Hurrah! McCain is ready to start cooperating with his fellow Democrat Obama again, and the Washington Post is celebrating it!
Yes, the mavericky maverick is back. The Master Maverick had been opposing his fellow Democrats for so long, but now there are hints that he’s returned to form. Of course, he’s calling it “bipartisanship” and “reaching across the aisle” again, and he can get away with it because of that convenient “-R” after his name. Fortunately, you and I both know better, and with his invaluable help, those wonderful Democrats will get everything they want on everything they want.
Of course, this will entitle McCain to even more of his well-deserved puff press, which is the whole point. The mainstream media so loves it when he pokes his caucus and ordinary conservatives in the eyes. So what if he destroys the country in the process? Remember the biggest tenet of the maverick paradigm: “It’s all about me”. He’s apparently decided to return to form.
Celebrate, fellow students of the Master Maverick, and remember to give him all the maverick support you can in 2010.
