As a congressman in 1983, John McCain thought the federal holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was inappropriate, and that it "cost too much money, that other presidents were not recognized."
He eventually came around. In 1990.
It is the 40th anniversary of Dr. King's assassination. McCain was quoted today as admitting he was "wrong", adding, "We can all be a little late sometimes in doing the right thing."
Yeah. You mean like you and Iraq, huh, Senator McCain?
