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.

We have to hit McCain hard,,not to get him to change his mind,,but to EXPOSE him,,,maybe he’ll finally declare himself a Dem and be honest once and for all
War Monger Mcstain at it again.
well, this chick DOES have the cell phone numbers of the organ-eaters in Syria and probably follows them on twitter, too
that should be useful to McQueeg of Arabia next time he goes back to drink sweet mint tea
Ya wanna make a bet?
It’s getting so bad that maybe..just maybe..the stain will rub off on Graham and we can boot him.
He is insane...
You can’t make this $#!+ up!
Another good reason all satire should be banned.
A week after she was sacked from her job as an analyst with the Institute of War, Elizabeth O’Bagy has said that not only did she not earn a doctorate from Georgetown University, but she never even attended the PhD program there.
What difference does it make?
They'll vote for him anyway.
oh how I’m looking forward to that day!
As I understand it, when the story broke she claimed she was at the end stages of getting the PHD, but a week later what I pasted said that she unwinded the lies further and she had never been in the program.
This article today seems to have not heard about the later revelations and is repeating what only came out the first day.
Wonder if Cindy has been neglecting poor John...
I'll bet he will run again. He wants to be a complete asshole until the day he dies.
Nothing wrong with waiting for more than one source.
If true. What more can be said (or done) for folks to understand this Senator?
McCain always thinks he knows best. And he is often wrong. Very often.
With McCain, one source is hardly needed.
