McCain Camp's Fake Press Pass Lampoons Obama, Media
(CBS)
(WILKES-BARRE, Penn.) John McCain’s campaign had a little fun at Barack Obama’s expense tonight, issuing a fake press pass to the McCain traveling press on the bus as we landed at the airport here. The front of the pass identifies the McCain press corps as the “JV Squad” and has the caption “Left Behind to Report in America.”
The reverse side features a Frenchman pouring a glass of wine with the same caption en francaise (“Laisse en arriere pour faire un rapport en Amerique”).
The fake press pass satirizes the preferential treatment that the McCain campaign suggests the media has given Barack Obama. The allegation of media bias is nothing new but has reached a fever pitch in light of the presumptive Democratic nominee's foreign trip, which has garnered extensive attention from the press.
Earlier on Tuesday, the McCain campaign released a web ad called "Obama Love," which strings together a series of clips featuring prominent TV journalists lavishing praise upon the Illinois senator.
Check out the pictures of the fake press pass below.

John McCain = 3rd Bush term. No Question.
But, when it%u2019s the Same McSame old thing time after time %u201Cit%u2019s the media my friends, and the Liberals, and those Clintons, folks%u2026%u201D or, possibly if the Republican Party would attempt to do one thing positive for the American People instead of simply resorting to attack politics they would have something to run on. Until then laissez faire mes amis?
Grandpa should understand that the reason McCain gets no coverage is because is entire campaign is about as interesting as oatmeal.
If he wasn''t so old and boring, maybe he could get some traction.

No, ChrisL45 must be one of those "Drunk" WallStreeterers!
Mccain is making a lot of mistakes during the campaign. He said in a interview on the Today show that Iraq and Pakistan shared a border.
In an interview with Katie Couric , he stated the Sunni %u201Cawakening%u201D occurred during the %u201Csurge%u201D, although the %u201Csurge%u201D came months after the %u201CSunni Awaking%u201D.
In an interview with a Pittsburgh reporter, McCain told the reporter that he gave the names of the Pittsburgh Steelers as his flight crew. Although in his book he gave the name of the Green Bay Packers.
In an interview with a LA reporter, McCain acts dumfounded about what his stance on insurance covering viagra and not birth control pills. He finally says he doesn%u2019t have enough information to answer the question.
During a town meeting in Arizona he talked about Czechoslovakia, when the country had not existed since 1993.
During a press conference , McCain stated that Iran was aiding and arming al qaeda in Iraq. Joe Lieberman had to inform McCain that al qaeda was Sunni not Shia and iran was aiding insurgents not al qaeda.
Mccain bragged to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials
about the fact that he supported the 1986 immigration bill. He actually vocally opposed the bill and voted against it.
So is McCain confused and would you really want he with his finger on the nuclear button.
Having said that, McCain does seem to have problems keeping facts straight. We''ve seen that problem first-hand with Bush, and I for one don''t want another four years of having to make excuses for the ignorance of our President. McCain was never the brightest bulb, but I respected his independence. Now that he has sold his soul to the Republican corporation, he no longer has my respect or my vote.

My friend to say YOU aren''t the brightest bulb in the package is to overstate the obvious. I''ve got a dog that will MOST certainly give you a run for the most intelligent. My Money''s on my dog by the way. Sieg Heil Bush

MCVet, we''d have to handicap your dog in a face to face showdown with this clown; it would be MUCH too easy for him!
Given the loony-left MSM''s ALL-HUSSEIN, ALL-THE-TIME propaganda, one gets the impression that it is a one-person contest. Obviously, that is the only way a Kerry-like shallow, arrogant, platitude-spouting, inexperienced, elitist, narcissistic, flip-flopping gas-bag, who is so mentally deficient from extensive drug use he even has to plagiarize his hollow platitudes, could win an honest election.
Is anybody else embarrassed for him? He is really coming across as an insecure, petty, spoiled juvenile.
I have seen nothing but Mc Bush since Obama left and he does nothing but divide this country.
McCain should be thankful for less press coverage, that way when he is performing his daily Tai Chi of "sticking his foot in his mouth" maybe the press will miss some of it and maybe, they will only see him as he and his aids are removing that foot--then like they have in the past--they can declare that McCain was just using his mouth to clean his toenails.
