Jake Tapper has posted a great blog entry bringing up some key points about the McCain campaign’s response to McCain not being in the “cone of silence“:

1) The McCain campaign’s vitriol against NBC’s Andrea Mitchell is odder still when you consider that the McCain campaign’s blogger Michael Goldfarb was quoting her very same reporting approvingly as evidence that the Obama campaign was a bunch of whiners.

2) The McCain campaign’s responses so far are entirely focused on McCain’s geography and whether or not he himself could hear and see Obama being questioned.

McCain’s campaign is also refusing to say whether or not he heard any of Obama’s segment.
