McCain and Graham would rather please the press and be collegial in the minority! Graham, McCain blast Paul filibuster

Guess they don't want to offend Old Chuck.

Old Boys will be Old Boys. Jealousy has intruded into Senator Paul's use of a real filibuster.

Graham, McCain blast Paul filibuster - Washington Times

Sen. Rand Paul’s filibuster didn’t thrill all of his colleagues.

Almost exactly 24 hours after Mr. Paul began his information-seeking filibuster against John O. Brennan, Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham took to the Senate floor to denounce his demands and say he was doing a “disservice” to the debate on drones.

He needs to know what he’s talking about,” said Mr. McCain, Republicans’ presidential nominee in 2008 — who topped Mr. Paul’s father, former Rep. Ron Paul, in that year’s primary.
