The gaffe that keeps on gaffeing

John Bush McCain is doubling down on his false claim that troop levels "have drawn down to pre-surge levels" and it's not going well.

He started out the day earning 2 Pinocchios from the WaPo fact checker. After his campaign's silly complaint that reporters were "trying to nitpick the tense of the verb", he has now earned 3 Pinocchios. Do we hear 4?
