I used to dislike John McCain, but now I pretty much hate the guy. He filibusters Chuck Hagel, calls him unqualified, says he’s the most unimpressive nominee in all of recorded history, and then says he’s still a friend. Well, friendship is a two-way street. It’s clear that McCain doesn’t understand how friendship works.
I also don’t believe that he filibustered his “friend” for the giggles. He says that Hagel will be confirmed and that he will drop his support for the filibuster when the Senate reconvenes. That may be, but McCain is still trying to destroy Hagel in the meantime.
