"Rick is a friend, and I trust him," McCain told NEWSWEEK last year.

Last week, though, McCain's trust in Davis was tested again amid disclosures that Freddie Mac, the troubled mortgage giant that was recently placed under federal conservatorship, paid his campaign manager's firm $15,000 a month between 2006 and August 2008.

But noooooo. He's known as THE MAVERICK, Katie.

....Freddie Mac also had no dealings with the lobbying firm beyond paying monthly invoicesbut it agreed to the arrangement because of Davis's close relationship with McCain, the source said, which led top executives to conclude "you couldn't say no."

The McCain campaign told reporters the fees were irrelevant because Davis "separated from his consulting firm in 2006," according to the campaign's Web site, and he stopped drawing a salary from it. In fact, however, when Davis joined the campaign in January 2007, he asked that his $20,000-a-month salary be paid directly to Davis Manafort, two sources who asked not to be identified discussing internal campaign business told NEWSWEEK. Federal campaign records show the McCain campaign paid Davis Manafort $90,000 through July 2007....

One senior McCain adviser said the entire flap could have been avoided if the campaign had resisted attacking Barack Obama for his ties to two former Fannie Mae executives, which prompted the media to take a second look at Davis. "It was stupid," the adviser said. "A serious miscalculation and an amateurish move."

If you point your finger at someone in accusation-you're also pointing three fingers at yourself.

The current embarrassment for grampy poopy pants proves that. Again.

So by trying to tie FM/FM to Obama's tail McCain opened up a can of whup-ass on himself when further investigation proved his connections to the big plate o' FAIL were longer and stronger?

Bwa hah hah hah hah hah hah!

It's like the time he tried to lean too heavily on the whistleblower who discovered that Cindy McCain was an addict and a thief and ended up revealing the story to the world.

Spud would say that was John being too clever by half again but somehow RT's would read that wrong.

Strewth.

McCain has "troubled his own house" and now stands ready to "inherit the wind"

Be Well.
