Did anyone hear Ed Henry (CNN) tell his story about McCain's odd behavior?
Ed Henry, of CNN, told a story to Wolfie about how he had spent many years covering
the senate and McCain. He said that McCain always joked with him, called out his
name when he saw him - real buddies. So when Henry got on the campaign bus recently,
he felt very comfortable going up to McCain. He said that he didn't say one word
to him as he approached. Finally, Henry said, "it's been a long time." He said all McCain
said was, "yes it has" so Henry walked away.

1. freaky, and reminds me of Jay Carney from Time's story about McCain recently!
Where Jay said that he had been friends with McCain for a while, that McCain had even helped open some doors for him when he was beginning as a journalist, and then he went to Mccain's plane to interview him (the "read my book! It's in my book!" interview) and Jay said that he was COMPLETELY different...quote "like something out of body snatchers"...scary. Interesting story from Ed Henry though, thanks for sharing.

4. "Like Something Out of Body Snatchers"
is an apt description. He really does not seem like the same person.

2. That makes me think again of Maureen Dodd's editorial
I saw it posted here tonight - about McCain being a question mark. I can't seem to find it right now. The OP must have sunk but it was a good editorial about how Schmnidt, when he took over the campaign, really changed McCain from the guy he used to be.

3. Ed Henry always seems to cover McLame with a certain amount of disdain
must be because McGrumpypants has turned into a class A Ahole
