re: #82 piratedan

it is what is so maddening about him, every once in a while, he says something that actually makes you think that there is still some humanity in him. Does it excuse him being a media pandering asshat the other 93% of the time, no. At least with maverick, he forces you to make the saving throw.

Don’t give him too much credit for humanity. The next statement in that article was:

McCain said he didn’t plan to speak to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer about the execution, calling it a “state issue.”

So it’s still his usual pandering lip-service.

And he was so upset about the botched execution that he went on Greta Van Susteren’s show to complain about Obama:

“The self-pity that Obama continues to exhibit is really kind of sad, really,” McCain said on Wednesday during Fox News’ “On the Record with Greta Van Susteren.”

“You know, I can’t work with him at all,” McCain said. “When is the last time he really called leaders of both parties together over at the White House, say, for a dinner, a social event.”

(Obviously forgot that SuperBowl invitation in 2009 that Mr. Maverick turned down.)

Once a whiny, pandering asshole, always a whiny pandering asshole. (For the record—I have NEVER been a McCain fan. Could you tell?)
