Amazing Free Pass On McCain Stealing Credit For The GI Bill He Opposed
Talk about shameless on the part of John McCain and Big Media. John McCain aggressively opposes the GI Bill. The GI Bill passes by a huge majority with McCain not even showing up to vote. Then, McCain hits the road claiming credit for the GI Bill that "we" passed. The only thing more outrageous is that Big Media is not saying squat. The only thing even more amazing than this is that no one on this board is really upset about this.

2. Only A Few Sites Are Picking This Up, WSJ Gives McCain Credit
Here are the only sites I have found calling McCain on this BS move. He should freakin apologize, and say that he was wrong in opposing the Bill or stop claiming credit, and stand by his initial opposition.

Here is the WSJ giving McCain credit for the compromise, while critizing the bill:

BTW The WSJ is now owned by News Corp, which also owns Fox News. Media Consolidation. Don't you love it?
