I know I've said a thousand times that our political system is populated by a bunch of spoiled, tantrum-prone six-year-olds, but this recent whining by McCain's followers really takes the cake.

McCain camp cries foul
Washington - In a campaign week dominated by Barack Obama's trip abroad, the pro-John McCain camp has made headlines by complaining about coverage of Senator Obama's trip abroad.

Waahh, waahh, waahh. Not to point out the obvious, but a Presidential candidate traveling abroad and being well-received is pretty damn big news these days. He's even managing to keep his hands to himself in Germany... wow! The article goes on to warn McCain that complaining about the media could hurt him more than help him, but this is the part that really got me:

"What you have here is a preemptive strike, a traditional tactic of politicians," says David Paletz, a political scientist at Duke University. "If you complain enough about media bias, journalists to some extent internalize it and think we have to be as tough, or maybe we're not being as tough on Obama as we are on McCain."

Tough? Tough? On McCain??

Don't make me fucking laugh.

Update: Don't make a big deal of it. This is the best they can do. I am convinced that this planet is being bombarded by Invisible Stupid Rays from Space.
