Today we have another episode in the dementia that is John McCain. Remember the maverick? Well then you must be thinking of the wrong person, because John McCain says he never called himself a maverick.

For more than a decade, famed ‘Straight Talk Express’ rider John McCain has had ‘maverick’ as his and his supporters’ moniker of choice. And friends and foes alike have followed suit to such a degree that it can almost sound like an official title (‘maverick Sen. John McCain’). But running in a surprisingly contested Republican primary against a former member of Congress who says McCain is too moderate may be taking its toll.

Sen. McCain (R-AZ) now tells Newsweek that he was never a maverick.

“I never considered myself a maverick,” McCain said. “I consider myself a person who serves the people of Arizona to the best of his abilities.”

Does McCain really think such a flip-flop will win votes? Is he really that much of a dumb ass? If anything this ploy will cost him more votes. Of course that would be a good thing. We need to rid the Senate of the moron from Arizona.
