West Wing Wince

We’re really enjoying this story. Not in a Jeremiah Wright/Bosnia kind of way, mind you, but just because it’s so darn silly:
Two Hollywood actors who dined with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in early 2001 at actress Candice Bergen’s home confirmed Thursday that he told the assembled group he did not vote for George W. Bush in the 2000 election.
In separate phone interviews, Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff — both of whom starred in the television political drama “The West Wing” — said the senator made the remarks after he spoke at length about his reservations about Bush becoming president. Liberal blogger Arianna Huffington first wrote about the incident Monday, asserting neither McCain nor his wife Cindy backed Bush in his first presidential bid, and the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that a woman who was also at the dinner confirmed Huffington’s account, though she declined to give her name.
If nothing else, the nonsense gives us a rare opportunity to point how how starved for entertainment the Russian Republic of Mordovia is, having once done this …

McCain’s not the only one; though, I doubt he voted for Pat Buchanan!
