Last week, channeling his inner Mr. Rogers (RIP), Senator and Presidential hopeful John McCain--trying to put a positive spin to put it lightly on the violence in Iraq--stated that things in Iraq are safer than the biased and liberal MSM makes it out to be:

On Monday morning's Bill Bennett's Morning in America radio show, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) said that there were parts of Baghdad where he and the host could go for a walk.

"There are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through those neighborhoods, today," he said, when asked to highlight something positive about what American forces have been able to accomplish in Iraq.

And what about that recent leisurely stroll McCain took in Iraq to demonstrate his point that some parts of Iraq are no different than Main Street, USA ?  Oh, along with reporters obviously, he was also accompanied by:

100 American soldiers, with three Blackhawk helicopters, and two Apache gunships overhead.

The man ROLLS DEEP.  That's quite an entourage.  And along with the bulletproof vest he was wearing, even 50 Cent was impressed.
