You're going to see a lot hatred on Free Republic for John McCain as it is dominated by Bushbots who cannot tell the difference between a genuine patriot who could have rallied support for victory in Iraq by now had he been elected in 2000, and a bumbling prez who seems not to know the difference between victory or defeat.

The same John McCain who considered running as Kerry's VP in 2004?

"I try to stay as drunk for as long as possible while I'm here … In fact, I'm drinking now"

Excuse but last I heard Iraq was a Muslim country and drinking was forbidden. Mr. Ware better watch his 6 because their are people over there that might become mighty upset if they here an infidel is drinking alcohol in their country.

This is the interview with Michael Ware, tell me what you think:

(I think HH should have asked him if he's converted. Funny how he stated re: McCain, that an American couldn't last twenty minutes walking in the street in Baghdad... yet he's been there four years, think about it)

Ware is not an infidel, he is a propagandist for the terrorists, (as are the ones who defend him).

I really don't care if this reporter disappears and is tortured to death. Bad karma or not, he's a POS.

"Maybe Ware was drunk; that would be consistent with his own description of how he spends his time in Baghdad. But he is an extreme manifestation of an all too common phenomenon--the journalist as advocate rather than neutral observer. One of the many problems with a reporter who becomes an activist, agitating for a particular side of a public issue, is that he loses any hope of objectivity. Having publicly committed himself to the proposition that everything that happens in Iraq is a disaster, having publicly ridiculed those who pointed to optimistic developments, how can anyone trust that Ware's future reporting is giving us anything like the straight story from Iraq? And what does his conduct say about his employer, CNN? How much confidence can we have in their reporting from Baghdad, or anywhere else?"

Yes the same CNN that worked with Saddam before we invaded in exchange for office space at his palace.

Perhaps some of you should have read What the National Review observed re: Drudge's report:

CNN's Michael Ware Responds to Heckling Report
Via Drudge, which broke the story [ McCain heckled by CNN reporter Sun Apr 01 2007 13:50:38 ET], CNN correspondent Michael Ware responded today to charges that he heckled Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham at a Baghdad press conference. On CNN's American Morning, Soledad O'Brien asked Ware if the charges were true. He responded:
WARE: Well, let's bear in mind that this is a report that was leaked by an unnamed official of some kind to a blog somewhere on the Internet. No one has gone and put their name forward. We certainly haven't heard McCain say anything about it or any of his staff come forward to say anything about it. I did not heckle the Senator. Indeed, I didn't say a word. I didn't even ask a question. In fact, when I raised my hand to ask a question, the press conference abruptly ended. So what I was suggest is that anyone who has any queries about whether I heckled, watch the videotape.
Leaving aside the absurdity of anyone from the press disparaging reports attributed to "unnamed officials," Ware's denial — daring those who doubt him to watch the tape — is fairly convincing. One surmises that eventually the tape will be put on Youtube, and eventually bloggers of all stripes will be analyzing it like the Zapruder film for evidence of heckling. Ware must know that. So is it possible that he's lying? I suspect we'll soon find out.

And, unfortunately for Drudge, who has once more passed along garbage without even attempting to determine the supposed witness, the Bill Maher interview with Michael Ware is on YouTube. He obviously made a joke with Maher at the beginning about "I am drinking now." In his portion of the ten-minute segment, Ware is obviously sober. What a piece of dreck Drudge is, garbage in and garbage out. This reminds me of Drudge's famous siren special of 2000, "Bush Drunk at Wedding" video.

Another great piece of work by jveritas, I missed that, thanks for posting.

CNN truly lives up to it's reputation of biased reporting and catering to the commie left.

Ware on CNN now claims since McCain had security means his whole Iraq policy is in question.

LOL, maybe he is "drunk" again!

The same John McCain who considered running as Kerry's VP in 2004?

According to what he said on last Friday's Sean Hannity show, he was "contacted" by Kerry but never "considered" being his running mate..."why would I?" Sean, he said, "I'm a Republican!" Apparently, you and most of the other McCain haters don't want to "consider" that fact.

Apparently, you have a selective memory.

From the Daily Oakland Press:

Kerry, McCain create buzz

Web-posted Apr 7, 2004

WASHINGTON - The game inside the Beltway now focuses on John Kerry's pick of a running mate. The same game rages inside Kerry's campaign headquarters. If there is a consensus among Kerry aides about the boldest and most potent pick, it is Sen. John McCain of Arizona - a Republican.

While Kerry has talked about his search with few people, many high-level staffers believe McCain will get serious consideration.

The other name heard most frequently is that of Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., who defended Kerry last week in a CNN interview. In the primaries, however, Kerry questioned Edwards's ability to deliver Southern votes.

Not only could McCain help Kerry pick up Electoral College votes in a pivotal Southwestern state, but the former Vietnam POW would also be a staunch ally for what is expected to be a fierce battle with President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

Such a ticket could offer the prospect of a reduction in partisanship on Capitol Hill, as well as a return to the national unity of the time after Sept. 11, 2001.

Above all, Kerry aides hypothesize that by choosing McCain, Kerry would energize the election, create a buzz and attract swing and independent voters. Surveys this year showed that many people who backed Howard Dean were the "McCainiacs" who helped McCain win the 2000 Republican primary in New Hampshire against Bush.

"The narrative fits the country right now," a Kerry aide said of a Kerry-McCain partnership, while not ruling out others.

McCain has said he would not run with Kerry, but last month he renewed speculation when he was asked on ABC's "Good Morning America" whether he would consider running with Kerry. He replied, "Obviously, I would entertain it."

Those within the Kerry camp acknowledge that picking McCain would be fraught with political peril, from within the his party and from Republicans. McCain, for example, opposes abortion, in contrast to the Democratic position.

A McCain defection would probably trigger an even harsher critique of his record from Bush and the GOP than he faced in 2000, when he was portrayed as a brainwashed Manchurian candidate after his wartime confinement.

Reporters at a Kerry round table asked him about McCain.

"I'm not commenting," he said.

Did that mean he was not ruling McCain out?

"I'm not commenting," he said.

The New York Times reported Sunday that four potential picks are Edwards, Rep. Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri, and Govs. Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Tom Vilsack of Iowa.

Aides note that despite their differences, Kerry and McCain both voted against the tax cuts proposed by Bush, opposed plans to drill for oil in Alaska and jointly presented a proposal to raise automobile fuel-efficiency standards.
