    Imagine not knowing that the maverick fad was a Republican Palin/McCain thing.

    Was poking fun at the liberal contingent on this board’s tendency to lament why more Republicans can’t be the wishy-washy, sabotages-Republican-legislative-priorities type and their professed “respect” for those folks.

    And noting how, shockingly, the love for senators who sabotage their party’s legislative priorities does not extend to those in one’s own party.

    Sorry the joke went over your head, Captain Literal.

    (I didn’t say “you call them Mavericks”)

    I’m kind of lost as to why we’re debating what something I didn’t say would have meant had I said it?

    In any event, I don’t really care enough to continue arguing about what, I thought at least, was pretty clearly intended to be a throw away laugh about neither side really liking unreliable senators. But have a nice night!

    I don’t know how you thought anyone would think that is what you meant by what you said.
