McSame continues Bush tradition of flack audiences
HuffPo reports that John McCain, despite claiming to meet with “independent and Democratic voters,” in his so-called “Town Hall” meetings, is continuing the Bush tradition of campaigning in a bubble stacked with only friendly partisans. Ironically, McCains flackery is exposed by none other than Faux News:
“I reported at the top of this hour that the campaign had told us at Fox News that the audience would be made up of Republicans, Democrats, and independents. We have now received a clarification from the campaign and I feel I should pass it along to you. The McCain campaign distributed tickets to supporters, Mayor Bloomberg, who of course is a registered Republican, and other independent groups.”
Just carrying on the Bush family tradition, I suppose. How long before he is photographed holding Abdullah’s hand or shining Bandar’s shoes?
