John WHO?

mccain emerges from hiding...

This morning on CNN, host Kiran Chetry suggest to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that he’s been unfairly “painted as being a huge supporter of the president’s Iraq strategy. Is that an accurate portrayal?” she asked.

McCain responded that “life isn’t fair” because, in reality, he’s been “the greatest critic of the initial four years” of war:

It’s entertaining, in that I was the greatest critic of the initial four years, three and a half years. I came back from my first trip to Iraq and said, This is going to fail. We’ve got to change the strategy to the one we’re using now. But life isn’t fair.

as commenter #1 on think progress observed: "John Who???"

yeah, i've been wondering the same thing myself... until this, it seemed like mr. straight-talk express had dropped off the map... glad to see he's still got faith in the karl rove playbook, where rule #1 is "when caught in a trap of your own making, lie your way out of it..." actually, the subtitle of that rule is "the 'who's crazy, you or me?' tactic..."
