[Wednesdays]

As if this cover story weren't bad enough:

On page 7 of this week's Newsweek, we have an article titled, "We Feel Your Pain, But We Also Have a Plane to Catch". Guess which candidate is listed first?

We Feel Your Pain, But We Also Have a Plane to Catch

WHERE THEY WENT
Obama: Quincy, Ill., on June 13, two days into the crisis and four days before two of the area's three levees were overtopped.

WHAT THEY DID
Obama: Grabbed a shovel and filled about 20 sandbags held open by a local 10-year-old Boy Scout. Gave speech, prayed for victims.

HOW THEY DID
Obama: Bonus points for getting there fast, and for steering clear of Iowa at the request of the governor, who feared a visit would sap resources from the recovery effort.

VISIT TIME
McCain: 80 mins.
Obama: 75 mins.

4. If Hillary had been the presumptive nominee, the headline would be that she

was afraid of getting her shoes wet . . .

If Obama walked on water, James Dobson would proclaim the water repelled him.
