Then she switched sides and now she runs a super-liberal website where she occasionally breaks news like this: John McCain didn't vote for George Bush in 2000. But now he's a total Republican sell-out! This disappoints Arianna greatly, because she used to respect him, back when he was a maverick.

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee and definitive old person John McCain made his 13th appearance on the Daily Show last night, which is a record.
