Ashley Zais, Miss South Carolina, Hired By The McCain Campaign

Jonathan Martin over at Politico says he's gotten word from a "colleague" that McCain has hired beauty queen Ashley Zais, to be in charge of his interns. Martin wants everyone to make sure that Ashley Zais should not be confused with Miss Teen South Carolina, who is now a YouTube star for completely messing up an answer during the Miss Teen USA contest last August.

More about Ashley Zais from Politico:

Ashley Zais, a recent Wofford grad, will serve as McCain's intern coordinator at the campaign's headquarters.

She met McCain last year when the senator gave a speech at South Carolina's Newberry College, where her father is president. Mitchell Zais, a retired Army general, and McCain became friendly after Zais published a piece in 2006 critical of how Rumsfeld's Pentagon had handled the war.

Isn't it kind of fascinating how there'ss so many right-wing "family values" women who have no problem at all using their body to get ahead?

[NelsonR]

Ever notice that Republicans hire many types of women for many types of functions?
I will let you figure that one out but it is obvious. Do the right thing, write Iraqi John and send him information about women, he forgot and Joe traitor Lieberman isn't around to nudge him back into the present era.

John needs something to get him up.

Will she be briefing him on the differences between Shia and Sunni or just their geographical territories?

Somewhat sexist themes going on here.

An attractive woman can't be involved in politics? And if she is, it's in a Monica Lewinsky fashion?

Real progressive.

And Obama smokes the crack pipe in an alley. It's in the book of Hope.

Speaking of attractive women involved in politics, whatever happened to Vicki Iseman? Alive or dead?

It would appear many here think if you have beauty then no way you have brains. And since I'm sure you all believe you are intelligent then I guess you are one ugly bunch of posters too. No, I'm not a McCain supporter, far from it but it just bugs me when adults start talking like unpopular kids in the school yard.

McCain and a braindead beauty queen.

As they say,"Good minds think alike."

Looks as if Senator Johnny's "Monica Moment" nhas arrived !

This above is mostly a splendid collection of comments from the Liberal Mind. Read through them, study them, and know who votes Democrat.

No one should hire Miss South Carolina. Progressives have standards, they hate women who win beauty contests.

[Chas53]

I wonder if he refers to her as "My Friend"?

[sherylsworld]

Don't take this beauty to the White House, John, that's what ruined Bill.

Born in PA

With of course the exception that this one is actually beautiful to look at.

McCain likes the thin model types.

His first wife Carol, a beautiful model, was tragically disfigured in an accident while John was a POW. She didn't even tell him, afraid it would bring his morale down. He comes home to find her overweight, disfigured and on crutches, and soon takes up an affair with Cindy, a rich heiress. He dumps Carol and marries Cindy a month after his divorce is final.

LOL - John McCain and his bimbo-du-jour! Is this the replacement for his "honorable" lobbyist, Miss Vicki?

[Snowball]

Is McCain after the anorexic vote? This cheerleader gone wrong looks like she hasn't eaten solid food in a year or more.
