Do you get the impression that the RNC is having trouble figuring out how to spin the fact that John McCain is teaming up with Ralph Reed for a fundraiser? Is this the best they could come up with?
RNC spokesman Alex Conant said, “It’s laughable Democrats would try to make this a political issue, considering John McCain led the Abramoff investigations and has a record of fighting to reform Washington.”
Ummm … that is kind of the point. McCain and the RNC are trying to portray him as a crusader “fighting to reform Washington,” and yet here he is going to a fundraiser with Reed, who was directly implicated in the Abramoff investigation that McCain led.
The only thing laughable is the RNC’s pathetic attempt to dismiss the obvious hypocrisy at work.
