Arianna Huffington mentioned last night that John McCain and his wife confessed to her at the time, that neither had voted for Bush in 2000. The original article is a deft recounting of the myriad reasons why McCain the Maverick that many fell in like with is not the person running today.
Things quickly more interesting in the updates where Arianna tackles McCain's denial of the story by recounting his fast and furious history of false denials:
Through a spokesperson with the colorful name Tucker Bounds, McCain has denied telling me he didn't vote for Bush in 2000. "It's not true," Bounds told the Washington Post, "and I ask you to consider the source."
My sentiments exactly -- because John McCain has a long history of issuing heartfelt denials of things that were actually true.
