Eric Boehlert documents and deconstructs John McCain’s mind-boggling 13 Sunday news show appearances so far this year. Boehlert and Steve Benen both not that McCain chairs no committees, is not involved in the health care reform debate, and he isn’t currently pushing any major bills on his own nor is he a key swing vote in any legislation under consideration. The Beltway press corps just has an illogical love of John McCain.

It’s great to be reminded that as far as the media is concerned, elections do not have consequences.
