Taegan Goddard for the WIN!

When Sen. Al Franken objected to Sen. Joe Lieberman’s request for additional time, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that in his 20-plus years in the Senate he had never heard a senator do that before.

However, a Political Wire reader sends this excerpt from the Congressional Record from October 10, 2002:

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator’s time has expired.

Mr. DAYTON. I ask for unanimous consent that I have 30 seconds more to finish my remarks.

Mr. McCAIN. I object.

Oops … Well, it’s not so bad. McCain forgets a lot of stuff when he’s caught red handed in a big, fat lie. Now, if he’d said “I don’t recall …” he’d have not looked like such a Republican lying bonehead.
