This morning on Meet The Press, here's what McCain had to say, and I'm paraphrasing slightly: Trying to get or getting a few Republicans to get a 60-vote majority is not bipartisan.  I know bipartisanship.  Why don't we start over, sit down, and start with medical-malpractice reform and selling insurance across state lines?

He later weaseled around on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell despite his statement in 2006 that he would support doing so if military leadership supported it.  But if there's a thorough study that he decides he could trust and all of the military leadership in their official capacity supports repeal, then he would have to seriously consider supporting getting rid of it.

Thoughts:

1. I didn't realize "bipartisan" meant "doing only what the core of the minority party wants, and nothing more."
2. I have less respect for John McCain, as a politician and as a person, than virtually any other politician in this country.  This interview reinforced that.  Maybe he should stick to investigating steroids in baseball, or else avoid media interactions where he has to explain himself.
