Being a Maverick Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry


"You have sustained personal torture, personal attack, political attack, investigation," Gregory said. "You have never resigned from anything. Is it consistent with your qualities of leadership to resign an elected post like this?"

"Sure," the senator said.

"It is?"

(BTW, it would be so nice if our media superstars had just a hint of testicular fortitude)

Here's my thing: We know you're full of $#!t, you know you're full of $#!t. Why continue to bull$#!t us? Just offer the mea culpa and try to salvage your legacy just a bit. We know you have to be steaming on the inside that this woman has cemented you as a politician with the worst judgment in history. Why is it so hard to say: "You know what? I messed up. She was totally unqualified and I took a gamble that was wholly inappropriate. I'm sorry." Why, John? Is there a 'mercy rule' we can invoke for the GOP? The slide towards irrelevancy continues unabated.

Worst. Ad. Ever.



I thought this was a joke, but this is a real John McCain ad. This is complete bush league. Totally ineffective. "Yeah, you're like the most popular human on the planet, and people are really drawn to you and you've inspired people across the globe, but...um, are you really ready for a job that requires people to put their utmost faith and confidence in you?" Epic Fail. I half expect John McCain to blurt out: "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!!!"
