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. Click here to see more photos of Ashley Zais.

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.

Seriously people, do you really think Old Man McCain could get it up -- even WITH Viagra -- to have his way with this young woman? Puleeeeeze. Get REAL !

[combatveteran]

The surge is working. No the surge IS working. Beleve it or not.

[axt113]

He hired her because if he does win president he wont need Cindy anymore, so he'll be on to his third wife

Dream on! Mrs. McCain is an heiress of a beer company. Whose money do you think he is spending??? Cindy is not going anywhere. But then again, what POTUS has not dallied with someone other than their wife????

[cplKlyde]

Someone get that woman a sammich. Oh yea Cindy hearing footsteps?

[whatchamean]

John likes his girls no doubt and this will be coming out in the general. Bill was a piker when it comes to nailing the ladies compared to Johnson McLaid.

What's more quizzical is that the McCain staff hired the wrong beauty queen to begin with, as Miss Teen South Carolina's answers seemed so much more in line with his philosophy...of course, John would have just taken a swung at the emcee, if blindsided with too difficult a question.

[utopianinfenix]

I'm not much of a swunger, obviously.

Anyone else notice that most bodybuilders and beauty pageant-type people tend to be right-wingers? I guess the right wing is the only place to go when you've totally embraced exaggerated gender stereotypes. Unfortunately, this will only enhance McCain's appeal to US youth, whose brains have been shrivelled by a lifelong diet of infotainment hosted by Barbies like this woman.

They live in a bubble...... in a fake world. Republicans? Yeah.... sounds right.

[provgrays]

Many beautiful people are right wingers because their looks don't obligate them to actually have to think.

[ddog323]

Ah, a truer statement may never have been written. Bravo!

[ddog323]

Actually, beauty leads to shallow, and Republicans are all shallow, money hungry, selfish pr*cks.

It's a perfect match.

Some of them also sing really well. Who could forget " Let The Eagles Soar" or what ever the name is? You know, the classic by Ashcroft? It's on YouTube still, I think, and it is hilarious.................without a doubt something you will go back to over and over, especially when you're really desperate for a laugh.

With the crisis our nation is in, that could be on an hourly basis.

My first thought when I saw this headline, was, hire her to DO WHAT??? Then I remembered that intern that NO ONE HAS SEEN OR HEARD FROM SINCE THAT STORY BROKE..........
What was her name? Issen or something like that.

Beautiful sunset approaching the Gulf of Mexico............blessed evening, and don't forget to bless our troops or send them good vibes. You wouldn't know there was an INVASION GOING ON if you listen to the talking head, MSM.

Many beautiful people are in Hollywood, and are usually Democrats. Money raised by Barack Obama is mostly come from Hollywood's beautiful people.

Back in the sixties the beautiful people weren't THAT kind of beautiful, and the only notoriety was the kind that got you into jail like the Manson girls. Nowadays, with website advertizers, a celeb like Paris Hilton makes millions from just being a colossal f-u.

I wonder if the Zais' have any connection to the Hensley's of Az liquor distributor fame. Cindy's folks. Or Kemper Marley. James Hensley was convicted of cooking the books while in the employ of Marley, and some suppose that this led to his distributorship. He and his brother also have connections to the racing industry, which was mob-influenced at that time. McCain will never be thoroughly vetted on his good fortune. His money backing has some deep mob roots. just do some checking on James, and Kemper, and Don Bolles, while you're at it.

Big Bro media won't take you there.

She's like..umm...kinda...in charge of... edumacating, and making sure he has lead in his pencil. After I get my Norplant and mustache waxed. And then I thought, if at the end of our hundred years in Iraq, our troops are gonna be like, way older than Johnnie.

[in4success]

ahhhhhh -- so he's going for the: "such as...and" vote.

heh

[PennLawyer]

But. . . .but... . . she told the beauty contest judges:
"Ashley will graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and a minor in religion. She would like to take a mission trip to Africa and then pursue a career as a major events planner. "

She was born in 1987 - that makes her 21 years old - completely inexperienced in supervising anyone, as well as completely inexperienced at political campaigning. But by god, her daddy was a general, so she knows how to take orders with no backtalk. And at 21, SHE won't be shoveling makup on like a "c___". Johnny just hates it when women do that!

Who said McCain was led-around by his, Dick chaney??

[utopianinfenix]

Do you think he has a piercing with chain attached? Oh, chaney, not........
....nevermind.

"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."

Miss Teen South Carolina was actually their first choice, but not many of them had any maps. They are still looking for her however as they feel she would be an excellent choice for a McCain speechwriter.

[batchick]

Obviously he likes attractive, younger women.

At least someone in the McCain camp will be for "world peace" though, right? :)

[nevergiveup]

Who cares what a beauty queen does. McCain is McLame.

This site is now totally dysfunctional. Whatever you did to your search engine, has ruined the ability to get any story I want to read.

HuffPoLamo.

You folks are as bad as FOX, THE WORLD tabloid and my own dying, local newspaper.

HuffPo has entered the Land of MSM--death is nigh.

[Gilda]

Does these mean she will have the interns putting vaseline on their teeth, walking in heels while wearing swimsuits, and practicing their ventriloquism?

[DesertLight]

This just in. Eliot Spizter has now joined the McLame campaign.

[in4success]

tff!

[lvdragonlady]

I wonder what his wife thinks about this?
