Political Irony

First, Arianna Huffington (in an interesting article about how McCain has dramatically changed) claimed that McCain told her at a LA dinner party that he did not vote for George W. Bush in the 2000 election.

Next, McCain denied that report, and claimed that he did indeed vote for Bush.

And now, two independent sources who were at the same dinner party as Huffington claim that McCain did indeed say that he did not back Bush in 2000.

Interestingly, McCain has never denied that he ever said those things at that dinner party 8 years ago. So, was he lying then to cozy up to celebrities at a dinner party or is he lying now?
