What He Said Then... and What He Says Now

Maybe he just has a faulty memory. Or maybe he is blissfully unaware that everything a public figure says these days is recorded for all time and is instantly available on YouTube. Or maybe it's just one more example of Republican John McCain's cynical disdain for American voters. 

Here's McCain in one of the Republican Presidential debates, disparaging fellow Republicans Rudi Giuliani and Mitt Romney for their experiences as mayor and governor, respectively.

Now, of course, Republican McCain is touting Republican VP candidate Palin's brief experience as a mayor of a very small town, and her far briefer time as governor of a small (population-wise) state, as qualifying her to be President.  So which is it, Mr. McCain?  What you said then... or what you are saying now?
