Your Turn: McCain’s Stowaway

An informative shot, capturing the relatively anonymous news gatherers harvesting raw material straight from a news source. Of course this raw material must be shaped and packaged but in just a few hours those back-of-the-seat teevees will playing this newly gathered material.
Question: where in this cycle of gather and report does the would-be leader actually prepare his material? Because we expect the would-be leader to come up with some important answers to some pretty tough question. By tough questions, I don’t mean any questions posed by the relatively anonymous news gatherers pictured here or in any other shot of the campaign on the road. I mean the questions that hang unasked from every conversation about current events. Like where did we go wrong? How can we get back to where we once were?
I see neither those questions nor anything resembling any answer in the image above.

The exaggerated perspective, enhanced by the overhead lights, creates the impression that McCain is moving rapidly. The question, is he facing the front or the rear of the plane? The seat orientation suggests that as suspected, McCain is zooming in the same direction he would lead the country… backwards.

I wonder if this was the time McC dashed away from a reporter who asked a question about his temper? The woman seems to be shocked by his answer/action and the guy in foreground is trying to get the quote. McC, as has been noted, is famous for losing his temper when being questioned about something he considers taboo and stalking off. He knows this and on SNL yesterday, he capitalized on that by doing a bit on the “newsy” section of the program then abruptly getting up and walking off set.
I wonder how smart that is of him, since there are probably some out there (certainly not any of the republican press) who might misinterpret such dry humor for McC just forgetting what he was supposed to do and walking off.
