But will anyone in the fawning mainstream press, with whom McCain has had a long-standing love affair, take this “maverick” to task for his McCarthy-like behavior?

The mainstream press won't but just wait until the 2008 primaries come around. Then Senator McCain will find out how much we dislike him. His chances of getting the Republican nomination is only slightly better than mine. Which is no chance at all.
