CBS News’ Allison O’Keefe is clearly an Obama supporter. Her latest effort is a hard hitting expose on the leather seats in Barack Obama’s campaign plane. No, really:

Obama’s section of the plane rivals that of any first class. Recently the front cabin of the Boeing 757 was retrofitted to install four individual chairs that resemble La-Z-Boys. They are free-standing and made of plush leather with pockets on the sides. There is also a booth which seats four for a meeting or a meal.

His chair has his name and campaign logo embroidered on the back top — “Obama ‘08” on one line and “President” underneath. To one side is a small table stacked with newspapers ready for the candidate’s arrival. The table of the booth is always covered in snacks and cheese and is where Obama spends most of his time during flights meeting with staff and sitting for the occasional interview.

I have to wonder if she got any drool on those seats or if she was only allowed in the inner sanctum long enough to snap a photo.

Oh, she covered McCain’s plane also. Seems unbiased to me:

In McCain’s spacious first class area, there are 12 plush leather seats for the candidate, his wife and senior staffers. The “straight talk” area features a long leather bench and another first class seat which McCain sits in when he talks to the press – or would, if he used the area.

Since they acquired the plane with its specially modified area, McCain has spoken to the press there precisely once, over a month ago.

In summary, I bring you the first comment I read after this fluff:

”O-Force One”??? Oh PAHLEEEEZE. Can these sycophants in the LAMEstream media get any farther up this guy’’s arse?

Now that would be a great story.

By the way, this isn’t the first time Barack’s jet has been referred to as “O Force One.” Newsbusters reports on the Chicago Sun-Times’ use of it here.
