Shut Up, Maverick

Why the hell don’t you just join the Democrat Party already, John?

In a surprising rebuke to the warriors who fought for him through tough times, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Sunday sided with President-elect Barack Obama and scolded the Republican National Committee for fanning the Illinois corruption scandal.

Let me get this straight: according to Maverick, the RNC is wrong for making a big deal out of allegations that the governor of Illinois was trying to sell Obama’s vacated Senate seat to the highest bidder? A mutant alien virus could turn every last registered Democrat into an army of flesh-eating cannibal zombies, and ol’ Maverick would still be rebuking the GOP for its concern.

McCain replied: “I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary.”

Um, hello? John? When has the Obama “campaign” (now the Orifice of the President-Elect) ever given out any information on its shady associations? They simply ignore such stories until they can’t any longer, then throw the offending pal under the bus, and let the media whitewash the whole thing by stenographing their absurd denials of wrongdoing (see Wright, Jeremiah and Ayers, William).

“You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody — right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy stimulus package, reforms that are necessary. And so, I don’t know all the details of the relationship between President-elect Obama’s campaign or his people and the governor of Illinois, but I have some confidence that all the information will come out. It always does, it seems to me.”

Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes it doesn’t come out. And often times when information of this kind does emerge it comes out in a way or at a time carefully constructed allow the individuals involved to evade any responsibility for it.

I don’t know what’s scarier – the fact that this country was gullible enough to fall for Obama’s empty political marketing and blind to his dangerous cult of personality, or the fact that a political Pollyanna like McCain was the best Presidential candidate the GOP could do this go-around.
