| McCain's ''Vegas Vacation'' |
| 2008-08-10 |
| ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Reporters covering the McCain Campaign today received credentials titled "McCain National Pool, Las Vegas, Nevada." The credentials include an image from the 1997 movie "Vegas Vacation," showing the actor Chevy Chase splayed across a röulette table, flush with cash. While Sen. Barack Obama is on a Hawaiian vacation, McCain will address veterans in Las Vegas today and his campaign has made a point to highlight his opponent's departure from the trail. Earlier today, McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds quipped that Sen. Obama was not only on vacation from the campaign but also on vacation in regards to his voting record about Yucca Mountain, the potential storage site for nuclear waste in Nevada. "Apparently Barack Obama is also taking a vacation from the facts, ignoring his own votes in support of the Yucca Mountain project," Bounds wrote in a press statement. This was a response to an ad Sen. Obama had released regarding Sen. McCain's voting record. |
