Interesting factoid: The "can't we get along with the Repigs crowd" William Cohen and Gary Hart...
...were best man and groomsman at McCain's second wedding?

Why am I not surprised?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain

In 1979, while attending a military reception in Hawaii, McCain met and fell in love with Cindy Lou Hensley, 17 years his junior, a teacher from Phoenix, Arizona who was the daughter of James Willis Hensley, a wealthy Anheuser-Busch distributor and wife Marguerite Smith. By now it was clear that McCain's naval career was stalled; he would never be promoted to admiral as his grandfather and father had been. McCain filed for and obtained an uncontested divorce from his wife Carol in Florida on April 2, 1980; he gave her a generous settlement, including houses in Virginia and Florida and financial support for her ongoing medical treatments, and they would remain on good terms. McCain and Hensley were married on May 17, 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona, with Senators William Cohen and Gary Hart as best man and groomsman. McCain's children felt upset with him and did not attend the wedding, but after several years they reconciled with him and Cindy.

1. Bill Cohen used to be the GOP senator from ME, so that is not surprising at all.
I guess Hart's connection is that he was a fellow Horn Dog.

2. Can't we get along? My answer...
Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Tom Delay, etc. The Republican Party is made up of the people my mother wouldn't let me play with when I was little.
