Can it get any better?

“The Maverick” said:

“At the center of the problem were the lobbyists, politicians and bureaucrats who succeeded in persuading Congress and the administration to ignore the festering problems at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” he said. “Using money and influence, they prevented reforms that would have curbed their power and limited their ability to damage our economy. And now, as ever, the American taxpayers are left to pay the price for Washington’s failure.” (emphasis added by me)

The New York Times:

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 guy must have been reaping it just until you taxpayers had to bail out Fannie and Freddie. Plus/Minus a couple of days, maybe.

Of course, “the Maverick” lied about that, too. Again, The NYT, same article:

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.

Davis needs to resign. Now. And McCain has a lot of splainin’ to do. Please go and vote them out of their misery in November!
