John McCain – Political Whore



December 20, 2010

The Senate repealed DADT but failed to pass the Dream Act. The latter would have given children of illegal immigrants a path to citizenship by way of military service or completion of college. One of the loudest voices opposing both measures was John McCain. Here’s how Joe Klein describes the vermin.

McCain distinguished himself doubly this weekend, opposing the Dream Act and leading the opposition to “Don’t Ask,” despite the very public positions of his wife and daughter on the other side of the issue. I used to know a different John McCain, the guy who proposed comprehensive immigration reform with Ted Kennedy, the guy–a conservative, to be sure, but an honorable one–who refused to indulge in the hateful strictures of his party’s extremists. His public fall has been spectacular, a consequence of politics–he “needed” to be reelected–and personal pique. He’s a bitter man now, who can barely tolerate the fact that he lost to Barack Obama. But he lost for an obvious reason: his campaign proved him to be puerile and feckless, a politician who panicked when the heat was on during the financial collapse, a trigger-happy gambler who chose an incompetent for his vice president. He has made quite a show ever since of demonstrating his petulance and lack of grace.

Politics and whoring are synonymous in many ways and few politicians prove the point better than John McCain.
