McCain on ABC: I never said nothing about no timetable. (Even though he said it the day before)

Wow.

One day after McCain said he thought sixteen months was a "pretty good timetable" for withdrawing from Iraq, McCain claimed he never said the word "timetable." Seriously, McCain said to Stephanopoulos "I didn’t use the word timetable." One day later.

Is he for real?



Think Progress has a longer video of the interview. Two things: 1) George Stephanopoulos really is intimidated by McCain; 2) McCain either thinks it doesn't matter what he says or doesn't remember what he says. Neither is good.
