According to McCain, as he was working his way through scowls, mutterings, facial tics and whatever else ails him, on the eve of the Normandy invasion Eisenhower---planning for as many contingencies as he could think of---wrote "a letter of resignation from the United States Army for the failure of the landings at Normandy."
This is simply not true.
Eisenhower did write a worst-case letter, one that was to be released had the invasion failed. It was not, however, a letter of resignation. There's not one word about resignation in that document. He did, however, take full personal responsibility for the catastrophe.
If oaks grow from acorns, large lies are birthed from the small lies that a man like McCain tells on a regular basis.
From that, McCain lurched on to say, "I called for the resignation of the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission."
This is simply not true. McCain didn't call for SEC chairman Christopher Cox's resignation. What McCain said was, "If I were president today, I would fire him."
More acorns, more oaks; small lies becoming greater deceptions.
Is this man even capable of telling the truth?
Throughout the sorry spectacle, as he scowled and growled, grimaced and groaned, this sorry excuse for a presidential nominee by a major political party acted as if he dind't know the cameras were on him.
And this is the man the GOP wants to saddle us with as POTUS for however long he survives before Palin takes over at the helm?
