Kind of amazing, really. McCain is politically dead and yet 1 million Twitter subscribers seem to think he’s Abraham Lincoln pontificating in 40 characters or less.

Yeah, 10,000 of his media buddies, 200,000 of his democrat friends, 200,000 RINOS and 590,000 irate conservatives bent on keeping track of him to minimize further damage.

"It has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my long political career..."What were the other ones, and how many of them involved you attacking conservatives?

The old fart is proud he can tweet. Only young farts tweet. Old farts are more in the baritone range.

It’s cuz lots of us want to know how a dhimmicrat-repulsican thinks.
Gads, I despise that guy.
To: rabscuttle385
I stopped following him - his tweets are boring and usually off topic at the time. Like I care that he’s having coffee with Sen. XYZ while Obama is burning the house down.
To: rabscuttle385
Its an easy way for democrats to support someone they won’t vote for and it doesn’t cost them a dime.
