McCain takes campaign to liberal blogs

Sounds to me like McCain has once again demonstrated his distaste for conservatives:

On yesterday's call, Mr. McCain fielded seven questions, including three from non-conservative bloggers: Kate Sheppard, political reporter for environmental Web site Grist.org; Joanne Bamberger of PunditMom (http://punditmom1. blogspot.com); and Erin Kotecki Vest, who blogs at catchall site BlogHer.com as well as liberal sites HuffingtonPost.com and MOMocrats.com.

"I give them an A for effort," Ms. Vest said in a phone interview after the conference call.

I'm sure environmentalists like Ms. Vest were impressed with McCain, seeing as how he's embraced global warming -- another bouquet from McCain to his actual constituency.

And this exchange regarding McCain's reversal on setting a timetable for pulling out of the Iraq fiasco is priceless:

She asked Mr. McCain whether the vision he laid out yesterday of U.S. troops succeeding in Iraq by 2013 didn't amount to the sort of timetable he has criticized when Democrats propose a specific date for withdrawal.

Mr. McCain shot right back: "Either you didn't read or didn't understand my speech. One of the two."

Ms. Vest said she "read it and understood it just fine, and I don't understand how 2013 isn't a date."

Sure, Johnny. Whatever you say.
