Crooks & Liars has done a bang-up job detailing no less than 10 major flip flops on the part of one John McCain and his crack team of campaign strategists in the past three weeks.

Just like the YouTube video that surfaced not too long ago, when is the man going to learn that everything is scrutinized during a presidential campaign?  Everything.   It already has 2,000 Diggs at the time of this publishing.  It was at 900 earlier in the day.  Even Forbes takes a shot at Johnny.  Methinks it’s going to be a long campaign season.  Methinks the more McCain opens his mouth, the more he sticks his foot in it.

My personal favorite:

4. The Media’s Treatment of Hillary Clinton. No doubt, John McCain suffers from recurring bouts of selective amnesia. And some episodes take only days to manifest themselves. During his disastrous “green screen” speech on June 3, McCain reached out to Hillary Clinton’s supporters by proclaiming, “The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans, and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes received.” But by June 7, McCain denied to Newsweek that his media critique never passed his lips, “I did not–that was in prepared remarks, and I did not–I’m not in the business of commenting on the press and their coverage or not coverage.”

John Kerry, the man spanked silly by Karl Rove for being a flip-flopper in 2004, is getting in on the action, taking his old buddy to task for abandoning logic and his core principles in his latest energy policy declarations.  Even the Murdoch-owned Wall Street Journal jumps on board the procession, albeit in much lighter fashion (it’s a necessary flip-flop!).

For the record:  Here is a pretty solid breakdown of the actual impact drilling in the ANWR and offshore locations would have on the price of gas (hint:  next to nothing, apparently).  The main source of the article?  The current administration’s Department of Energy.
