Now John McCain, who turns 72 in a little more than a week, can't even remember what he and his campaign say day to day. No wonder the McCain campaign won't let McCain talk to the press any more. He doesn't seem quite all there any more. To wit: Today McCain is claiming that he didn't question Obama's patriotism. Really? What do you call it when you say he wants to lose a war because it will help him win an election? What do you call it when you say that Obama doesn't put his country first? When you say that Obama doesn't care about the troops? That's an attack on someone's patriotism. If we said those things about McCain, we'd hear all about how he was a tortured vet and we're attacking vets - so why when McCain says it about Obama are we supposed to shrug it off as nothing?
I'd say that McCain is lying, but as his spokeswoman explained to us the other day, John McCain is a former prisoner of war, and former prisoners of war are above reproach on everything (apparently she too is forgetting McCain's adultery and the Keating Five Scandal, among other ethical lapses). So, we'll take McCain at his word. He's not lying about his previous attacks on Obama. He simply no longer can remember anything that's happened more than a day before.
