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.
"Elizabeth is a talented researcher, and I have been very impressed by her knowledge and analysis in multiple briefings over the last year," McCain told The Cable in a statement. "I look forward to her joining my office." McCain's office said there would be no further comment on the matter.

I searched and did not...that's not true, I didn't search first. I've been multitasking today and thought it was new.
Carry on.

His Master Obama ordered him to hire this woman. Otherwise, John might get ‘talked about’ on twitter by the white house lapdogs, might be publically DIS-invited to Candy Crowley’s Birthday Party and After Party, and he couldn’t deal with that at all.

Isn’t it clear to the voters of AZ that McCain has lost it?That is immaterial. He's WAY past anything the voters could do even if they all wanted him out. He leaves when he wants to or when God decides his part is over.

The Keating skater skates again.
The fact that he was not prosecuted should have been a big enough clue that he's not actually a Republican.

I tried last primary. I voted for JD. The Republican Establishment flooded McCain with money.
