I didn't mean to come down on you. The following is an example of a preening, frivolous man. Even his former allies can't take him any longer - he's out for himself: Mad at McCain Some House Republicans say they have had it with Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who made fun of the House for adjourning a day early while offices were tested for anthrax. "It will be a cold day in hell before I vote for anything he's sponsoring," Rep. Mike Simpson, Idaho Republican, told the Hill newspaper. "He has lost any credibility in the House that he ever had." Mr. McCain, in an appearance on the David Letterman show, ridiculed House members as "real profiles in courage" who headed "for the hills" while the Senate stayed in session. Even Rep. Peter T. King, a New York Republican who supported Mr. McCain's bid for the presidency last year, said he was "very disappointed" in his friend, reporter Betsy Rothstein writes. "I'm really disgusted with the Senate and John as an individual," Mr. King said. "It was a sorry time for the Senate. They showed themselves to be a bunch of pompous windbags." Rep. Ray LaHood, an Illinois Republican who has dedicated himself to promoting civility between Democrats and Republicans in the House, said: "These guys made a terrible mistake trying to thumb their nose at Speaker [J. Dennis] Hastert, who is probably the most decent politician on Capitol Hill. In the short term, it has broken down the collegiality that I'm sure existed before they started shooting their mouths off." Mr. LaHood added: "A lot of our members kind of wonder about John to begin with, and this holier-than-thou stuff, and the pompous way he tried to carry off McCain-Feingold [campaign finance reform]. To be honest, guys like McCain owe the speaker an apology." washtimes.com Add that to his support of the Dem plan to unionize and further ineffectualize airport security and the upside is that McCain is over as a national candidate and campaign finance "reform" as advanced by McCain and other Democrats, is dead. btw, the Senate, full of preening types, can't stand him either.
