McCain: The Republican's Butt Boy

Over the few days or so, John McCain has said some pretty nasty things about both Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney.

McCain blamed Cheney and Rumsfeld for what he said was, "a terribly mishandled" war.

A few days later, McCain apologized to Cheney claiming he was misquoted (yeah right).

In addition, McCain has called Rumsfeld one of the worst Secretary of Defence in the countries history. We shall wait and see if he apologizes to Rumsfeld as well.

So this begs the question: Is McCain Cheney and Rumsfeld's butt boy or is he his own candidate?
