Straight (into the shitter) Talk

McCain, June 2008:

"Senator Obama says that I’m running for [President George W.] Bush's third term, it seems like Barack Obama is running for Jimmy Carter’s second."

Straight-Bullshitter in May 1999:

McCain was asked to opine on the recent occupants of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In his written reply, McCain described Carter as having had "the greatest, the noblest and loftiest intentions of any president, but he never really understood how to use the institution to obtain his goals." In his brief response to the question, McCain also said that while the Iranian hostage crisis "brought him down and conveyed to the people he was a weak president. Whether he was or not, that's [debatable]."

And that's not all:

Sandler describes Wright as one in a line of problematic Obama associates. He pointed to Obama's association with former Carter administration National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who has long been viewed with suspicion by some backers of Israel.

Except for what John McCain has said in the past, say January 2000:

"I am honored that Zbigniew Brzezinski will join my foreign policy team," McCain said at that time. "As a former national security adviser and a highly respected foreign policy expert, his broad experience makes him an invaluable asset to my team." In describing his key advisers, McCain continued: "I am very honored to have the support and advice of these recognized experts whose years of service to our nation and experience in international affairs have earned them the well-deserved respect of all."
