rbw1966 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/24/us/politics/w24davis.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement. The disclosure undercuts a statement by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years. Mr. Davis’s firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the people said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 $15,000 a month???!! And that's a "reduced salary." For "doing nothing," according to the McCain camp. Riiiiiight. The straight-talk express sure runs a tight ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'd love to hear Fairweather's take on this. He'd probably try to avoid the situation by attempting to redirect the conversation to Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Conway Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Fairweather's concerned that Chelsea Clinton cited pg 223 of "A concise history of capitalism in France" when in actually she was citing pg 225.
