WILL THE MSM DARE TO PRINT THIS ABOUT McWAR?

Arianna Huffington has a great post that demonstrates what a spineless, amoral bastard McWAR really is. It's well past time to look at the man behind the media curtain.

What John McCain Told Me, and What it Says About How Far He's Fallen
Posted May 5, 2008 04:43 PM (EST)

Update: Through a spokesperson with the colorful name Tucker Bounds, McCain has denied telling me he didn't vote for Bush in 2000. "It's not true," Bounds told the Washington Post, "and I ask you to consider the source."

My sentiments exactly -- because John McCain has a long history of issuing heartfelt denials of things that were actually true.

- He denied ever talking with John Kerry about his leaving the GOP to be Kerry's '04 running mate -- then later admitted he had, insisting: "Everybody knows that I had a conversation."

- He denied admitting that he didn't know much about economics, even though he'd said exactly that to the Wall Street Journal. And the Boston Globe. And the Baltimore Sun.

- He denied ever having asked for a budget earmark for Arizona, even though he had. On the record.

- He denied that he'd ever had a meeting with comely lobbyist Vicki Iseman and her client Lowell Paxon, even though he had. And had admitted it in a legal deposition.

And those are just the outright denials. He's also repeatedly tried to spin away statements he regretted making (see: 100-year war, Iraq was a war for oil, etc.).
So, yes, by all means, "consider the source."
