Maverick McCain
Apologies to James Garner...
Who is the balding stranger there?The Sun News | 08/28/2006 | McCain weighs possible campaign's course
Maverick is the name.
Riding the trail to you know where
Tweety's his companion
Dissemblin' is his game.
Smooth as a snake that's shed its skin
Maverick is the name.
Sold his soul to the crazy base
He's a rank careerist
Sure don't know no shame.
Stock exchange ring your bell!
Principles shot to hell!
Power's the substance that he loves the best!
Flippin' off New Orleans
Lyin' on TV screens
Maverick sure can pander with the best.

How would U.S. Sen. John McCain respond to an invitation to address the student body of Bob Jones University?Technorati Tags: John McCain, BJU, Bob Jones, crazy base, pandering, liar
Very carefully.
The Arizona Republican thought about the question when asked last week during his swing through South Carolina. The presidential contender remembered all too well the furor and pain heaped upon then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush for speaking at the fundamentalist institution in Greenville during the height of the 2000 S.C. Republican presidential primary.
McCain was careful with his response because he was the one who led the criticism of Bush for speaking at BJU and not repudiating the schools anti-Catholic teachings or policy banning interracial dating. The university has since lifted the ban on interracial dating and toned down its anti-Catholic rhetoric.
McCain, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, left the door open for a visit. No invitation has been extended. It's too early, school officials said.
McCain said he'd have to look at the school's latest policy statements.
"I understand they have made considerable progress," he said."I can't remember when I've turned down a speaking invitation. I think I'd have to look at it."
