John McCain

Mavericky

TPM:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that McCain is set to hold a fundraiser next week with none other than Ralph Reed, the Christian right leader and former Abrmaoff business partner whose 2006 bid for lieutenant governor of Georgia was derailed by the publication of numerous e-mails describing how Reed could launder money from Indian tribes to make it appear as if he wasn't actually working for pro-gambling interests.

Will the barbecue media question him about this over and over? Will they show clips of Abramoff's black-hat perp walk next to video of McCain? No and no. Of course not.
