Oh, and you can see McLame's solicitation to the Ambassador at this Wikileaks page.

Is this for real??

If this is true then McCain needs to be shot down out of the sky and forced to eat vietnamese food until he dies.

Unless it can be used to get rid of him, who cares. The guy has made a career out of turning one screw-up after another into success.

Churkin... Churkin... didn’t I just see his name in the obituaries?

This was posted on FB the other day. It only made others angrier with McCain.

Johnny Mac looked in Putin’s eyes and saw the letters $ $ $.

[sphinx]

Nothing to this. The attached letter is a very routine mass mail prospecting letter. Note that it solicits a very wide range of donations, starting at $35 and ranging up to $5,000. That indicates that it was mailed to a raw, untested list; a group of previous donors would be more tightly grouped by the amount of the ask. This is the kind of thing that goes out in waves, to two or three million of the candidate's closest friends at a time.

All that such a letter means is that the McCain campaign purchased a direct mail list that had a Russian name on it. It would be mildly interesting to know what list the Russian Ambassador had gotten himself on.

I’m not a McCain fan, but I’m sure millions of people received the same fund raising letter.

[apocalypto]

Any outrage yet from the Democrats? Or anybody?

[Wuli]

It is not what it seems.

It was a mass mailing, generic fund raising appeal sent to a New York City address, where the Russian happened to be living. Nine chances out of ten the address got swept up by a mass mailer working for the campaign, and no human or robot checked the names on the addresses with any list to filter out any names.

To me it’s like all the Obama and Hillary appeal letters I got as a registered Republican. I laughed. I bet the Russian did to, and Putin’s people expected their electronic logs went get hacked into a source that would make it public and embarrass McCain - whom I can’t stand.

McCain is a traitor.
