McCain's Steroids Push Puts Him in '08 Mix
Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), the straight-talking Republican who often challenges the GOP establishment, has taken on a headline-grabbing issue — steroids in baseball — and generated talk of a presidential bid in 2008.

Well, I guess that explains it. It just confirms that, far from being the maverick, "straight-talker" he (and the adoring media) portrays himself to be, he's just another sleazball politician, happily exceeding Constitutional mandate in order to generate attention.
Comments:
That's the other thing that bugs me about him. The fact he's a media darling. The media just likes him because he's a non-conservative Republican. I hope the GOP can field some better choices in 4 years.
 
And another thing: what the heck kind of issue is that to generate interest in a Presidential bid? Is America at home worrying "We really need a leader to fix steroids in sports"?
 
I know I'm a little behind the curve on this one, but McCain is pushing steroids? Is the MLB players' union aware of this?
