Video - AMC vs. McCain: Ana Marie Cox (a/k/a the “Wonkette”) has a friendly debate w/ McCain on the STE bus
On Swampland, Ana Marie Cox, the alter ego of the Wonkette, provides an entertaining video of her in a friendly debate on foreign policy, with Senator McCain on the Straight Talk Express bus. As she puts it in her intro to the post:
It’s true, the back of the bus can get very cozy, and not just as in crowded. A core group of reporters has been with him long enough that we could start a band or a book club, so entrenched are the inside jokes and personal references…
After the video, she writes:
I thought that sort of missed the point. Not that we got much further, but this is a fairly typical example of what it’s like to try and get John McCain off his game.

This is a very informative video and a chance to see Senator McCain at his best - informally discussing the issues on the back of the Straight Talk Express…
Note: the constant zeroing-in on McCain’s hand, I speculate, was to call the viewer’s attention to the bracelet he has been wearing, in tribute to a soldier, since he was asked to do so at a town hall meeting…

McCain hit that curve right out of the park!
I don’t see how McCain missed the point at all - we are there to help the Iraqis stand on their own feet and we stay as long as we need to.
