Good god, if they put 'maverick' in that article one more time, I'd have punched the screen.
How mavericky are you when you vote with the president over 90% of the time? Or violated your own law on campaign finance (the one that got you that mavericky reputation)?
McCain's POW schtick is now verging on Giuliani 'noun-verb-9/11' territory. Deft it is not.
And shouldn't someone who was tortured and has given lip service to being anti-torture, actually vote against the use of torture by US forces (McCain in fact voted for the Military Commissions Act, but not before making a song and dance about his principles first)?
There was a few good facts there wrapped up in a lot of nonsense. A poor article IMO.
