We've been given a shiny, fresh, and FAMILIAR gift in the form of Rick Davis.

[blondeatlast]

Not only is Davis McCain's CAMPAIGN MANAGER; he's up to his neck in the Fannie Mae muck, he's also been a VERY public face as a surrogate for McCain on the teevee talkers--and a nasty, charmless, and pretty dimwitted one at that.

It's clear that the press has been making use of the blogs to pick up chatter and research on stories so we need to talk this up (and thank you, bloggers, for your tirelss volunteer work for democracy!).

Davis is already disliked by many people from his teevee appearances and he's still directly involved with McCain. The media has picked up the story (some with glee, Rachel Maddow was really enjoying covering it, it was visible) and the blogs can have a field day with this thoroughly unlikable "human.".

Of course, we need to keep the Keating connection out there as McCain was DIRECTLY involved with that, but does anyone LIKE Rick Davis, even among moderate republicans?

Edit: Davis was paid FIFTEEN GRAND A MONTH by Freddie Mac until last month, for those unfamiliar with the story: http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/president/29653084.html?elr=KArks:DCiUHc3E7_V_nDaycUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU

1. He is Mr "The issues don't matter" nt

2. More than "directly involved" with McCain

Davis, along with the equally repulsive Steve Schmidt and Charlie Black are completely in charge of his campaign. McCain/Palin don't blink without their permission.

These scumbags, along with Cheney's neocon foreign policy 'advisors', are the ones who will really be running the country in the event of a McCain victory.

3. Good point; I fixed that part. Teh reason I singled out Davis was his very public face; he's not

only charmless and witless, he's also unattractive; that counts in this media age.

Since he never appeared on Maddow's show, she's the PERFECT person to run with this. No fear of embarrassment that he appeared there. Once it gets legs, the rest of the m$m will pick it up.

4. I've been enjoying HuffPo's front page this morning...

I want these asshats to go down hard and these wonderful revelations need to continue straight through October.

More Americans need to wake up and realize that they're being played.

6. Exactly.

Their "strategy" depends entirely on the assumption that the American people are too stupid to realize when they are being lied to.

The more exposure these reptillian bastards get, the more people will wake up.

8. Oh, my... that is a LOVERLY splash page, isn't it?!

5. $15,000 per month

That's $180,000 per year, which is more than McCain makes for being a United States Senator.

And just out of curiosity -- Senators have voted themselves a 10% wage increase between 2001 - 2006. How did your raise stack up?

7. McCain outright LIED about this on "60 Minutes," too. nt

9. So far "up to his neck" that it mashed his chin, apparently /nt

10. I just saw this story on Huff Post....

Looks like McLiar has been caught in another whopper!

11. You may have seen him on teevee but can't put the name to the face; well...
