John McCain faces lawsuit for use of the word Ma*eick
This story is too funny.

James Garner, who played the original <em>Maverick</em> - Bret - on TV, has filed a restraining order on behalf of Jack Kelly (Bart) , Roger Moore (Beau) and Robert Colbert (Brent), demanding that John McCain and Sarah Palin cease and desist referring to themselves as Maverick or Mavericks.

1. I think that is great.
I also heard an interview with the great grandson of the real-life Maverick and he was saddened by the coinage of the term.

2. Oh god. People are going to believe this is true, aren't they.
The gullibility factor on DU seems to have reached an all time high.
