Just remember - in the old TV show, all the Mavericks (Bart, Bret and Beau) were con men and card cheats.

chesnut - Obama lickers?
Does name-calling improve the nation you and I live in? Does it improve the reputation of McCain supporters?
Does it make supporting McCain look like a smart thing?

that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain
III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of
American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege
against which they rebelled into mediocrity. Both developed an
uncanny social intelligence that allowed them to skate by with a
minimum of mental exertion. Both struggled with booze and loutish
behavior. At each step, with the aid of their fathers' powerful
friends, both failed upward. And both shed their skins as
Episcopalian members of the Washington elite to build political
careers as self-styled, ranch-inhabiting Westerners who pray to
Jesus in their wives' evangelical churches.</P></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain/page/1" href="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain/page/1" style="font-size: 11px;">www.rollingstone.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain/page/1"><FONT size="+1">T</FONT>his is the story of the real John
