                      I woke up the other morning (thank the Lord) and found $90 in my bank account. It was from Social Security. I can’t imagine what that was all about. I certainly did not ask for it. I heard Joe Biden effed up. Again.

                        A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
