Isolation

So, I have yet to watch the Rick Warren forum, in which both Barack Obama and John McCain answered a series of questions (exactly the same questions to each candidate) from the California religious leader. Apparently, though, the audience was told several times by Warren that, while Obama was answering his set of questions, McCain was back stage, in isolation, unable to listen to the exchange. You see, that would make the playing field even.

Turns out Warren was lying. McCain was in his car during most of the Obama exchange, but swears he wasn't listening to the event. Various blogs report that McCain was too quick to answer the first question (ie: he had his answer prepped and "ret ta go"), which makes McCain's insistence that he didn't listen to the Obama segment rather dubious.

Do you believe him?

I sure as hell don't.
