Speaking of politics. John McCain is not the original maverick. There are only four "original mavericks", and those are the poker playing brothers Bart, Bret, Beau, and Brent Maverick, from the critically un-acclaimed comedy-western TV series of the late 50's and early 60's: "Maverick."

Who is the tall dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Riding the trail to who-knows-where

Wild as the wind in Oregon

Blowin' up a canyon

Easier to tame.

Riverboat ring your bell.

Fare-thee-well Annabelle.

Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Natchez to New Orleans.

Livin' on jacks and queens.

Maverick is a legend of the west.
