Dave, I may not know much about movies and books, but I do know, that just because a man is a war hero, does not mean he can lie to his supporters. He is scum. He is colloborating with the enemy (the democrats) against Bush in a big time traitorous manner. He is threatening Bush to ensure that this Weintraub gets an appointment to FEC, and this Weintraub is part of the vast, left wing conspiracy to bring down Republican leaders. A hero to the democrats, why is it so important to McCain? McCain is a low yellow bellied scum face lying sack of crap. I don't care what he did, he has no right to misrepresent hisself as a Republican.
I posted this yesterday, but SI search engine doesn't locate it:
Gridlock -- The process for confirming President George Bush's nominees in the Senate, never smooth to begin with, is about to become even more complicated. Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is now threatening to filibuster every nominee on the floor unless the White House acts quickly on the nomination of Ellen Weintraub to a seat on the Federal Election Commission.
Democrat Weintraub is Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle's choice to replace Karl Sandstrom, whose term has expired. Sandstrom, also a Democrat, has been voting with the commission's three Republican members more frequently than McCain would like as the FEC has been writing the regulations under which McCain's campaign regulation legislation will be implemented.
There are two wrinkles that further complicate matters.
The second is that Weintraub, formerly a staffer for the House Ethics Committee, is currently a lawyer in Perkins Coie's Washington office. The D.C. office of the Seattle-based firm is believed by some Republicans to be the legal arm of a vast, left-wing conspiracy to bring down Republican leaders. Bob Bauer, the attorney who heads the firm's political law group, is though to be the legal mastermind behind many of the ethics complaints filled against former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., as well as the Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organization suit the Democrats lodged against House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, that was thrown out of court. According to Capitol Hill gossip sheet Roll Call, "This big-time Democrat represents House and Senate Democratic campaign committees and is close to House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt, D-Mo., and Senate Democratic Leader Thomas Daschle, D-S.D. He played key roles in crafting the Clinton impeachment strategy and has handled personal ethics troubles for Gephardt and Daschle."
