Conservatives don’t just feel underappreciated; they worry the maverick’s unrequited love has pushed him leftward. In March, McCain was hands-off the housing market, asserting, “[I]t is not the duty of government to bail out and reward those who act irresponsibly, whether they are big banks or small borrowers.” Two weeks later, he was hands-on, insisting, “We will combine the power of government and the private sector to find immediate solutions for deserving American homeowners...

In addition to a pile of personal legal bills, Ickes' reward was learning from the front page of the Wall Street Journal that he'd been fired, three days after the 1996 election. But he was back with the Clintons a few years later, this time helping direct Hillary's 2000 race for the Senate. And he is again at their side...
