If pundits want to note McCain's maverick moments, fine. He's had some. But it never ceases to amaze me (call me naïve) how this flattering label circulates uncorrected.

No, not my book, but a new video by Brave New Films that does in video form what I hope my book The Real McCain accomplishes in prose.

Over the past two days, two McCain aides have resigned because of their public relations work for the Burmese Junta. Turns out he has even more friends in low places.

McCain got a story killed in a large newspaper in the UK about my book. Here is an email from the reporter providing me with the details of his campaign's attack on my character.

"It was a mental health question. A guy who would call his wife a cunt in front of reporters is not only a jerk but dangerous. It's scary to think of a hothead like McCain having his finger on the trigger."

In case you missed McCain's position: Government healthcare is good enough to pay his hospital bills but it is not good enough for the rest of us -- oh and by the way, can you spare $1000 "my friends?"

I'll be waiting for the media to do their job and report on McCain's close association with a white supremacist, just as they have on every aspect of Barack Obama's life.

Okay, I get it. We let all Republicans and most Democrats off the hook because they will roll over for the companies that own the media and in McCain's case literally get blown by lobbyists, but come on! Are we not even remotely pretending anymore?

Do you agree with Pastor John Hagee that war with Iran is the fulfillment of biblical prophecy? What is your religion, and has the answer in the past changed as the South Carolina primary approached?

A woman who is a proven liar is calling me a liar. After much thoughtful consideration, I think I'll choose to believe...me.

This week, I had the opportunity to chat with a friend, author and blogger Cliff Schecter, about his new book, The Real McCain.

It's far from the first time the "maverick" has made himself into a liar, and today's opening statement to General Petraeus once again showed it won't be the last.

Just as you would have thought, you really can best a faux-cowboy who's about as popular as amoebic dysentery.

Brave New Films is declaring a War On Greed, and unlike the Bush administration, when we declare war on something, we actually plan and send the appropriate resources.
