Would you believe Georgia?

No, not the one where they make Coca-Cola -- the one where the Russians continue to violate their agreement to withdraw.

It's not every aspiring First Lady whose comfort zone is a war zone, but such is the case for Cindy McCain, who left today on a mission to Georgia to assess the civilian casualties of the Russian invasion.

McCain is traveling with the U.N.'s World Food Programme, whose work she monitored in Southeast Asia and Africa this spring and summer. McCain plans to meet with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili and to visit wounded Georgian soldiers. She would also visit representatives of the HALO Trust, which works to remove land mines and on whose board she serves.

But this shouldn't be a surprise, given her long record of humanitarian work.

Contrast that with Michelle Obama's work dumping poor people from the hospital where she works -- and steering contracts to her husband's political allies.
