Huff Puffery Poopery

The Huffington Post carries a piece by a Jeffrey Klein that purports to knock down John McCain’s military record, in service of Barack Obama’s campaign that his own clueless military-less experience is somehow adequate.

The Klein charge is that McCain’s record is embellished by a claim that McCain was recommended for an admiral’s star. However, it is not McCain who ever made this claim, but a former Secretary of the Navy. The former Secretary may or may not have faulty memory, and can quickly clear this up. But, for HuffPo to feature this as somehow delegitimizing McCain is absurd gutter journalism.

It’s what we’re becoming accustomed to in service of self-haloed Obama.
