Would <u>that</u> put what Mrs. McCain was saying in context? For some readers, it's a plain ole yep!; but, for others, it'll be nope, nuh-uh, no-way never-never, no, I <u>know</u> she's lying!

Um, you do understand what we're saying here, don't you, Patricia? She really isn't his only child. Really she isn't. It doesn't matter what context she (or you) put it in. Saying you're a someone's only child when you're not is a lie.
She is lying. She is not his only child. She has two half sisters. One of which belongs to her father. That means her father had TWO children - not one. Not just her. Another one, too. When there are two of something one of them is not an only.
