It'd make a great ad, or simply a great comeback during the debates, or even now, when John McCain tries to deflect criticism of his troubled present by once again reminding us of his fabled past:
"Senator, I served with John McCain. I knew John McCain. John McCain was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no John McCain."Gets to the larger issue of McCain no longer being a maverick, no longer being much of anything he once was. He's just not the same John McCain who ran for president as a younger man. He's someone else now, someone unrecognizable.
