  C'mon, Ol' John was just misunderstood

  In a radio interview Monday, McCain said that "there are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today."

  Well, you know, he's right. He could take a walk in any Baghdad neighborhood right now. Never mind that by the end of the walk his head and his body would likely end up in separate places, but yes, he could take that walk.

  And in a CNN appearance Tuesday, McCain told Wolf Blitzer that he "ought to catch up on things." Even outside the Green Zone, McCain said, Iraq is safe enough that Gen. David Petraeus "goes out there almost every day in an unarmed Humvee."

  You see, what he means is that the Humvee itself is not armed. It is just an inanimate object. Now the people on the Humvee could be armed. And all the other Humvees around the General could have armed personnel on them. But the Humvee itself would not be armed.

  So once again it's just a case of the liberal media twisting St. John's blessed words in order to spread lies about this glorious war he has so fondly embraced. Bill Bennett sees right through it, I'm sure.

  Straight Talk McCain, what an oxymoron.
