Will the McCain ban against Time's Joe Klein be lifted before October 31?

Settled as No

"“I’ve done nine presidential campaigns and this is the first time this has ever happened to me,” Klein said. “I was even allowed—I won’t say welcomed—on the Clinton plane in the summer of 1996 after I was revealed as the author of Primary Colors.”

“I rode with McCain during the primaries, but not since I asked him—at a June press conference—whether he really believed Ahmadinejad was the ‘leader’ of Iran, since he has no control over foreign policy or the nuclear program,” Klein continued. “That was when they suddenly told me that I hadn’t called in time to get secret service clearance. (I had called more than a day in advance.)"

I guess there is some meaining behind the term "Average Joe". Still this guy is a little foolish to expect to be allowed to travel with McCain after he insulted the man.

Yeah, these "too cute by half" types make up stuff and then believe it. Then they judge the "intelligence" of people by whether they believe their same delusions!
