“I miss John McCain,” writes the Washington Post‘s Dana Milbank today (2/5/10). Milbank calls himself “an original McCainiac”– by which he means that he, like so many others in the corporate media, adored the so-called “maverick” John McCain of the 2000 presidential campaign.

As we’ve pointed out plenty of times before, McCain’s Senate record has staunchly conservative throughout his career–except for those anomalous years, just before and after his unsuccessful bid for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination, when the press mostly fell in love with him. Wishing for that McCain to return is akin to wishing that politician would just lie to you one more time.
