Listening while working, and other than Andrea M mentioning there may be some controversy around his vote last night, there has been absolutely ZERO mention af McCain voting yes on a bill that he said he wouldn't vote for in his EPIC MAVERICK speech.

You even see DUers believing he is a "maverick" and may do the right thing. Remember the time he called out that lady for saying Obama was a Muslim? Well I can find a dozen other instances during the 2008 election where he ignored racists statements from the crowd and hundreds where he allowed Sarah Palin to inflame crowds.
So he is not a grade A fucking asshole one time out of a hundred yet still somehow is seen as a straight shooter.
