Thanks for correcting the info in this diary. We at the AFL-CIO have been out front for a couple months focusing on getting out the true info on McCain's record.
Check our website on McCain here: http://www.aflcio.org/...
We're updating the McCain "Briefing Book" on the site to include his latest outrages.
Please feel free to contact us at blognews@aflcio.org to check on any info before going public so that there's no confusion about what we're doing.

This is a massive, irresponsible, and pathetic screwup by whoever "reported" this story. How many people involved in this story could have said, "Hmmm, this doesn't sound right -- maybe I'll just check the AFL-CIO's website to see what's going on" before it got on the air? The AFL-CIO (as you know!) has a big anti-McCain pic and link on their front page.
Or someone could have, you know, called the AFL-CIO and done some actual reporting ahead of time.
So hopefully the AFL can extract some groveling apologies from whatever dingbat allowed this to go on the air, and get some extra free media out of the deal.
