'Maverick' My Ass

Y'know, I could care less about whether or not Mad Jack's been fucking some bleached blond power-hungry anorexic tart who hasn't had a stroke. It ain't my business, though there's much irony in the idea that the best buddy of the sack of shit that is Joe Lieberman (I-Lieberman) likes to get his end wet with someone other than his wife.

No, the real story to this whole thing is how it may finally puncture the absurd fallacy that Mad Jack is some kind of honest agent fighting alone against the incestuous power brokers of Washington; that he's uniquely above the fray and selflessly willing to take on the "special interests" that corrupt all others, no matter what the cost to him, personally or politically.

Fuck that shit. John McCain is just another tired old hack who not only hears voices in his head late at night when nobody's around - he actually listens to them.

"I have no idea whether the affair story is true or not, and I don't care. What I do care about is John McCain -- and this has been well-documented -- is talking all the time about being a reformer and a maverick, and in fact, he has taken thousands of dollars from corporations, ridden on their corporate jets, and then turned around and tried to do favors for them and get projects approved. He has tons of lobbyists on his staff. This is a guy who is very close to the lobbyist community, a guy who has been documented again and again by taking contributions and then doing favors for it. This is not a guy who is a reformer. This is a guy who has been in Washington for 25 years and wants to give us four more years of the same, and I don't think we need that." - Howard Dean

Reminder - Now we can call John McCain 'That cocksucker.'

Reminder #2 - Rightwingsparkle is still full of shit

Final word - Anybody who wants to follow the sordid mess that is Mad Jack, along with the futility of his pending useless nomination, would be well-served to turn to the dogged work of the peerless blogger, emptywheel. Any other source is just half-assed, at best.
