F.C., a Vernon Hills reader, writes:

"How come you're not pointing out that B. Hussein Obama, the so called "messiah," did not go to see wounded troops on his photo-op campaign trip?"

You are mimicking, among other things, the John McCain TV ad that darkly accuses Barack Obama of not respecting our wounded soldiers except as photo props:

"Seems the Pentagon wouldn't allow him to bring cameras . . ."

The McCain campaign knows this isn't true -- that Obama, in fact, has visited privately with wounded soldiers in Iraq and the United States.

There are two explanations for such TV ads.

The first is that McCain is not a particularly honorable man.

The second is that he is so old he tends to become confused about his facts and surroundings.

QT will leave it to you to choose one.
