The maverick is back. In an interview with The New Republic, Sen. John McCain bemoans the Republican “crazy birds” in the House—though he says he apologized for calling them that—and calls Fox News “schizophrenic.” When asked whom he’d vote for in a 2016 presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Sen. Rand Paul, the Arizona senator says, laughing, “It’s gonna be a tough choice.” He also calls Clinton a “rock star” and says many in the Tea Party “came to power to keep things from getting done.”
