McCain Disagrees With Palin: VP Is Not ‘Part Of Both Legislative And Executive Branch’»
Yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) gave an exclusive interview to the Washington Times, in which he stepped up his criticism of President Bush. McCain said he wouldn’t continue Bush’s use of signing statements, and claimed to disagree with Cheney’s view of his role as Vice President:

Q: He’s made some expansive claims of executive power and you’ve talked a little about this. What specifically would you roll back of those claims?

MCCAIN: I certainly wouldn’t have these signing statements. … I think the signing statements was not a correct, um, implementation of the power of the executives. I think it was overstepping. <…>

Q: You’ve seen some of the claims of privilege that he’s made as well–

M: Yeah I don’t agree with that either. And I don’t agree with Dick Cheney’s allegation that he’s part of both legislative and executive branch.

2. Poor McCain..

At one time he had a chance to actually be a real leader. He did stand up for what was right at times, he did battle his party, he did seem to be a good man, which makes his descent into whoredom all the more damning...It means he was lying all along, as opposed to just lying right now.
