I wish I could claim this idea as my own, but I overheard someone saying it today and I thought it was too smart and too funny to not pass along.
The context is that John McCain's campaign is now going POW to defend their candidate against his own gaffe about not knowing how many homes he owns. Of course, McCain's POW status has absolutely nothing to do with what he'd do as president to help American families keep their own homes, but you had to expect that was how he'd try to explain himself. After all, it's pretty much his answer to every criticism.
And that brings me back to the question posed in the title of this post. Here's a hint. Remember what he said about Rudy Giuliani?
Update: Spencer Ackerman and John Aravosis both have more along these lines.
