Libertarian presidential nominee Bob Barr says Republicans are so afraid that he will spoil things for Sen. John McCain that the Republican presidential nominee is shadowing him, scheduling appearances in battleground states to match Mr. Barr's own campaign events.

Keith Smiley/The Washington Times THREE'S A CROWD: Bob Barr says he wants to show Americans that they have another choice.

"I suppose it's a compliment," Mr. Barr told editors and reporters at The Washington Times. "It confirms that the states where we are spending our time are really the critical ones, in which the gaps between Senators McCain and [Barack] Obama are smaller than what we are polling.

McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds dismissed the claim.

SHAME on the Times for giving this guy ink! Sheesh.

He’s a whore who just wants to say he cost McCain the election. I won’t give him that satisfaction!

This is the man who got duped into a fake interview with Sacha Cohen, and thought he was eating cheese made from breast milk. What a joke.

He may scare some of McCain’s grandchildren — if they’re under seven years old.

I dunno. Bob scares me a little too. It isn’t anything a cattle prod and a straitjacket wouldn’t cure...

Barr Derangement Syndrome differs from all the others in that the only victim is the candidate himself.

I doubt it. Barr does not have a libertarian record.

Barr scares me so we’re even.

Damned. I can use him to haunt houses for Halloween. We can make a fortune.
