McCain’s obscured ‘View’

Pam Spaulding of Pam’s House Blend alerted me to this bit of nuttiness, noted on The Huffington Post:

The ladies of “The View” confronted John McCain today for lying in recent attack ads, pressed him on abortion and questioned his choice of Sarah Palin.

In arguably his toughest interview yet, co-host Joy Behar asked McCain, “There are ads running from your campaign… Now we know that those two ads are untrue, they are lies. And yet, you at the end of it say you approve these messages. Do you really approve these?”

And the serious media — and latenight comedians — make fun of this show (That includes me, to be honest)? I’m hoping that Charles Gibson, Brian Williams and the rest were watching and take note.

Bravo to the hosts.
