Clinton vs. McCain, Part Deux

Maureen Dowd's latest column had the following remark in which McCain was described as “looking similar to the way he (McCain) did on those captive tapes from Hanoi, where he recited the names of his crew mates.”
This naturally drew a response, which I particularily like from McCain advisor John Weaver:"I never expected the Clintons or their allies to know much about Vietnam. But [it] is disappointing to see one of her spokespeople purposefully lie about John's war record and time in a Hanoi prison camp. There was no such tape recording; though he did once give up the starting lineup of the Green Bay Packers while under extreme duress. Senator Clinton's spokesperson does a disservice to all who were there and served so bravely and honorably."
I couldn't have said it any better.
