I had the misfortune of hearing Sykes squawking away the other day. He was griping and groaning that the media is paying attention to Senator Barack Obama while he is touring the Middle East war zones.
Excuse me? Wasn't he one of the majorettes who, not so long ago, was criticizing Obama for not going to Iraq? Now he's complaining that he did go to Iraq?
Perhaps he's just annoyed that they're not giving the same kind of coverage to McCain. Perhaps they would if McCain did something besides go to baseball games, take naps and recycle Bush's campaign speeches from 2004.
Then again, does Sykes really want us paying closer attention to McCain? It never seems to help, but usually hurts, his standings in the polls.
Bet McCain as well could kick himself for insisting Barack take this trip. Well, at least at least it will more becoming for McCain to be beating up on himself other than on Arizona members of Congress.
