Okay, so here’s the question. The media pummeled Barack Obama for a “gaffe” and a “stumble” when he said American lives were “wasted” in Iraq. So how about McCain? How about it?

Yesterday, during his Presidential announcement on David Letterman, McCain described American lives lost in Iraq as “wasted.” He has just issued a statement
saying he screwed up and instead should have used the word “sacrificed.” This is exactly the same mistake, of course, that Obama committed back in mid-February.

A number of bloggers today have pointed out that the conservative outrage machine has been silent about this — even as it went into overdrive in response to Obama. - http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/horsesmouth/2007/03/fussillade_of_s.php
