WASHINGTON - John McCain yesterday dismissed reports of sniping and backstabbing between his staff and Sarah Palin's - and the candidates themselves.

"That's pure baloney, we get along fine," McCain told Orland's WFTV. "There's always some in-fighting among staffs that goes on."

He added that "a couple of mavericks aren't always going to agree on every issue."

1. So it is true.

:shrug:

2. Is there such a thing as "pure baloney"?

:rofl:

3. Whenever I see the word 'maverick,' I automatically translate it to 'a**hole' in my mind.

Anyone else do that?

4. What a couple of assholes - who else goes around calling themselves...

..."mavericks" or anything else like that ~ it's one thing for someone else to say it; it's pitiful to say it themselves.

5. I'm looking foward to their mavericky reactions on election day.

And to the blame game afterwards... :popcorn:

6. Right, John. A couple of "mavericks" aren't always going to agree.

I would suggest, though, that while actively campaigning, it might be best to at least give the appearance of unity. :eyes:
