I Hate What You Just Said

John McCain’s recent attack on Barack Obama just got shot down:

In a statement criticizing Obama’s positions on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, the organization claiming credit for the missile launches, McCain wrote, “This is the same organization that I voted to condemn as a terrorist organization when an amendment was on the floor of the United States Senate. Senator Obama refused to vote.”

The problem with the critique? McCain also missed that vote on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment on September 26, 2007. Records show that Obama was in New Hampshire and McCain was in New York instead of being in the Senate chamber for the vote in question.

And this line of attack is not really the best idea for McCain since he’s the most MIA senator in the entire 110th Congress, missing more than 60 percent of the votes cast.
