Paul Krugman amazed at John McCain’s bizarre fabrications.
Does McCain just not know what he’s talking about, or is he purposefully lying?
And again I say, there’s no difference between this McCain and old McCain. Being a maverick always meant he just did his own thing without regard to consistency, party or fair play. He is and always has been an “it’s all about me” ass.
