John McCain, in his interview with Charlie Gibson, hiding behind the words of yet another woman in order to advance his smears:
MCCAIN: Again, two things I’ve never been accused of lacking. And one is passion, and the other is courage. I mean, I can accept a lot of the other criticisms. It didn’t come up in the flow of the conversation. But it did come up, and I pointed out that he asked for $3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in his hometown of Chicago.
And coincidentally the guy who was the chairman of that organization pledged to raise $200,000 for his campaign. His record is replete of requests for pork barrel, unnecessary, wasteful spending. And I’ll let the American people make a judgment there.
GIBSON: Do you think the relationship with Ayers is a critical issue in this campaign or factor in this campaign?
MCCAIN: I think it’s a factor about Sen. Obama’s candor and truthfulness with the American people. That’s what I think it’s about. As I say, I don’t care about Mr. Ayers who on Sept. 11, 2001 said he wished he’d have bombed more. I don’t care about that. I care about him being truthful about his relationship with him. And Americans will care.
GIBSON: And you’re comfortable that this should be a focus in the last days of the campaign?
MCCAIN: I think it’s something that needs to be examined. Sen. Clinton said it should be examined during their primary and never was.
Yeah. It is the Cindy, Sarah, and Hillary show over at McCain HQ. A real profile in political courage, this McCain fellow.
