Joe Klein’s column in Time this week skips past the usual softballs. Part of the story:
Usually when a candidate tells something less than the truth, we mince words. We use euphemisms like mendacity and inaccuracy … or, as the Associated Press put it, “McCain’s claims skirt facts.” But increasing numbers of otherwise sober observers, even such august institutions as the New York Times editorial board, are calling John McCain a liar.

i’ve got a subscription, and i read that same article. very scary stuff, especially for a young guy like me.
our generation has always been told that we should question everything that’s being told to us, but it was never really evident that people would flat-out lie to us and play like we wouldn’t know any better. or was it?
