John McCain On Meet The Press

John McCain visited Tom Brokaw on Meet The Press this morning, a usually comfortable venue for the Arizona Senator.

Today, however, McCain looked tired and scatter-brained. He continually grasped for vernacular that should be well honed stump rhetoric at this point in the campaign. 

When the subject of Sarah Fargo came up, McCain repeated his drone about how "proud" he is of her. When McCain talks about Fargo it sounds as though he's referring to his daughter and not a potential Vice President. All he can say is that he's so damn proud.

McCain also reminded us he's a maverick. For a guy that is such a maverick though, he sure spends a heckuva lot of time telling he is one. 

The great irony of John McCain is that he now blames his campaign failures on the same media that adored him to such nauseatingly elite levels in the past, which garnered sheer disdain from fellow Republicans.

I understand though.

He's a maverick.
