Now the wife's part of the act

Now Cindy McCain is started to lay into Obama over his "vote against the troops." I watched a clip this morning where she stood there, right next to her husband, attacking Obama's one vote against Iraq war funding. Obviously, she knows that her husband also cast one vote against war funding (Obama because the measure he opposed did not include a timetable for withdrawal, McCain because it did).

I mean, how can someone stand up there and say that, throwing thunderbolts of moral indignation, while knowing that her husband also cast such a vote? Amazing. Media Matters has the scoop on how some MSM outlets are, surprise, surprise, reporting her remarks while failing to mention hubby's vote.
