Anybody else catch the Time article on Hillary and John McCain?
Man, was that ever a nauseating piece of work. Best buddies.

Two of the biggest and worst political opportunists ever. They both could be great in certain ways if their ambition didn't allow them to be so fucking shameful and shameless.

Hosting a movie premiere together? :: groan ::

The first bipartisan presidential ticket ever? :puke:

I swear if the next 3 and a half years is going to be a big McCain-Hillary oral pleasure fest then sombody shoot me. Put me down like a dog. And, if by some chance I survive the MSM lapdog fest and they end up running on the same ticket, somebody do me in then,. For sure.

I won't be able to take it.

2. She would get mine if she is the nominess
A Clinton/McCain ticket is ridiculous and ain't gonna happen. I do not consider her a political opportunist - she is not my Senator - but I do greatly admire her for the work she has done in the past and as First Lady - New York elected her Senator and they seem to really like what they've got.

3. major political opportunist, not even a question about it
that doesn't mean that she doesn't do a good job for the most part though. I'd vote for her. But, if it come down to a choice between Hillary and some Republican then nobody really wins all that much. Hillary is good. I admire her as well. But, her ambition makes her put politics before integrity. She's not in the class of a Ted Kennedy or Russ Feingold. She's more along the lines of a female Joe Biden. Slightly better but not much.

I wouldn't say a ticket like that ridiculous, but I doubt it would ever happen. What your looking at is Beltway reporter glee and speculation. People like Tumulty or Dan Balz would rather mind-rot themselves with cocktail party talk like a potential McCain-Clinton dream ticket than to do an article on someone like John Conyers and his work on the DSM or the Ohio election fraud. So you get a substanceless article like this about two political opportunists 3 years before another presidential election. Go figure.
