Well, Why Not Make A Democrat Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Then?
Sure wish we could have the pre-Keating Five McCain back:
Next thing you know he'll be sucking up to Hanoi Jane.
Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, delivered some bad news to Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist last night when he announced on MSNBC's "Hardball" that he would vote against the so-called "nuclear option" to end Democratic filibusters against President Bush's judicial nominees.
"Look, we won't always be in the majority," Mr. McCain told host Chris Matthews. "I say to my conservative friends, some day there will be a liberal Democrat president and a liberal Democrat Congress. Why? Because history shows it goes back and forth. I don't know if it's a hundred years from now, but it will happen. And do we want a bunch of liberal judges approved by the Senate of the United States with 51 votes if the Democrats are in the majority?"
Next thing you know he'll be sucking up to Hanoi Jane.

I don't know if you've ever been to tenNapel's blog, but I bet you'd find him amusing. He thinks McCain shold "lose the skirt".
It's tough---John McCain showed extraordinary courage and honor while imprisoned in the infamous Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War, refusing a number of times to accept a North Vietnamese pardon (he was an admiral's son) and being tortured as a result. He is clearly not a coward.
Yet ever since the Keating Five scandal, where McCain was implicated in favor-peddling, he's been on a crusade to cultivate the MSM and thus has tacked leftward whenever the GOP really needed him, so much so that John Kerry seriously tried to make him his VP.
It's infuriating, and one wonders why a John McCain so willing to endure excruciating pain to keep faith with his fellow soldiers 30 years ago is unwilling to keep faith with his party brethren today.
Do you think it's possible he may try to run for president again? Maybe he feels he's more center than left and that would give him an edge against, say, Hillary? I think if anyone could whoop her butt, it'd be McCain.
