McCain Not in Church’s ‘Cone of Silence’ During Obama Q&A

A mini-kerfuffle has erupted over the fact that John McCain did not wait his turn in the Saddleback Church's "cone of silence," the soundproofed space backstage at the California church where he was to have waited while Barack Obama answered the Rev. Rick Warren's questions during Saturday's Q&A session. According to Warren, McCain was in a Secret Service motorcade, not at the church, during most of his rival's turn on the hot seat.
