Sen. John McCain has hired Elizabeth O'Bagy, the Syria analyst in Washington who was fired for padding her credentials, The Cable has learned. She begins work Monday as a legislative assistant in McCain's office.
O'Bagy was a young but well-respected adviser at the Institute for the Study of War and had emerged quickly as an important voice among those arguing in favor of intervention in Syria. McCain and others had cited her work publicly before her nascent reputation collapsed when it was discovered that her claims to having a combined masters/PhD were false and that in fact she had not yet defended her thesis.

Like they didn't already have lying airheads in McCain's office? They actually thought they needed at least one more?

If this is true, He is giving every American the big finger. Why should someone be rewarded for lying? Damn, I wouldn’t dream of padding my resume. I put in a question to his office. Since I have NEVER heard back from my other questions, my guess I won’t hear back on this one either.

I wonder how many la raza operatives work for McCain and Flake that is another reason to not vote for them.
Get anyone else in who just hires ordinary people.

Maybe it’s a very good thing that McCain did not get elected. He may have started World War III. It seems like he wants the United States at war with every country, no matter what Actually, little ole maniacal John McCain has done much better then that. He is getting his junior senator to do the job for him.
