Usually these sorts of things just dribble around the edges of the mainstream media, but the articles mocking John McCain's visit to a Baghdad market are flowing through all the news outlets. SFGate: Baghdad merchants astounded at McCain's claims of security They say the market he saw, surrounded by GIs and humvees, wasn't real life, NY Times: McCain Wrong on Iraq Security, Merchants Say.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
