Last week, McCain couldn’t remember how many homes he owns. Now, Think Progress points to a 2007 interview when he not only didn’t know how many homes he owns (in the interview, he was only willing to admit to two homes, when the real answer is at least seven), but amazingly he didn’t know what […]
Another fantastic video from Jed Lewison.
Some people have accused McCain of making up a story about a Vietnamese guard drawing a cross in the dirt (especially since McCain never told that story before he started this campaign), but we think that McCain is merely confusing that story with a similar one: © Tom Toles
He’s already used it for everything from justifying cheating on his first wife, defending his health care plan, even explaining his music tastes. Heck, when McCain was accused of not being in a “cone of silence” as promised before his interview at the Saddleback Church, his campaign’s response was “The insinuation from the Obama campaign that […]

According to the Wall Street Journal, US and Iraqi negotiators agreed today to a timetable for the withdrawal of US troops, and Bush is expected to accept the agreement. Isn’t this exactly what Obama has been calling for and McCain has said is “surrender”? Is there a pattern here? © Lee Camp from 23/6
From an AP article about McCain’s VP possibilities (since corrected): His top contenders are said to include Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Less traditional choices mentioned include former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, an abortion-rights supporter, and Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential prick in 2000 who now is […]
In the 2004 presidential race, the Bush campaign and right-wing pundits jumped all over the fact that Kerry had married an heiress (his second wife), and that they had a (gasp) prenuptial agreement: “If his own wife doesn’t trust him with her money, why should we trust him with ours? Teresa Heinz Kerry is not […]
In this CNN report on McCain, McCain defends his role in the Keating Five scandal by quoting special investigator Bob Bennett. However, he fails to point out that McCain hired Bennett as his lawyer after Bennett made those remarks. That’s one hell of a revolving door — hiring the prosecutor who was supposedly investigating you. From the […]
An ironic thing about McCain talking so much about how he was tortured as a POW during the Vietnam War, is that we have learned all the techniques that were used against him. As Andrew Sullivan brilliantly points out, the techniques we called torture when they were used against McCain 40 years ago are no […]
Watch this video from 2001, where McCain says that if he had been elected president in 2000 that he would have picked Cheney to be his VP and Rumsfeld to be his Secretary of Defense. He also calls them the “strongest” national security team the US has ever had. From the Jed Report.
And neither does his campaign staff. In an interview Wednesday, McCain was asked how many houses he and his wife own. His response: I think — I’ll have my staff get to you. Well, according to his staff, they own “at least four.” At least? How could someone not know how many homes they own? How […]
A week ago, NPR did a story on Cindy McCain, describing her as the only child of wealthy Arizona businessman Jim Hensley. No big surprise, as the same thing has been said of her by other media, including ABC, Newsweek, and The New York Times. Cindy herself routinely describes herself as an “only child”, as […]
