Or at least a mischaracterizer, distorter, or teller of half-truths. It’s hard to say. Captain Ed says the Kerry campaign issued a press release that attacked McCain’s convention speech as part of a list of convention lies, mischaracterizations, etc. One of Captain Ed’s commenters notes that the release has disappeared from Kerry’s website, but that it is still listed among the campaign’s September press releases. Since that comment was posted, it has been removed from the list, too. Not a trace seems to be left.
