Pathological Liars

FactCheck.org sounds off on John McCain's most recent TV ad lie:

♦ "misleading" ♦
♦ "this ad is particularly egregious" ♦
♦ "goes down new paths of deception" ♦
♦ "carefully added language to alter the meaning" ♦
♦ "no one said anything close to that" ♦
♦ "takes words out of context" ♦
♦ "distorts" ♦

(h/t: Ben Smith)

Update and bump (1:20AM): Paul Krugman steps up to the plate with "Blizzard of Lies," a devastating indictment of McCain-land's deceptive campaign.
