McCain’s Cronies: Playing Unrepentant Footsie With Ralph Reed
Firedoglake —
... McCain knows exactly how extensive Reed's connections are, given that he chaired Indian Affairs when they investigated Jack Abramoff for using those same Reed connections to gin up faux outrage to help Abramoff shut down casino hopes for one tribe while he bilked a neighboring tribe dry.
