"Despite Assurances, McCain Wasn?t in a 'Cone of Silence.'"

Says the NYT. McCain wasn't enclosed in a soundproof room when Rick Warren began asking Obama the questions he would later ask McCain. He was on his way to the forum. So what does this mean?

If McCain was not held in an isolation chamber at Saddleback....
	McCain cheated.
	Don't you dare say anything like this about a man who was held in isolation in a cell in Vietnam.
	McCain a busy man, he was still en route, and he probably honorably declined to listen.
	The Obama campaign has started this meme to distract us from Obama's bad performance.
	Maybe McCain listened to the questions, but I don't care, it wouldn't have helped that much.
	We don't know if McCain "cheated," but the accusation of cheating is worse anyway, so Obama loses.
