McCain complains of rough media treatment

In the past war hero McCain (pictured) was given great press my most of the media.

Now it’s different and the Senator acts like his feelings are hurt. Well, welcome to the real world Senator McCain.

Sen. John McCain, who was the darling of the political press corps during the 2000 election cycle, complains to friends that he is getting much rougher treatment from the news media than his competitors for the 2008 Republican presidential nomination, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney.

McCain feels that his support for President Bush's Iraq policy has soured his erstwhile reporter friends. Although Giuliani and Romney also have been criticized by the media, McCain privately expresses the view that they have gotten off easy.
