and speaking of contradictions...

More on Bill Cunningham, the guy who was introducing McCain and called Obama "Hussein" and then said Madeleine Albright was ugly. The guy who McCain says he never even met before. Well, a reliable source tells me that Bill Cunningham has had several invitations to McCain events at which he has met with McCain for relatively brief periods, and that McCain has been on Cunningham's radio show twice - once from the Capitol itself in 1995. Doesn't sound like John McCain has never even heard of this guy before.

McCain did finally release a sort of wishy washy statement saying that he may have met him before.

From the LA Times yesterday:

 Quote:
Some members of the audience laughed, cheered and applauded during Cunningham's remarks; others said they were embarrassed by them.

Speaking to reporters after the rally, McCain apologized for the remarks and said he took "full responsibility."....

Beverly Weeks, a 59-year-old nurse who identified herself as an independent, said she was "mortified" by Cunningham's remarks. "There were people around me . . . who were embarrassed, and some were even saying they wanted to get up and leave."


It was just last week that McCain lied to the media about never having met a lobbyist involved in last week's scandal (he had met with the lobbyist, and admitted it under oath in 2002). Now he's lying about this controversy as well. Or he's telling the truth, he actually thinks he didn't meet all these different people because the 71 year old McCain no longer has all his faculties? I doubt that.

As with his stance now on Iraq, it's sort of preposterous that he has to wade in the far right wing slime considering he's running against a guy with across the board appeal and people who reject that sort of politicking. But having to appease people who think Limbaugh, Cunningham, Hannity etc. etc are the voice of conservative politics and not the voice of slimy crap is IMO a weakness. Crap and pro-Iraq War talk may energize the fringe right but it sure turns off everyone else.

Good.

McCain's "Bad Memory"


But this story was small potatoes to the swift and immediate ass kicking Obama gave McCain when McCain tried to lecture him on Al queda in Iraq. THAT is how you deal with misinformation!
