How do we know John McCain Did Best at Saddleback? The Media is Pushing the "McCain Cheated" Theory for Obama
—

And we all know what that means. Hey, that's not in the playbook! And gee, aren't those liberals just so meaaaaan for implying that Honorable John McCain, the Man With More Honor Than Anyone Evah!!!, might have ...
