McCain on The View, No Really

Updated Below, Update II

You'll have to see it to believe it, and I wish it were a longer clip, but take a gander at John McCain lying to the ladies on The View and getting called on (at least a lot of it) by Barbra Walters and company. If only so called news reporters will follow suit.



Update:
So there is more footage from The View this morning (still I want to see more). Here's McCain claiming that no one can name an issue on which he's changed or flip-flopped, to use the parlance of our times.



And conveniently both Think Progress and Steve Benen (while at Carpet-Bagger) have previously compiled just such a list. Benen does a better job of demonstrating changes of position while TP has a lot of just straight up lies as well.

Highlights include: Taxes, Torture, Diplomatic Relations, Social Security, Immigration, Energy, and Lobbying and Campaign Finance Reform.

Benen's list is currently at 76 and TP (by quick count) is at 42. Ouch!

Update II:
You can currently watch McCain getting grilled on The View on it's website. The video is in six parts which means watching some brief ads. The whole thing is fairly cringe inducing, and they really don't let him get away with much, Joy Behar even points out that McCain's recent ads are lies.
