I sometimes wonder whether my partisanship distorts my view of things. Yes, all politicians use selective information to make their case, take things out of context, exaggerate, and so on. And they distort their opponent's opinions and positions, something that's difficult to prove true or false.

But most--unless I'm more naive than I think--don't lie about matters of fact. And it seems to me that John McCain does. And he does it often. And he's taught Sarah Palin, who was emphatically FOR the bridge to nowhere, to do the same thing.

Now, however, McCain is lying about the big things. He told Dave Letterman that he had to cancel an appearance because of the economic crisis. And he lied--he was being interview by Katie Couric!

Call out the guards...
