Excuse Me, Mr. Ridge. Your Freudian Slip is Showing.

Quoth Tom Ridge:

"Because John Bush – because John McCain is very much his own man."

Ja, you betcha:

According to a CQ analysis of Senate votes on issues President Bush expressed “an explicit, stated opinion,” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) voted with President Bush 100 percent of the time in 2008 and 95 percent of the time in 2007.

Total maverick, Tom. Absolutely.
