Senator John Thune, you sir are no gentleman

via Michelle Malkin

Another Republican joins the “maverick” club: Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the man who defeated Tom Daschle, has announced he will not vote for Bush U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton. Thune says his opposition is payback for the Pentagon’s recommendation to close Ellsworth Air Force Base. Thune now claims that Bolton “is not the best man for the job.”

He could have at least tried to hide his scumbag reasoning.

*update

Just a thought but there are a few different definitions for “maverick” I think this one suits Senator Thune best:

mav·er·ick
noun

An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.

It looks as though Senator Reid is the one who gets to brand Thune.
