Arianna Huffington: Truth Alert: McCain's Freudian Slip is Showing (and Very Telling)
Appearing on the O'Reilly Factor yesterday, John McCain grabbed a shovel and dug himself deeper with yet another denial of having said he didn't vote for Bush, insisting: "I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004." But on the way to that unequivocal refutation, his unconscious mind jumped up, started waving its hands and yelled: "Not so fast!" O'REILLY: Did you vote for President Bush? McCAIN: Of course not. I campaigned all over this country for him. As dear old Dr. Freud would tell you, the unconscious is a powerful thing. And the new, do-and-say-anything- to-be-president McCain clearly couldn't keep the old, give-it-to-you-straight McCain -- and the truth -- from slipping out.
