This fits in perfectly with the nature of John McCain that has been laid bare in this campaign; a self-serving opportunist, willing to do anything to get ahead, regardless of the moral and ethical nature of it.

And people are calling this career con-man the "champion of the common man"? The irony is almost painful.
