John McCain drops a hint that he’s thinking that he’s ready for retirement:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) hinted that he may be serving his last term in office, admitting that he does not want to become “one of these old guys that should’ve shoved off.”

McCain, a 27-year veteran of the senate and former presidential candidate, made the admission while speaking about his relationship with President Obama.

“The president and I, he’s in his last term, I’m probably in mine, the relationship we have had over the past three years is quite good,” McCain told The Wrap in an interview. “Quite good.”

The 77-year-old McCain’s current term is up in 2016. When asked if this would really be his last term, McCain backtracked a bit.

“Nah, I don’t know,” McCain said. “I was trying to make a point. I have to decide in about two years so I don’t have to make a decision. I don’t want to be one of these old guys that should’ve shoved off.”

  5. One can only assume he is having trouble finding a job as a lobbyist. As the realtor said, “I’m not bragging, I’m applying for a job!” This is his cry for help.

  6. Let’s keep our finger crossed… I, for one, am SO sick and tired of Mr. “Let’s start another war!”. It’s not like he’s working because he has to. He’ll be paid for the rest of his life and get what I call “Magic Healthcare” for the rest of his life too.

  8. Mccain obviously needs to be pushed out of office. For some time his days have been numbered, he is lucky to have fooled so many for so long. Mccain has been on both sides of the fence forever, often stabbing his constituents in the back. Time to go was twenty years ago!!
