a noncompetitive plan by the Air Force to lease refueling jets from Boeing Co. for a cost that could reach $30 billion. The more that Mr. McCain, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, looked into the deal, the worse he said it smelled. He started demanding documents — including internal e-mails of Air Force Secretary James Roche and others — but the Pentagon initially stonewalled. Defense sources say the White House drew up a letter in response that restricted access to Mr. McCain, who could only read the documents, not copy them or take notes. "The letter was completely insulting to the senator," a defense official acknowledged later. Darleen Druyun, the Air Force official and later Boeing executive who principally negotiated the deal, pleaded guilty in federal court to a conflict of interest and is serving a nine-month prison sentence.

Every time McCain attacks the adminsitration, I know they're right and it's just more grunting from the rare High Sonoran Desert White RINO.

We all have his number and while he may be a media darling, the true patriots in America have no use for McC at all.
