Well, how predictable? All hell is breaking lose, the "I" word has been spoken, shouted and screamed. Due to the latest antics of the White House and the fact that we just didn’t go all "level red" bat shit crazy over today’s London terror type possible attempt, it is time once again to trot out the Crazy McCain Dog and Pony Road Show!
McCain stated tonight that he was heading to Iraq again next week! Great! Just what our soldiers need to be doing on the 4th of July but cart Crazy around.

McCain plans to return to Iraq on Monday.
CNN reports, "Normally VIP visits to Iraq are kept under wraps, at least until the day of the trip. But Senator John McCain Friday night said he’s going to Iraq next week." In April, the last time he visited in Iraq, McCain claimed Americans were "not getting the full picture" of the situation in Iraq. On that same visit, McCain was escorted through a Baghdad market with 100 soldiers, 3 Blackhawk helicopters, and 2 Apache gunships.
How many resources will be used for this stunt? How many diverted troops, equipment, and expense will he chew up this time? How much will Halliburton charge for this summer concert? Does Lindsay Graham need a matching runner for the hallway that bad?
I would really like to know if someone can calculate the cost this dog and pony show. I want it hammered over and over how our troops were once again used for a Rove Photo Op on the 231 Anniversary of the US Revolution.
Let's also not forget that the day after McCain's last little performance at the Bagdad Market, that 21 children were ambused and killed on their way home from working the market.
The thing about glamour shots – you always end up looking cheap and trying too hard.
