John, having a little trouble keeping your stories straight?

MADDOW: The McCain campaign is claiming that the Steeler story is an honest mistake. One of many, it would seem. So our choices here appear to be a) Sen. McCain’s memory is so bad that he can no longer be counted on to remember much of anything; or b) he will say pretty much anything to be President, even pander on the very issue that’s supposed to define him: the years he spent in a prisoner of war camp. Which one of those options is politically palatable here?

WOLFF: …What we’re seeing here might be a memory problem, I somehow doubt it. I think this is a… another sign of the exploitation of this compelling story, this compelling piece of John McCain’s life story. And the problem is that the more you repeat this stuff-and where you repeat it in error and in excess-the less powerful that becomes. I mean, the reason in 2000 his aides said he wasn’t trying to talk about his life story-even when he was—was because they knew that it was somehow precious and to be brought out when he really needed it. The problem about bringing it out every time is that it’s no longer powerful.

Maddow gets it, I have been saying it for weeks, when will the Main Stream Media start talking about it, the man is a liar or suffering from dementia, which is it?
