McCain Transition Chief Aided Saddam In Lobbying Effort Basically, it says that "William Timmons, the
As I said, I'll reserve judgment on this till it's confirmed by others, but by golly - what is McCain thinking? Is he even thinking at all?? Does he pick his associates out of a hat with no prior thought or vetting, kinda like the way he picked his running mate?
We all know about Sarah Palin's abuse of power and also about Palin's association with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party, as well as Todd Palin's bona fide membership in this wacko organization till 2002. BTW, CNN is carrying this story TODAY, so don't miss it; I heard they showed this video of Sarah Palin addressing this year's AIP conference.

As oft-reported, his campaign manager Rick Davis was paid $2.5 million by Freddie Mac until last month; it's reported that he was a paid lobbyist for the warlord Mobutu Sese Seko, who stole $6 billion (that's right, billion) from

Or if he doesn't, it should be interesting watching him being taken apart on his netherworld associations that he so "carefully" selected and cultivated.
