POPCORN HERE: Aide: John McCain ‘f*cking hates’ Ted Cruz

[beerandjesus]

23. My theory:

When John McCain sold his soul around the time of the 2000 election, a few small pieces of it crumbled off during the extraction process. These crumbs very occasionally find their way to his brain, causing him to say something vaguely principled.

Unfortunately, some of us (like me) who, in spite of our better instincts, in the hope of finding some vague hint of sanity or ethics in the Republican party, grasp at these crumbs in the hope that the old McCain will return, the one who was a bastard and an opportunist, but still able to at least engage Democrats; the McCain who was at the very least not an apologist for the type of neo-Nazi that currently runs his party. Alas, we grasp in vain, as these crumbles are soon reduced to mere atoms, and our hopes are shown to be as ephemeral as "compassionate conservatism".
