McCain INVITED Abramoff business partner to be part of his team
John Aravosis (DC) · 8/13/2008 08:28:00 PM ET · Link


McCain isn't just holding a fundraiser with Jack Abramoff's discredit business partner, according to the business partner, Ralph Reed. Reed was invited to be part of the McCain 2008 team. That adds a whole new level to this story. McCain sought Reed out, knowing full well of Reed's involvement with the Abramoff scandal. That's scummy. And it's all the more evidence that McCain at best has no idea what's going on in his own campaign, and at worst, McCain is complicit in becoming the evil that he has so often railed against in the past.

Jed ties it all together:

2. Ralph Reed is pretty scummy even without Abramoff
a sanctimonious little twerp overflowing with mendacity.
Blecccch.

3. That's why the invitation seems so ill-advised. Who is advising
him anyway?
But will the m$m bring this up? Not likely.
