So now we have to hear the word "maverick"... again? That's a pretty steep price to pay:
John McCain has just come to the rescue of his old drinking buddy Hillary Clinton, bucking his colleague John Cornyn by calling for an immediate voice vote on her confirmation as Secretary of State.
In his first maverick-y move of the 111th Congress, McCain took to the Senate floor to call for unanimous consent to skip the 4:30 p.m. roll call on her nomination. [...]
So far, every Republican except Cornyn has risen to say they want her confirmed as quickly as possible.
Gramm-pa does get points for this, but only reluctantly.
