One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain's campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.The disclosure undercuts a remark by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years.
Mr. Davis's firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the two people said.
They said they did not recall Mr. Davis's doing much substantive work for the company in return for the money, other than to speak to a political action committee of high-ranking employees in October 2006 on the approaching midterm Congressional elections...
The big questions now are: 1) when will John McCain fire Rick Davis as his campaign manager; 2) when will John McCain apologize to the American people for running an unethical campaign of lobbyists and lies; and 3) when will the American people overwhelmingly - not to mention angrily - declare, "no way, no how, no McCain?"
So, specifically here's McCain's gigantic hypocrisy
McCain - this giant disaster was caused by my #1 guy. It's all his fault, he's running my campaign, make me president.
