Oh shit! I stepped in some icky-poo.
The NY Times has a fairly comprehensive look at the latest moves by the White House to a)get their voter fraud specialist Spakovsky on the Federal Elections Commission and b)help the Old Fart by giving him a pipeline to the Treasury. The language of the piece is so non-inflamatory that I suspect asbestos would combust before this piece.
Although Mr. McCain has been a longtime champion of campaign finance reform, he also has an urgent pecuniary interest in the matter.In other words, he is desperate for money and doesn't want to have his earlier actions declared illegal. Or consider this assessment of the moves, including the removal of David M Mason.
Even Mr. Gross, who represents clients from both parties, said the decision to pull Mr. Mason’s renomination made it difficult to believe that Mr. McCain was not involved in some way.Such gentle license but you can draw your own conclusion.
“It is sort of further indicia that Senator McCain’s fingerprints are somehow part of the motivating factor of getting these commission seats filled,” Mr. Gross said. “I didn’t get a license in detective work, but I don’t think you’d have to be a certified detective to figure it out.”
