You’d think he already had that skill down, but he seems to have forgotten this year that in order to get press you have to go around making token appearances with popular icons.
As Sen. Barack Obama continues his whirlwind tour of Europe — he is now in Berlin — Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has announced he will “step off the trail” tomorrow to meet with Tibetan exile and freedom fighter Dalai Lama.
He will meet the spiritual leader in Aspen, Colorado, a McCain aide told Politico Thursday morning. The Dalai Lama is presenting at a three-day Aspen Institute conference billed as “A Celebration of Tibetan Culture.”
Good call McCain. Get you some of that free publicity.

I’m sure McCain won’t be singing Bomb bomb Iran; maybe he’ll sing Hello, Dalai?
