McCain's estranged relationship with the real world

During an interview on "The Situation Room" this afternoon, John McCain told Wolf Blitzer that he needs to "get up to speed" and stop reporting three-month-old news from Iraq. According to McCain, the surge is working! and the streets of Baghdad are safe for Americans to go strolling down. The only problem? Michael Ware, who is, ya know, a CNN reporter stationed in Baghdad, says McCain hasn't a clue…

Flinching a little, Ware opened his report by saying the reason he was having trouble hearing Wolf's question was because of the helicopters overhead and the sounds of a street gun battle nearby. He emphatically denied knowing of anywhere in Baghdad where anyone could walk in safety. Michael Ware then continued -

"Honestly, Wolf, you'll barely last twenty minutes out there. I dont know what part of Neverland Senator McCain is talking about when he says we can go strolling in Baghdad."

" Honestly...Senator McCain's statement that there are places in Baghdad where it is safe to walk is beyond ludicrous."
