Ace fails the nation again.

As of this afternoon, Johnny (Ace) McCain has earned his spot as the permanent poster boy for the I've got mine, go fuck yourself branch of the GOP (the branch that includes about 99.9 percent of all Republicans).

Ace McCain lost me for good when he chose Palin as his 2008 running mate, so it would've been silly to imagine he'd do the right thing today. He's been as predictable as the sunrise for nearly a decade.

And while we're on the subject, there should be a law prohibiting any further action on a GOP health care destruction bill until Donny Two Scoops makes a 60 minute national address (televised live on ABC, CBS, and NBC), describing in minute detail the specific provisions of the legislation, including a thorough, step-by-step explanation of how each provision is a significant improvement over the current Affordable Care Act.

If he needs more time, we'll increase the network slots from one hour to 180 minutes. But no reading from notes or a teleprompter will be permitted. The American people who didn't vote for him demand and deserve answers, unlike the goddamned Deplorables, who are content to live in a haze.

Digby is worth a look.

Added 12:49 AM on Friday 28 July: I've been waiting since 2000 for Ace McCain to do something that would make me respect him a little again. Tonight he did it.
