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.

The best thing about this article is the link to look at her photos. Not sure what the rest of the story was about.

Perhaps it's a completely unheard of campaign strategy..­.Ol' John doesn't want the best or brightest that America has to offer--he wants the dimmest and most clueless..­..make him look like he knows what's going on. This means it will be a cakewalk for Jumpin' Joe Lieberman for that VP position.

McCain's latest Viagra motivated hire clearly indicates he is a gift to the Democrats that keeps on giving. No wonder Mrs Clinton is so nuts about McCain. Like her husband Bill, Grandpa McCain understands the importance of keeping his interns available and ready for anything.

all little south carolina girls are groomed for the pageants..­.like little jon benet ramseys
their mommas carry around their pageant photos in their purses
and they warn yankees who move to the area to not look a black man in the eyes because it will make them "want you."

Tavistock, Tavistock. Sex sells. Good choice Senator. Your colleagues will be so envious of you, walking around with piggy tingle all the time.

Cindy might dock his allowance for this hiring decision. He might be reduced to living on his Social Security benefits for awhile.

Grouchy Gramps likes the tall ones. Now that I think of it, next to him, they're all tall. His short stature is not very presidenti­al-looking -- another advantage Obama has over him.

Looks like I'm suffering from a case of stupid. I assumed this was the map girl. If she's smart, then I have no problem with the appointment.

Dirty old man!! LOL


There something really ironic about a beauty queen being in charge of interns

[CranialRectalLoopback]

Is she the next Mrs. McCain or this this an example of the quality of people he will hire in his administration. We've had 7 years of stupid, we don't need 4 more.

Take Pelosi off the table in 2008
Drown out Feinstein in 2012

I have been saying that McCain, had nothing going for him. I have to take that back like a lot of us dirty old men he has a good eye for the ladies.

A STEP UP

On doing nothing for health insurance,

Maintaining the wartime push,

Ignoring soaring oil prices,

McCain is Busher than Bush.
