From the Washington Times:

The striking thing about Sen. John McCain’s series of speeches this week was how often he apologized for or explained youthful indiscretions, his temper or his bad congressional votes.

On his “Service to America” tour, Mr. McCain repeatedly touted his military service and bipartisan credentials and talked about the heroes who shaped his personal life and politics.

But it could just as easily have been called the “imperfect public servant” tour — words he used to describe himself to students at his former high school on day two of the tour — as he found himself apologizing for not always living up to what those heroes expected: (read the story for what he was apologizing for)

To me, McCain is sounding more like a person who truly cares, rather then a business as usual tell the people what they want to hear (otherwise known as pandering) kind of politician. It’s something we do not hear in politics much at all anymore, and it is refreshing. A politician that actually tells it how it is.
