The Gist

Does He Even Speak for Himself?

McCain is now saying that his top adviser wasn't speaking for him when he called us all "whiners," when in fact he was speaking to the newspaper on behalf of the campaign. Yesterday, when asked his thoughts on another adviser's comments on Viagra, birth control and medical insurance coverage, McCain could not give his own position himself, saying he'd have to get back to the reporter on it, presumably after checking with one of his advisers.

So who the hell does speak for him?
