Everything you know is wrong
From now on, batters should bunt on two strikes. Because it's official: fair is foul, and foul is fair.

Power Line's John Hinderaker, on reporter Michael Ware's mysterious silent "heckling" of John McCain:

"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?"


Apparently, the way to earn trust is to cheerlead an unnecessary invasion and occupation that metastasizes into a costly, brutal, and seemingly endless civil war.

If, on the other hand, you report on the War of Whim's well documented faults, it's time to flip the bozo bit.

2. I suppose you could moon him
but Ware didn't do anything at all.

3. Simple...
... all you have to do is be an honest reporter and have Matt Drudge tell the rest of the media that you were heckling, even when there's video that shows that you didn't.

4. Maybe McCain is so traumatized by being called out, he can't even stand to look at the guy
You have to admin, Michael Ware has an "interesting" face.

5. Maybe McCain was distracted...
... because he wanted to send someone out to find out what his position on Ware was.
