Lawrence O’Donnell says that John McCain’s wrangling on the cloture deal is “easily the bravest political act of this century.” Of course, we’re only five years in, so I suppose he may be right. But a verdict of bravery usually requires that the act be worthwhile as well as personally painful –- if I deliberately hit my toe with a hammer it’s not brave, it’s just stupid.
