JESUS! CAN McCAIN EVER STOP LYING?

McCain seems to make a habit of lying about his previous statements. In one of the GOP debates, he said he didn't know that much about economics but later denied that he said that. This lapse could be excused if we were talking about statements separated by years but in McCain's case, it's less than 12 months.

ThinkProgress catches McCain trying to lie again:

During a question-and-answer session with Walter Isaacson today, Sen. John McCain said Guantanamo Bay is “one of the nicest places in the world to live in.” Later in the interview, McCain was asked about the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Boumediene v. Bush declaring that Gitmo detainees have a right to challenge their detention in civilian court. McCain had previously derided that decision as “one of the worst decisions in the history of this country,” but today stepped back from that comment:

ISAACSON: But you called that the worst decision in history?

MCCAIN: No I didn’t. No, no– Sometimes I’m given to a little hyperbole.
