McCain is an Asshole

Per Sully and Steve Benen:

A helpful summary of his (non)evolution:

We can't repeal DADT until the Secretary of Defense says it's a good idea. Oh, he does?

Well then we can't repeal DADT until the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff says it's a good idea. Oh, he's on board, too?

Well then we can't repeal DADT until we've surveyed servicemen and women, asking their opinion on the policy. They're fine with repeal, too?

Well then we can't repeal DADT until we've studied the survey results for months.

Translation: I will single-handedly prevent it. Because I can. And because president Obama (who beat me bad) is in favor.
