“A McCain-Palin ad has FactCheck.org calling Obama’s attacks on Palin “absolutely false” and “misleading.” That’s what we said, but it wasn’t about Obama.”

The McCain campaign is lying? Well I for one am shocked.

So now John McCain is lying about what independent watchdogs have said, or haven’t said, about Barack Obama. McCain just put out an ad claiming that FactCheck.org called Obama’s attacks on Palin “completely false”…”misleading.” Only problem? FactCheck.org said that quote about someone else, not Obama, and in fact, FactCheck.org says Obama’s criticisms of Palin have been accurate. So, John McCain lied, again, to the American people. (CBS caught McCain lying in the same ad about Katie Couric, claiming that she as well criticized Obama – she didn’t.) And he’s going to keep lying until the media stars asking him the larger questions, like what all these lies say about John McCain, the man he’s become, the loss of his maverick image, has McCain reached a point of utter desperation, has Karl Rove totally taken over McCain’s campaign, and is McCain any longer in charge of his campaign? We’ve all known John McCain for decades. So who is this guy running for president in his name? That’s the question the media should be asking. What happened to John McCain?

Well, he did if you believe McCain’s latest lie – that Obama’s use of the “lipstick on a pig” expression is now sexist – then when McCain used the same “lipstick on a pig” expression to deride Hillary Clinton’s proposals McCain was, under his own logic, calling Hillary Clinton a pig too.

I want to know when John McCain is going to apologize to the women of American for calling Hillary Clinton a pig. That’s the question every reporter needs to ask McCain now. Why did McCain call Hillary Clinton a pig.

Then again, John McCain is familiar with sexism. He once joked that Chelsea Clinton was “ugly.” (I guess kids aren’t so off-limits after all to McCain.) Then there’s the time that McCain joked about a woman being raped and enjoying it so much she wanted to be raped again. So yes, let’s have a debate about John McCain and sexism. I hope every reporter is going to be asking McCain about why sexist jokes about other people’s kids are okay, and why jokes about rape are okay. Since McCain is now so big on women.

Oh, one more thing. Can you still be America’s greatest defender of women if you cheat on your first wife and call your second wife the c-word?
