Why can't McCain work for $1 now? Why is he still accepting social security and a navy pension?

What an absolute fraud and shame on Schieffer for failing to perform his basic duties as a journalist. Today on Face the Nation McCain suggested his wealthy Cabinet members would work for $1 per year. That's nice, but what about McCain - man of 12 houses - himself?

Now, I'm not sure what McCain thinks is wealthy (well, we know in fact - he thinks you have to make over $5m a year to be "wealthy") but by most accounts, making over $400,000 (what he pulled in last year) is pretty comfortable, especially for a 72 year old. In addition to his own healthy income, his wife is worth over $100 million. Besides his income from the Senate, McCain also receives Social Security income and a Navy pension. While it may be unusual for any American to continue receiving a salary in addition to disability, if that's what the law allows, so be it. It's understandable that he receives the disability income, but the rest of it raises questions according to his new standard. But to suggest others should go without a normal salary because they are wealthy, and then fail at your own promise, just goes to prove what a hypocrite he is. Maybe he's just confused about the income he gladly accepts year after year or perhaps his friends are even wealthier, but shouldn't he have had to defend his own actions? Shouldn't Bob Schieffer be responsible for asking questions instead of acting like a cheerleader?

Again, this is well beyond anything most Americans could ever dream of so why is McCain even mentioning such an idea? If he can't even live up to his own phony set of standards - just like Bush for the last eight years - then shouldn't he be called out? We all know Bob Schieffer is a patsy, but his showing today was something to behold. Could he have been any friendlier with McCain? I thought he was going to hug McCain it was so bad.
