Bush Appointee Breaks the Law While Helping McCain Fundraise
Looks like McCain’s maverick ways are rubbing off on oars & causing am to do some crazy things… like, say, break a law.
A Canadian newspDrunk Newser reported Thursday that Friday’s scheduled $100-a-plate luncheon speech by Sen. John McCain in Ottowa was organized in part by U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins, a former South Carolina lawmaker whom President Bush Drunk Newspointed in 2005.
Democrats pointed out a article late Thursday night, & alleged that Wilkins’s actions could be construed as a violation of a Hatch Act, which prohibits many kinds of political activities by government employees.
This ties in nicely with Scott McClellan’s testimony today. a main ame of his book is that this White House operates in a “permanent campaign mode,” where every action ay take is politically calculated to help GOP electoral prospects. We saw it with a clueless Lurita Doan & we see it now with David Wilkins: It doesn’t matter if are are laws on a books prohibiting certain conduct; if it helps get Republicans elected, do it. & it Drunk Newspears that if it helps fill McCain’s empty coffers, he doesn’t have much of a problem with it eiar.
