McQ find some general backing up of John McCain’s Vietnam cross story. Not to be outdone by Andrew Sullivan and Daily Kos, Matt Welch at Reason thinks the cross story is the least important story McCain might have made up.

If any of these stories is a lie, I hope it’s the ol’ cross-in-the-dirt number. I wouldn’t want to think that any American hero came home and announced to a deeply skeptical public a totally made-up story about how not one, but two different “generals” spelled out a Domino Theory that McCain himself would later recognize as being bogus.

This is of course, all silly distraction that bloggers and the media love to get wrapped up in to fill in the gaps in this year long election coverage we’ve had this cycle. There’s simply no way to prove that the story didn’t happen and lots of way for people to look silly obsessing over this non-story.
