Obama vs. McCain

Mr. I Want Everyone to Think I'm a Maverick, but in reality I do whatever the Preznit tells me to do gets all sanctimonious on Obama and plays that old Republican card, the "fake outrage." He must be hanging around Sen. Joe-mentum Lieberman too much.

And, of course Chris Matthews just eats it up, because after all he has proven himself a sucker for "independent/maverick" Republicans like McCain. He just loves it when they play the "fake bipartisanship" game, which means "quick someone call Lieberman to help us whitewash a Republican scandal."

Mean Senator Obama wouldn't play the game, and he also wouldn't stoop to McCain's name-calling or whiney political ploys. Good for him.

Exclusive dialog from Hardball this evening:

McCain: Obama is a mean man and won't help me pass the Preznit's fake ethics reform proposal.
Matthews: I wish I could quit you. Could you dress up in a flight suit for me? I just love it when the Preznit does it.
