Flippity Flop

John McCain was for torture before he was against it. Go read the details here and don't fall for the B.S. he's spewing. Digby gets the quote of the day on the subject:

McCain talks beautifully about ending torture. You can see people tearing up in the audience. But he has consistently helped the Bush administration promulgate a legal basis for doing it and has taken more positions than Jenna Jameson. Evidently, we are supposed to forget about all that political, legal and rhetorical mumbo jumbo and trust President Straight Talk to do the right thing. It seems to me that's what got us into this mess in the first place.

And Chris Matthews, who is featured in the Digby post with McCain, is still an asshole.
