Media Stars Will Accompany Obama Overseas By JIM RUTENBERG
WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain’s trip to Iraq last spring was a low-key affair: With his ordinary retinue of reporters following him abroad, the NBC News anchor Brian Williams reported on his arrival in Baghdad from New York, with just two sentences tacked onto the “in other political news” portion of his newscast.
But when Mr. Obama heads for Iraq and other locations overseas this summer, Mr. Williams is planning to catch up with him in person, as are the other two evening news anchors, Charles Gibson of ABC and Katie Couric of CBS, who, like Mr. Williams, are far along in discussions to interview Mr. Obama on successive nights.
And while the anchors are jockeying for interviews with Mr. Obama at stops along his route, the regulars on the Obama campaign plane will have new seat mates: star political reporters from the major newspapers and magazines who are flocking to catch Mr. Obama’s first overseas trip since becoming the presumptive nominee of his party.
The extraordinary coverage of Mr. Obama’s trip reflects how the candidate remains an object of fascination in the news media, a built-in feature of being the first African-American presidential nominee for a major political party and a relative newcomer to the national stage.

They are making fools of themselves. They show us they are nothing but poodles to the obamasiah. We will see nothing but verbal bj’s throughout the week. McCain should joke about it but he should make a point of it.
A truck load of monkeys.
Media Whores For Obama.
They are just HACKS Jerry...HACKS!
Lets see if the New Yorker puts up a satire of these prestigious “news” anchors liking the shoes of the great one. They have truly become laughing stocks.
Ok, packing my suitcase:
Extra undies for 120 degree heat. check
High socks so the camel spiders can’t bite my legs. check
Cool hat to look good on camera. check
Knee pads to suck up to the Obamessiah. check
Let’s try this headline:
Media Stars Will Accompany US Troops Overseas
There fixed it...........
Maybe the Mahdi Army will have a parade for Obama when he arrives.... AQ floats, and American flag burning demonstrations, all while Obama wears traditional Arab clothing, shooting an AK-47 in the air.
It just wouldn’t be a proper procession without his courtesans...
Gee, I hope some Muslim extremists don’t kidnap Couric. She’s much too valuable to have anything happen to her. It seems like about a year ago when they were talking about her going to Iraq she said she was a single mother and couldn’t take the risk. I guess it’s safe now. Wow the surge must have worked. I hope Barack isn’t so wrapped up with the Media Whores that he has some actual time to talk to the generals and maybe learn something first hand instead of the filtered version made up by CBS, NBC, and ABC.
Denver surprise with Hillary as nominee? The rumor mill rumbles of supers changing to HRC
No surprise, but this is crap.
Oh my Stars!, the nitwits of the screaming media. They will take the bullet for nobama, should one would fly into a safe area.
Katie Couric? That ought to finish his candidacy.
“With his normal retineu of following him oversea?” When WAS HE LAST OVERSEAS, EXCEPT to africa?
Better check, but I think the IAU has reclassified most of the members of that constellation as plutoids or dwarf planets.
Will nobama have the questions before the “interview and butt licking” in time to put up an answer screen?
After my “smart aleck” remark......The RNC should have a field day with the “IMPORTANT” presstitutes of the msm asking inane questions and nobama giving pre-written answerers. There should be a whole lot of 2 second sound bites to bugger nobama’a hind-end for sometime. Do we think the RNC has the b-lls to do it?
OK, where are the suicide bombers when you REALLY need them?
O.K., they at least mentioned his trip, didn't they??? Well, they did, didn't they?
Will they corkscrew into the airport to avoid the sniper-fire? How about Sinbad? Is coming along?
Fodder for another SNL skit.
I am sure the “media stars” will rut around and find the most negative things they can to report while holding Obama up for adolation...
This country has its way.
What a damn shame.
This country has its way.
These jock-sniffing anchors are completely corrupt.
What a damn shame.
Ping.
Don’t say monkeys on this board. That’s a no no- unless you’re taling about Bush.
Can a one way ticket be purchased for Katie?
These are the stars? Who are the bit players?
Actually. the stars are the people of these countries themselves, and they don’t need Gibson, Couric, etc.
What utterly disgusting commie lovers. Obama makes Dukakis look like a competent man.
Chimpy ObaMao
When McCain went on his tour of Europe in April exactly how many anchors flew with him?
Two months ago, I remember wanting to see more of McCain’s European trip on the network news but they only devoted a few minutes and then they focused on the small misspeak McCain made in Israel with Joe Lieberman.
I’ll be this time they devote at least 15 minutes to Obami per broadcast and it will be glowing coverage.
I think it is time for McCain to make another quick trip to Europe to see what the networks do.
Ahh, thank you SS! Been gone all evening and too late to work on anything but I appreciate your comment!
Oh. It figures it would come to that. The clown doesn’t have the balls to take a serious trip and meet directly with the ground commanders and those in the field with no side distractions. He is a damn coward and one hell of a sneaky bastard.
LOL. Now if only the ‘patient’ looked like Chrissy Matthews..... with a tingling feeling up his leg.
LOL.... or maybe these great “anchors” are merely small lifeless asteroids heading for oblivion.
Scarlett Johansson?
Will Chris Matthews be there tossing rose petals in front of the Obamessiah?
The MSM makes the girls in Ed Sullivan’s audience when Elvis and The Beatles played the show look mature and reserved.
I wanted to avoid “brown dwarf” and most especially “black hole”. Especially in Dallas County.
You don’t have to like it to lick it.
