The transformation is almost complete.
McCain to speak at Falwell's college

John McCain once called Jerry Falwell an "agent of intolerance." Now he's going to be the graduation speaker at Jerry's Liberty University.

Senator John McCain to Address Liberty Commencement Ceremony
March 28, 2006

LYNCHBURG, Va. — American military hero and Arizona Sen. John McCain will deliver the Commencement message at Liberty University on May 13, at 9:30 a.m., in the Liberty University Vines Center. In addition, renowned Christian conservative leader Gary Bauer will speak during the University’s baccalaureate service on May 12, at 7:00 p.m., in the main sanctuary of the Thomas Road Baptist Church.

Sen. McCain is one of America’s most recognized Republican lawmakers. He began his political career in 1982, when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, serving Arizona’s first congressional district. Four years later, he was elected to the U.S. Senate, replacing the legendary Sen. Barry Goldwater.

In 2000, McCain ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for president of the United States. He is currently the chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, and serves on the Armed Services and Commerce, Science and Transportation Committees.

Sen. McCain’s name cannot be mentioned without most Americans recalling his distinguished service to the nation as a Naval aviator.

1. No one on the right wing is buying this either.

McCain is as politically opportunistic as Hillary.

Yeah, I said it.

2. Oh, good luck with that, John.

They'll probably boo him off the stage.

3. Mccain is like junk food

He comes in a pretty package but as soon as you digest what's undereneath you want to hurl.

4. What a complete joke.

I can no longer tolerate seeing McCain on the television. After he drank a full pitcher of the Kool-Aid during the 2000 primaries and let junior talk to him like a child, I lost what ever amount of respect for him. Now I am certain my feelings were correct. Asshat.

5. Maybe Falwell can try some faith healing. McCain needs it. n/t

6. If I were you John, I would check yourself in for a flea dip after that

gig. Tell them to use the delousing shampoo as a precaution as well.

7. The man has lost every shred of dignity

he's shameless. A total political animal. I can't get that image of McCain man-hugging Bush at the convention with this idiotic bliss on his face.

8. I can't wait to see him get down on his knees & give him a hug

like he did the chimp........ Simply disgusting.

9. Well now he has another problem with his face

It's a continuing brown stain on his nose.
