The smear artist

Sure, Davey, he's mavericky as hell.

Eight years ago, a senior McCain campaign advisor told ABC News' Jake Tapper that "when the going gets tough for Governor Bush, he turns to the darker side of our party," which included, in this case, hiring Tucker Eskew to smear John McCain.

Eight years later, I guess this means it's McCain who is turning to the darker side of Republican politics.
