Yep, the love of “bipartisan” actions exposes the Uniparty for what it really is.

The jet bomber in the lake and the Oldsmobile in the bay, you mean? Did McCain have a gal with him?

Are they admitting McStain did have an affair with his lobbyist?

Kennedy drank the hard stuff — McCain drank beer.

“Mitch McConnell: Senator Kennedy’s ‘Career Was Eerily Similar to Senator McCain’s’”

They were both pricks with ears and had the same brain disorder.

Ted Kennedy was a bloated, drunken slob. If I were McCain’s family I’d issue a public statement demanding an apology from McConnell.

How about the “John McCain Memorial Term Limit Amendment”- because no senator should die while in office.

Exactly. Most people would view this comment as an incredibly stupid, awkward comment. But not members of Club Senate. Kennedy and McCain were “lions” of the Senate — whatever the F that means. Quite frankly, this is an insult to McCain, as bad as he could be. McCain didn’t murder anyone. McCain didn’t spend his days boozing and sexually assaulting women, and then getting his staff to cover it up.
