Further Sullivan on Possible McCain Lies

There is no way to know for sure what happened between two people in a prison camp in an incident to which no one else was a witness more than a quarter century ago. And it's perfectly possible that all of it is true, if muddled. But when a candidate tells a story that doesn't really add up with his previous accounts, and when he runs a campaign ad based on that story whose imagery is closer to someone else's account than his own, when a life changing moment is forgotten for a quarter of a century until a critical campaign when an appeal to conservative Christians was vital, the question is worth fleshing out - and I will gladly air any evidence that emerges in McCain's defense.


I'm pretty much on the same page as Sullivan.

Its like these things with Hillary Clinton. Not a big deal in the abstract, but when you make yourself out to be a "straight talker" and it seems that you are more of a B.S. artist, then there seems to be a problem.
