Blago to McCain: I'm a "Reformer"!
The Stump — Hilarious--from Letterman last night: McCain: He came to my office one time after he was elected governor, at his request. And told me he was going to be a great reformer. Letterman: Really? Is that right? McCain: I'm not making it up. That he wanted to do like I had done in the Senate and have all these reforms. I really must have impressed the guy.
