It's over between Roberta and me. At least for now.

What with her constant travels, her series of handlers and the 3,000-mile separation (she's in D.C., I'm in L.A.), it just wasn't working.

I concede, with only a tinge of embarrassment, that I've been captivated by that world traveler, grandmother, freeway speedster and potential First Mother of the United States, Roberta McCain.

But after months waiting in vain for a formal interview, I'm beginning to believe that her son's presidential campaign really isn't interested in getting Roberta McCain and me together for, as the man likes to call it, a little "straight talk."

"They've got me muzzled," Mrs. McCain, 96, said when I phoned the other day. She added with a chuckle: "Now don't you print that. . . . I really don't like to be interviewed."

Hmmm, mother a debutante twin. Father an admiral. Embassy hopping. Go anywhere they want anytime they want. Dumps wife for 2nd beer heiress trophy with connections. Is this the guy you want to have a beer with? A guy who muzzles his mother?

1. I wouldn't mind having a beer with his mother.

Based on that commercial we saw a few months ago, which sank like a stone, she's not all that enamored of him. I'd bet she'd have some illuminating things to say about Junior.

2. And after a couple of beers she might start talking about his temper

and a few other things.

3. What someone's mother thinks or says is irrelevant.

People should focus on real things and not the pecularities of someone's relatives.

5. Yes, she couldn't possibly have anything useful or relevant to say about her own son.

6. Yeah, but who knows him better than his mother? n/t

4. Does McShame have living siblings?
