He reads Keith Olbermann into the Congressional Record, he refuses (initially) to return tainted campaign contributions, he threatens the broadcasting license of television networks that dare to besmirch Bill Clinton’s legacy, and now this.

He is a disgrace to humanity. As far as McCain is concerned, don't forget he was involved in some kind of scandal way back when. They never nailed him but that doesn't mean he wasn't involved. One other thing about McCain - he is always bitching about all the pork barrel projects the other people are getting for their states. Has anybody ever checked to see what is going to his state? He must be bringing some of the bacon home or why would they keep re-electing him. It would be interesting to see how much federal money he is bringing home. Methinks he may be a hypocrite.
