(Note: A version of this story appeared on my blog, Rum, Romanism and Rebellion.)
I made the mistake of watching Verdict yesterday where they had a John McCain sycophant go on and on about how McCain stuck by his principles when he bucked his party on immigration. He and the host failed to note that he was lining up with the president and the business community on the issue (not exactly "bucking" the folks in charge), and when the heat came down he didn't even support his own bill that this guy was giving him credit for. But hey, he's a maverick, right?
Also, the guy noted that he has this great sense of humor. What?
