The Original Maverick

I understand that John McCain has recently taken to touting himself in his advertisements as the "original Maverick". While a few who probably don't know any better have claimed that the original Maverick should, in fact, be Tom Cruise's character from a movie that helped finance one of Don Simpson's 1980s drug buys, the smarter of us all know that the original Maverick is the gentleman pictured above.

Parenthetically, Mr. Garner is now in poor health, but I'm willing to bet that, should he get a chance to vote, he'll vote for Obama.
