How Mavericks Talk

Less than a day after a report revealed that Sarah Palin abused her power as governor in the pursuit of a personal vendetta, John McCain and Palin hit the campaign trail:

MCCAIN: As a senator I’ve seen the corrupt ways of Washington and the wasteful spending and abuses of power ...  As president I’m going to end these abuses whatever it takes.

PALIN: As a senator, John McCain has seen the corrupt ways of Washington and the wasteful spending and the abuses of power in Washington and on Wall Street. And as president he’s going to end those abuses whatever it takes.

There are two things to take away from these remarks: first, that irony is not dead. And second, McCain and Palin really are singing from the same sheet of "Music Designed to Bullshit the Listener."

And on a related note, Washington Monthly points out that:

The McCain/Palin ticket is the first in American history in which both candidates were found to have violated ethics standards before a national election.

Mavericks!
