Matthews, Blitzer call McCain "maverick," "straight talk[er]," for calling for Craig resignation

SUMMARY: Continuing a pattern of uncritically calling Sen. John McCain a "maverick" and a "straight talker," CNN's Wolf Blitzer and MSNBC's Chris Matthews suggested that, because McCain has called on Sen. Larry Craig to resign, he is espousing "straight talk from the Straight Talk Express" and "is very much the maverick" -- despite other Republicans having called for Craig's resignation as well.
