McCain Caught Lying: 'Didn't Vote for Bush'

Arianna Huffington has been vindicated. Last week on her site, she recounted how--at a Hollywood dinner party at the home of Candice Bergen--John McCain and his wife Cindy boasted that they hadn't voted for George W. Bush back in 2000.

McCain denied Arianna's account via a spokesperson, who said, "consider the source." Well, The New York Times and The Washington Post went out and found a couple of sources of their own--People who were also sitting near the McCains, and heard the remarks.

From the Post:

In separate phone interviews, Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff--both of whom starred in the television political drama "The West Wing"--said the senator made the remarks after he spoke at length about his reservations about Bush becoming president.

Now that is rich. The McCains rubbing elbows with the Hollywood elite, and holding forth on their dislike of Bush. There's a little "red-meat" for conservatives to chew on.

I guess we should all consider the source whenever McCain fires up the Straight-Talk Express.
