Thanks. You just described very well what it is that annoys people about McCain.
He's too buddy-buddy with his 'friends' in the Senate.
One gets the sense that he would fail in his duties as a Senator just for the opportunity to cover for his 'buds'. At least he fails his party when he emphasizes respect for Kerry/Edwards over informative discourse such their liberal voting record.
Senator McCain, the public has heard too many times how you 'respect your colleagues'. How about conveying some information and educating the public from the unique vantage point that you hold as Senator?
I do admit though that I like this characteristic about him when it comes to supporting the WOT.
That's a major part of the problem with the Senate.
I heard the reporting of the McCain comment today, and I was totally disgusted by that buddy-buddy atmosphere.
Call a crook a crook, a gigolo a gigolo, and clymer a clymer.
At this point, the Senate needs an enema. And yearly mental competency tests. And IRS audits.
Good for Ingraham to call McCain on "statement".
