I used to defend this guy, man was I wrong. He was ok as a president, but a feekless dolt thereafter. Ok, maybe a feckless dolt as a president. “Islam is a peaceful religion.” Who are you kidding George?

Many quotes are sometimes wrongly attributed to Cicero.
But, in fact, they come from a novel about Cicero by Taylor Caldwell,
and are not found in any of Cicero’s actual writings.

This particular quote is found in the novel by Taylor Caldwell
based on the life of Cicero, “A Pillar of Iron” (1965),
p. 661 in Open Road Media; Reprint edition (September 26, 2017).

This passage is also quoted in a speech given by Florida Governor and State Supreme Court Justice Millar F. Caldwell in 1965.
The paraphrase may ultimately be from the Second Catiline Oration
but drastically changes the rhetoric.
Actual example from Second Catiline Oration:
“But why are we speaking so long about one enemy;
and about that enemy who now avows that he is one;
and whom I now do not fear, because, as I have always wished,
a wall is between us; and are saying nothing about those who dissemble,
who remain at Rome, who are among us?”

Best "accolade" for McCain from my local newspaper online reader forum:

What a terrible week. First the Queen of Soul, and now the Songbird of Hanoi.

These people are merciless. LOL.

"Haven’t heard the funeral plans. "

Don't you remember? He asked Obama to give his eulogy.

[Bommer]

My God these people are so full of shit! Truth has no meaning to real people of valor and courage.

[pke]

Said the deep state idiot about the deep state prick.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

It still fits. Put whatever name you want on it, or anonymous. Makes me no difference.

GWB ran a slimy campaign against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina Primary. Now he thinks his opinion matters.

I am sorry I voted for this mutt.

[867V309]

W, what an utter disappointment you’ve turned out to be.

boosche said before his 2000 presidential election "help is on the way."

we didn't know the help was for the clinton crime syndicate...

[bigbob]

Exactly right, and it was Bush’s favorite Turd Blossom, aka former Magnificient Bastard Karl Rove who did that. With Bush’s knowledge.

GWB ran a slimy campaign against McCain in the 2000 South Carolina Primary.

I disagree. I think McCain ran against Bush to push him more to the right.

[proust]

excellent memory. whew.

In 2000, he condemned the late Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson as “agents of intolerance.”
