John McCain is a superstar

The NYTimes writes one of those "John McCain has landed on his feet" articles that have been appearing across all the press (complete with the standard obsequious Lindsey Graham quote.)

No matter what John McCain does, the press just loves him.

The one interesting addition from the NYTimes,

Mr. McCain has cut back his dealings with many of the people who were at his side while he was running for president. Steve Schmidt, his campaign manager, has returned to California, while Mike Murphy, a longtime adviser, has not talked to him since last summer, according to associates of both men. Mark Salter, his closest aide, alter ego and book collaborator, has left Mr. McCain’s Senate staff and gone into private business, and now speaks to him about once a week.
