boys network

"But it sounds like he got a little carried away, because yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s President, he’ll take on the – quote – “ol’ boys network” in Washington. I am not making this up. This is someone who’s been in Congress for twenty-six years – who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign – and now he tells us that he’s the one who will take on the ol’ boy network. The ol’ boy network? In the McCain campaign, that’s called a staff meeting."

Apparently the National Enquirer is following a story that Palin had an affair with her husband’s business manager. Easy to dismiss them — except that they were on target with John Edwards’ baby mama Rielle. It’s hard to believe that McCain, who had six months — longer than most candidates — to vet and choose a running mate, chose a tabloid star.
