that 60 Mins will cover his trip with accolades or shit

hard one to call.

If 60 Mins shows the long shot of McCain surrounded by 100 soldiers and the air support, with his voice-over saying how "safe" Baghdad is, I believe we will have the Dukakis moment in his campaign.

7. McCain won't comment on 400+ civilians killed in four days last week

McCain's own personal video footage of his Bagdad stroll charade is bullsh*t!

10. This proves Iraqslogger is a RW shill

Like this blog could be written by anyone other than a GOPer. Who else would keep passing on the debunked lie of Ware/McCain.

11. Why didn't the prick just bring the media with him and let them film this scam in real time?

That is what I am wondering.
