5. Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, because they've been right the whole time. BREAKING: Three Whole Republican Senators Care If You Live or Die. GettyWhile McCain's move voting against Trumpcare is being heralded as "stunning and brave"—and while it was refreshing and decisive—these senators were committed to doing the right thing from the beginning. Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska were against repeal before it was cool. McCain definitely walks away from the story as a hero with a true Hollywood moment, but it was Collins and Murkowski who stood firmly against the bill throughout it's weird journey of life and death and life and death again. Plus, the women get extra maverick points for having to endure ridiculous, sexist attacks from her colleagues. In Collins's case, a ducky pajama-wearing GOP congressman said he wanted to take her own "Aaron Burr-style," and she was caught with a burn worthy of a Hamilton cabinet battle.MALE SENATOR on FARENTHOLD: "You could beat the shit out of him."SUSAN COLLINS: "He's huge ... he's so unattractive, it's unbelievable." pic.twitter.com/hyw6fKU15E— JM Rieger (@RiegerReport) July 25, 2017 Thank you, Senators.

Steve Bannon, because he might be more limber than he appears. Slowly...leaning...forward. GettyMore surprising than John McCain doing the right thing, this week we learned that Steve Bannon has a special skill: auto-fellatio.In an absolutely unhinged, presumably coke-fueled interview with The New Yorker, White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci communicated: Please take a minute to enjoy seeing this quote in official New Yorker style. The New YorkerSure, while this may be a figure of speech, it also may not be, and now this image is not only seared into our brains but has been entered into the annals of history.2.
