Thursday's Lie of the Day

Today's Lie is described by TPM as a "pre-emptive" lie. Today, after McCain called for the firing of SEC chairman Christopher Cox, the McCain campaign attacked Obama for planning to distort McCain's remarks. The irony is that the remarks were indeed distorted -- by the McCain campaign, in their statement attacking Obama. TPM's headline captures the surrealism of the attack, and of the McCain campaign in general:

McCain Campaign Falsely Attacks Obama For Something He Hasn't Said Yet

They're really taking this whole lying thing to new levels of insanity, aren't they?
