This is petty, but it made me laugh

Earlier this week, the Giuliani campaign set up a visit/appearance with a couple in Iowa, the idea being to hold an event on their property and talk about the horrors of the inheritance tax and how it would destroy honest farmers like this couple.

But, after the campaign found out that the couple weren't rich enough to be adversely affected, they cancelled the event leaving the former supporters angry after all the effort they'd put in. Ugly, but not that big a deal.

NOW, it gets really funny, as McCain tries to horn in on the action, calling the family to apologize "on behalf of all politicians," and trying to publicly meet the couple himself. Obviously, McCain wants this story to have legs to point to Giuliani as coastal elitist, but really, isn't it early to be throwing this many barbs at Giuliani?

(Maybe it's because in his seventies, this is McCain's last chance.) These Republicans are fighting so hard to run as the Bush tied candidate.
