Feisty ladies of The View grill McCain on campaign claims

(and believe me, i didn't chose the story title. it's rather offensive to me. 'feisty ladies'????????????)
David Edwards and Diane Sweet
Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain faced possibly his toughest media grilling of the campaign season by the hosts of ABC's The View yesterday, when he appeared accompanied by wife Cindy McCain.

McCain began explaining his choice of running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin by saying that she would help to reform Washington, specifically cited curbing federal spending for earmarks. When pressed about Palin's record of requesting and accepting such money for Alaska by host Barbara Walters, McCain ignored the record and said, "Not as governor she didn't."

The show's feisty female hosts took McCain to task regarding two recently debunked campaign ads attacking Senator Barack Obama, and erroneous claims that running mate Sarah Palin never sought money for lawmakers' pet projects as Alaska governor. Palin has sought nearly $200 million in earmarks this year alone.

Co-host Joy Behar asked McCain, "There are ads running from your campaign. Now we know that those two ads are untrue, they are lies. And yet, you say at the end of it say you approve these messages. Do you really approve these?"............
