McCain laughing about his lies
This is an old CNN interview with McCain about cheating on his wife.
At about 3:12 into this interview John McCain is responding to a question about being a 41 y/o married man lying about his age and marital status in the hopes of hooking up with a 24 y/o girl.
He says, "I lied." and starts laughing about it.
I think it might make an effective montage if someone with video editing capability would cut together some of McCain's better whoppers, each followed by 1.5 seconds of McCain laughing about his lying ways.
If McCain starts crying foul, and saying that clip isn't referring to his current lies, then we will be forced to ask which lie he is referring to.

While anyone with any artistic ability could do this a lot better than me, I would like to try. So if someone with the technical know how could point me toward the right tools (youtube capture and video editing), I'm willing to make a stab at it.

Actually somewhat unnecessary. There is plenty of film and video out there of McCain's contradictory statements. If shown side by side his own unedited words would make him look like the typical DC politician he really is. I can't seem to figure out if he's running with his party or against it - seems that he wants to have it both ways. He keeps talking about being a maverick yet his record doesn't bear this out.

He DOES want to have it both ways.
He *wants* to do the right thing, but he also needs the support of the administration that got us into this mess (war, debt, crime, etc), because without them he has no base.
