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.

That guy’s an enemy of the Citizens and a friend of the State.
Sadly many of us do believe it. Liars stick together.
Absolutely incredible. It’s so incredibly stupid that it makes one wonder whether McCain is a Manchurian Republican.
Seriously, how can one explain this? Probably Alzheimer’s.
And paying her with tax payer’s money. He’s getting to be just like his bro. He loves sticking our noses in it.
She told McLame (D) she had a PHD from Harvard, and he believed her.
It did't have to be this way; I think he's some sort of iconoclast or someone who doesn't want to be a member of any group that will have him. Anyway, it's impossible to make sense of the irrational.
That sounds much worse than just awaiting to do a dissertation defense.
She’s much worse than a known liar. She is an academic fraud, among the lowest forms of life.
When it was subsequently discovered that O’Bagy had not received a doctorate as she had claimed, she was fired from the Institute of War, although her employers were still under the impression that she had attended the course and had simply not completed her disseration.
Last night, however, the controversial analyst admitted that she had not even attended the PhD program in Georgetown at all.
She told the Daily Beast she was only enrolled in a master’s program at the university and had applied to join the MA/Ph.D course but was never accepted.
And deserve what they get....
Not a Muzzie but a Muzzy-loving collectivist!
All that torture and brainwashing by the NVA is really kicking in well these days.
Is that picture real? If it is McLame is just...gone.
One would think this administration has hired all the fakes and liars out there but guess not.
