On Hardball, Brokaw exaggerated McCain's independence from Bush

SUMMARY: On Hardball, Tom Brokaw asserted that what makes Sen. John McCain "appealing" is that "[i]t's hard to track him. He's there with his arm around the president one moment and standing back and lobbing grenades then at the next minute." Brokaw made no mention of the fact that, while McCain has taken highly publicized stands against President Bush, he has also eventually capitulated in several of those instances.
