Who's McCain Really Keeping His Distance From?
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is making himself scarce for the National Republican Congressional Committee's annual fundraising award dinner with President Bush on June 18.
The Hill speculates that McCain is attempting to distance "himself from the man he wants to replace," but as we noted yesterday there's another attendee who McCain might want to avoid.
The dinner with President Bush is part of a two-day celebration for winners of the NRCC's "Republican Congressional Medal of Distinction." Springboro, Ohio, City Councilman Michael W. Hemmert will be one of the people accepting this distinction, despite two sets of drug charges (cocaine and marijuana) for which he's currently receiving treatment in lieu of conviction.
The NRCC declined to comment when we asked if Hemmert was still invited to the event.

Oh, come on. You really think McCain buys his Mylanta over the counter? He needs the hookup!

Andre: (giggle) I had to look up mylanta on google to get your joke. I gotta get more into drugs! I must confess I did know maryjane and cocaine (not personally of course).

Can you kindly tell me why the lily white guy gets a pass from the court when every last black kid gets soaked for carrying a bit of crack, and in a very disproportional sentence considering the amount of cocain involved in crack. but what the heck, this Bush bunch has no more surprises for us. We ahve already seen the most disgusting of his behaviors, his war mongering, his friends, and his money raising. and to think, he honors the druggie. Very two faced of Bush but oh, I forgot, he also walked when he used drugs so why am I surprised.
