Heartbreaking, STUNNING Shakeup Occurs In McCain Campaign…

CLICK TO ENLARGE - Image courtesy of USNews.Com Minor children and Far-Right religious “morals” wackos; we suggest that you avert your eyes and stop reading this article NOW. This latest breaking news out of the McCain camp is NOT for the “squeamish”, NOR is it “ready for prime-time”…

Top Aides Leave McCain Camp

By Dan Balz and Anne E. Kornblut

In the mid-1990s, years before Sen. John McCain officially launched his first bid to become president, it was John Weaver who convinced the senator that he had all the ingredients…”

Weaver — a lanky, fidgety Republican strategist with a deceptively low-key Southern drawl… architect of the “Straight Talk Express.”… the senator’s right-hand man… would join McCain… in his hotel room to help him comb his hair. …”

(Snip!)

“… On Tuesday, McCain parted ways with his longtime aide…”

(Snip!)

“… McCain expressed dissatisfaction …”

(Snip!)

“… McCain said… you stand up… move forward… not… be timid or… shy away…”

(Snip!)

“… In a brief encounter… McCain sought… Weaver and… he said… “We will always remain close” … ”

(Snip!)

“… the … two figures… shared… passionate… emotional… unthinkable… ”

(Snip!)

“… action on the ground each day… ”

(Snip!)

“… Weaver took it as a personal affront. During a… train… swing later that year, … supposedly reconciling, Weaver mischievously snatched up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich …”

(Snip!)

“… “They’ve had a very close personal relationship,” said Howard Opinsky, another longtime McCain insider. “It was born out of all the time they spent together, and the respect they had for one another. John’s loyalty to McCain has been unsurpassed.” …” – The Washington Post

WOW. Not that I’m sad the McCain camp is enroute to sure disaster, but my heart goes out to these two guys in hopes they may be able to patch things up and at least keep their publicly-stated, shared committment to “remain friends”. These breakups are always tough, but thank God there are no children involved in this particular “domestic disturbance” in GOP Land…
