Ponder on this folks...
Thinkprogress:
During a Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee hearing yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) threatened to oppose President Obama’s pick deputy secretary of Interior, David Hayes, over comments that Hayes had made about former President Ronald Reagan in a 2006 report for the Progressive Policy Institute. “I will be considering seriously whether I can support your nomination or not,” said McCain.
“The conservative political agenda in the West is grounded in hoary stereotypes about the region and its people” and that “out of this conservative world view emerges the stereotypical Western man (and it is unquestionably a ‘he’)—a rugged, gun-toting individualist who fiercely guards every man’s right to drill, mine, log, or do whatever he damn well pleases on the land” and that “Like Ronald Reagan before him, President Bush has embraced the Western stereotype to the point of adopting some of its affectations—the boots, brush-clearing, and get-the-government-off-our-backs bravado.”

Geez, those are probably the only nice words someone can say about the Gerbil, calling him a cowboy.
McCain is still stewing over his lost to Obama. Now he's talking like a man who should be put away. McCain apologized for not supporting Dr. Kings birthday in hopes of getting minority votes now I guess he forgot that one. Reagan admitted he did little to nothing for minorties during his two terms as President. At lease he was a man and admitted his mistakes. Let's hope the people of Arizona let John retired peacefully to one of his 7 homes or a nursing home.
