More McCain complaints about media
Not that they're bitter or anything.
In the latest harsh humor about all the attention that Barack Obama is getting on his overseas trip, John McCain's campaign has issued his traveling press corps fake new credentials.
"JV Squad. Left Behind to Report in America," the tag says, over a red-white-and-blue, fireworks-exploding image of the Statue of Liberty.
On the other side: an image of a French beret-wearing man pouring wine with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Obama, as the McCain camp acidly notes, is being covered wall-to-wall by a press horde that includes not only the usual cable TV personalities, but also by the anchors of the three broadcast network evening newscasts. On Tuesday, it unveiled videos accusing the media of being "in love" with Obama.
When Obama gives a speech before an adoring crowd in Berlin on Thursday, the Republican National Committee plans to air a radio ad, hitting Obama's record on supporting the troops, in three other Berlins back home -- in New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
