It's OK to like John McCain Again

From the beginning of the primary campaign until the election, it was cool and uncontroversial to say how much you loved the John McCain of 2000, but that you couldn't possibly vote for the 2008 John McCain in the election. When really, you never would have voted for McCain at all, at least not against Obama.

I bring you exhibit 638 of this phenomenon:

On the eve of Inauguration day, President-elect Obama will pay tribute in a special dinner to the bipartisan achievements of his former GOP rival, Arizona Sen. John McCain, a man who just a few weeks ago headed up a campaign that accused the president-elect of "palling around with terrorists."

McCain was always bipartisan, even when he was running a tough campaign against Obama. And now it's safe to admit it again.
