again

misstatement after misstatement. or is it lie after lie. or is it we see what we WANT to see. and edit after edit. we're all human. we all make mistakes. no one is covering up or editing OUT barack obama's mistakes, misstatements or errors. they sure are trying with mccain.

as an aside....i was talking with my friend cathy yesterday (she moved back to joisey and is working at a hospital in philly. she's going to look for a job at a hospital here in late fall. i can't WAIT. anyway, we had lunch yesterday. she SQUEEZED me into her very tight schedule. she was here for a wedding. we were talking about the FRAUD that happened in the last presidential election AND the one before and we were both hoping it sure didn't happen in this one. she made a very good point though. how barack obama is MUCH MUCH MUCH STRONGER than kerry is/was. oh and one more thing, A GIANT SHOUT OUT TO THE WALLINGFORD FIREFIGHTERS)

Update: DNC slams McCain for calling Iraq 'first' post-9/11 conflict

Keeping up with John McCain's foreign policy gaffes is becoming a cottage industry these days, and a progressive radio host has caught another slip-up from the Republican presidential nominee talking about the war on terror.

And keeping those flubs away from viewers is occupying plenty of network news editors' time.

Young Turks host Cenk Uygur noticed that his confusion about the timeline of the "surge" in Iraq wasn't McCain's only gaffe in his interview with CBS news this week. McCain seemed to forget the war in Afghanistan preceded the invasion of Iraq; either that or he didn't think it was a major conflict.

"The fact is we had four years of failed policy. ... We were losing the war in Iraq. The consequences of failure. The defeat of the United States of America in the first major conflict since 9/11 would have had devastating impacts throughout the region and the world," McCain told CBS anchor Katie Couric.

"Was Afghanistan not major enough for him?" Uygur asks.

Like his previous flub, CBS edited this misstatement from its broadcast.........
