... it now and says he did vote for Bush. That makes him a liar. He either lied to Arianna (and actors Richard Schiff and Bradley Whitford back up Arianna’s version) back then or he’s lying now.

... too. The two more people? Brad Whitford, who played the role of Josh on "West Wing," and the great Richard Schiff, Toby on the same series (both deservedly Emmy-Award winners). Now, I was going to link to this item with a headline like "A chance to mention a TV show I enjoyed (and continue to, on DVD), and make a politician I don't like look bad in one post? Woo hoo!" But, something...

... the Times and the Post verified Huffington's account with West Wing stars Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff, both of whom were in attendance at Candace Bergen's Beverly Hills bash that night. What is beyond dispute, however, is McCain's past hatred for George W. Bush. As Time reported in March 2000, McCain then showed a visceral disgust towards Bush and his scorched earth campaign:...

Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor , McCain told O'Reilly, "I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004." But on the way to that...
