The latest news out of Iran leaves me no choice but to move into the camp of John Bolton and John “Bomb-bomb-Iran” McCain, and urge immediate military action against this rogue regime before it is too late.
And this is not about their nuclear ambitions, but something much more frightening. In retrospect, the nuclear nonsense [...]

Back in 2008, when John McCain was running for President, he managed to set the all-time record for flip-flopping on previously held positions. He flip-flopped on absolutely everything under the sun. Steve Benen’s Official McCain Flip-Flops list had him at 76 significant flip-flops by October 2008.
It was the most abject and [...]

John McCain used to be widely regarded as a saint. That was a long time ago. These days he’s reduced to pimping the Republican Party’s most vile and unconscionable lies about healthcare reform.

Last Sunday, on ABC News‘ “This [...]

VAN SUSTEREN: Senator, the big talk in town today is CIA director Leon Panetta in The New Yorker says about Vice President Cheney that Vice President Cheney almost suggests he’s wishing that the country would be attacked again in order to make [...]

Arlen Specter apparently has no middle name. But he certainly deserves one. And judging by his performance on Howard Stern’s radio show yesterday, he seems to have earned one.
Arlen “Supple” Specter (did you know that acronymania is also known as initialism?) managed to effortlessly pull off the difficult quadruple axel toe loop of [...]

On March 3, John McCain — in his continuing anti-pork crusade — mocked “$951,500 for the Oregon Solar Highway” as the #1 piece of pork in the omnibus spending bill.
Just four days earlier, he had produced a top-ten list. It’s easy enough to guess (from his track record of constant reversals on every single [...]

It’s been a while since John McCain made the news just for being thoroughly confused about something that nobody has much excuse for being confused about if they aren’t starting to lose their marbles.
That’s probably not because he hasn’t been confused in this manner lately. It’s probably because he’s been keeping a low profile, [...]
