McCain's Landstuhl-Mogadishu Hypocrisy
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported this weekend, John McCain is making revolting use of wounded soldiers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in order to score political points against Barack Obama, even above the objections of noted critic John McCain From Last Year. It began with a grandstanding statement by spokesman Brian Rogers, then continued with various denunciations by surrogates, and culminated in a TV ad.

[Congressional Record, 5/24/07]Update: 9 pm - As Mark Impomeni reports, McCain is now using this as the basis for a campaign ad. For shame, Senator McCain. For shame. Whatever this episode ...

By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyOne casualty of Sen. Barack Obama's busy schedule on his foreign trip was a planned visit to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a U.S. military hospital located at the U.S. air base in Ramstein, Germany. The cancellation left Obama with a gap in his official schedule this morning in Berlin before he boarded a plane to fly to Paris for a five-hour stop over en route to London. Obama was to visit with troops receiving treatment for wounds inflicted in Iraq and Afghanistan at Landstuhl. Now, the cancellation, and the Obama campaign's shifting explanations for it, are raising questions.Obama ...
