Ralph Reed? Really? Has McCain Lost His Mind?

Right this minute, Ralph Reed, who had been repeatedly linked to the King of the Culture of Corruption, Jack Abramoff, is on CNN with Larry King and identified as a supporter of John McCain. I'm not kidding. Wasn't McCain saying today that he was going to get control of those evil lobbyists? And Reed is shilling for him on CNN? Really? Didn't the McCain campaign just have to do a dance around Reed's involvement in a Georgia fundraiser? Looks like Reed can raise the money and speak for the candidate. He fits right in.

Holy cow, just, holy cow.

psst...maybe it's an audition for a McCain cabinet post. Chief of Staff, perhaps?

Obama Links Reed to McCain

I'll say this for Obama, he's not doing a Kerry on the negatives. He's pushing back. Thank God.

By the Company We Keep

John McCain can't have it both ways-either he's the "original maverick" who "fought corruption in both parties" or he's Ralph Reed's cut-buddy. My mother frequently admonished me to be careful about who my friends were. "We are all," she said, "judged by the company we keep." I can't say that bit of wisdom always fell on welcoming teenage ears, but with time and maturity, I see that she was right. It begs the question-what is John McCain thinking, coming to Georgia to dine at a table set by none other than Ralph Reed?
