"A McCain-Palin ad has FactCheck.org calling Obama's attacks on Palin "absolutely false" and "misleading." That's what we said, but it wasn't about Obama.

"Our article criticized anonymous e-mail falsehoods and bogus claims about Palin posted around the Internet. We have no evidence that any of the claims we found to be false came from the Obama campaign.

"The McCain-Palin ad also twists a quote from a Wall Street Journal columnist. He said the Obama camp had sent a team to Alaska to "dig into her record and background." The ad quotes the WSJ as saying the team was sent to "dig dirt."

I am personally surprised at the disregard for truthfulness that John McCain has demonstrated lately. While I have disagreements with many of John McCain's views, I have, until now, thought of him as a man of some integrity.

It's disappointing, and a little disturbing, if this is an indication of what a McCain administration would be like. What happened to the old John McCain?
