More memory lapses at the McCain campaign

The McCain campaign viciously attacked Obama today because Biden criticized McCain about offshore drilling, and he criticized McCain for having repeatedly questioned Obama's patriotism. The thrust of the McCain campaign attack? How dare Biden talk about McCain's position on offshore drilling on a day we're having a hurricane. I know, it's not quite clear why offshore drilling is off-limits on hurricane day. But regardless, the larger point McCain and company were trying to make is that on a day like this, no one should be casting stones - it's a day above politics (unless of course McCain is flying down to the hurricane zone for a photo op). But there's a problem. See, McCain's own spokesman, and surrogate/adviser Karl Rove, attacked Obama earlier today BEFORE Biden responded in kind.

No word on whether the McCain campaign is again having memory lapses or whether they're just awful liars. More on that soon, provided we don't discover that Sarah Palin is an alien.
