McCain Hires Controversial Syria Analyst Elizabeth O'Bagy
The Cable ^ | 9/27/13 | Shane Harris

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.

Typical GOP thinking.

1. Reward al Qaeda for murdering Americans.

2. Reward corruption by covering it up.

3. Reward resume fraud.

4. And don’t forget to impose RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. While we’re at it, let’s recall Cornyn, Graham and McConnell!

McConnell is up for re-election in 2014. He may have met his Waterloo on this issue.

Is he sleeping with her?
Is he getting money from the same Syrian “rebel” front group that she is?
Or is he just plain crazy?

Well I'm sure she was hired solely for her steller credentials just like all young, nubile female staffers in Washington...
