Graham Follows in McCain’s Footsteps and Mavericks Him

In a stunning move, Senator Graham, the Official Maverick Housepet, came to a ‘compromise’ on drilling with four of his fellow Republican Senators and five Democrats.  In typical RINO fashion, the Democrats effectively get everything they want and political cover besides, while the few tokenistic provisions for drilling off of four states will be so buried in extra regulations, it will never happen.  In other words, a compromise truly worthy of the Master Maverick.

And just like the Master Maverick, the Official Maverick Housepet gets plenty of camera time while McCain’s fellow Democrats get to suppress laughter.  Furthermore, not only did Graham just take the teeth out of the only issue the Republicans had going for them, but he did one of two things to the Master Maverick as well:

1. He just ripped the legs out of the only issue McCain had going for him, effectively mavericking his own mentor, or
2. He did this with the prior approval of his owner, which means McCain is trying to neuter drilling while appearing to be a proponent of it.  If this is the case, of course he would send his well-trained Official Maverick Housepet to do it.

Still, don’t be afraid, fellow students of the Master Maverick!  This humble, if slightly overwhelmed, student of his maverick greatness is sure this is all part of some incomprehensibly brilliant plan to win the election by losing it.  Don’t ask me to try and explain, because I can’t.  I can’t think like McCain or his Official Maverick Housepet, because their thought processes are far above and beyond my comprehension.
