Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post: "At a dinner party in Los Angeles not long after the 2000 election, I was talking to a man and his wife, both prominent Republicans. The conversation soon turned to the new president. 'I didn't vote for George Bush' the man confessed. 'I didn't either,' his wife added. Their names: John and Cindy McCain (Cindy told me she had cast a write-in vote for her husband)."

Update — McCain aide Mark Salter: "Why would she make something up? Because she's a flake, and a poser, and an attention seeking diva. And that's on the record."

» May 2: Deleted.

» ABC Update — 1:43 p.m.: "I posted the above yesterday but had the post taken down amidst some debate over its authenticity.

(Taking it down is pretty S.O.P. -- if I'm traveling and a credible person tells me something on the blog is wrong, and I am not sure what is accurate, I will take down the blog post until I'm in front of a computer and can verify it one way or another.)"
