McCain Gets an Earful on 'The View'

By Robert Barnes and Michael D. Shear
Washington Post First

Republican presidential nominee John McCain told the hosts of ABC's "The
View" today that his running mate Sarah Palin had never sought earmarks
from Congress while she was governor of Alaska, even though she had in
fact asked for about $200 million for projects in her state and employed
a lobbyist to help.

McCain at times faces tough questioning and commentary from the five
female hosts of the popular morning show, with Joy Behar questioning two
ads he is running against Democratic rival Barack Obama.

"We know that those two ads are untrue,'' Behar said. "They are lies.''
She was referring to two heavily criticized McCain ads, one that
criticizes Obama's support of sex education, and another that says he
was being disrespectful of Palin for his comment that McCain's call for
change was like putting lipstick on a pig.

McCain said they "are not lies" and defended them.

Barbara Walters jumped in to note that McCain had made the lipstick on a
pig comment, too, about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's health care proposal.

"About health care," McCain said, referring to his own comments. "He
(Obama) chooses his words very carefully. He shouldn't have said it."

McCain has portrayed Palin as a reformer unwilling to accept pork from
Washington.

But Walters and Behar pressed.

"She also took some earmarks,'' Walters said.

"A lot," Behar added.

The girls also asked how many houses the McCain's own. The McCains
nevered answered the question. Cindy, under the influence of sedatives
and something else, said she is fortunate for her father and tries to
help those less fortunate, although she only gave less than 1% to
charity and spent over $200,000 on cosmedic surgery last year
(according the Enquirer).

$200,000 on cosmetic surgery? Hehehe.
