Author, Blogger Arianna Huffington on How John McCain Has Changed Since Telling Her He Didn't Vote for Bush in 2000

by via Democracy Now
Friday, May 9, 2008 :Blogger, author and nationally syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington revealed this week that Senator John McCain had told her eight years ago that he did not vote for President Bush in the 2000 election. McCain has angrily denied the claim. Huffington joins us to talk about her disillusionment with McCain, whom she says has abandoned his principles in his quest for the Republican nomination. Huffington is author of the new book, "Right is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe ? and What you Need to Know to End the Madness."
As the race for the White House continues, we spend the rest of the hour with the nationally syndicated columnist Arianna Huffington. She is the cofounder and editor in chief of “The Huffington Post” and the author of 12 books.

Huffington revealed Monday that Senator John McCain had told her at a dinner party eight years ago that he did not vote for Bush in the 2000 election. Today, however, the Arizona Senator and Presidential hopeful has almost wholly embraced the Bush doctrine. Huffington writes: “The John McCain the media fell in love with in 2000 isn’t on the ballot in 2008. But the mainstream media doesn’t seem to have noticed a change and have barely taken him to task.”

The hijacking of John McCain and the media’s failure to
report on what he now stands for is one of the many stories featured in Ariana Huffington’s latest book. It’s called “Right is Wrong: How the Lunatic Fringe Hijacked America, Shredded the Constitution, and Made Us All Less Safe – and What you Need to Know to End the Madness!”
