McCain Celebrated 70th Birthday With Anne Hathaway's Con Man Ex

John McCain has been hammering rival Barack Obama for being little more than a vapid "celebrity" and "elitist." But The Nation has obtained a photo revealing just how star-struck a straight-talking maverick can become when offered the chance to celebrate his birthday aboard a yacht filled with celebrities--even if one of those celebrity types turns out to be an A-list con man.

The photograph substantiates reports that in late August, 2006, McCain celebrated his 70th birthday aboard a yacht, the Celine Ashley, rented by A-list con man Raffaello Follieri and his then-movie star girlfriend Anne Hathaway.

This man is a fraud and, obviously, a student of Karl Rove.

Look closer My Friends because there is another connection with McCain, Raffaello Follieri and McCain's son who worked for one of the 11 banks that have gone under.
The question My Friends is how much financial exposure did the McCain's have in thier son's failed bank?

After 8 years of Republican DISASTER, lies, corruption, profiteering.

So who is going to go over the Keating 5 thing again? I know he was one of the 5 please explain the story. I think this is important.

[spartanmom]

I wondered this myself so I looked it up on Wikipedia. The other four of the Five were Dems so I don't think anyone is too eager to bring it up

[jjordan]

"then girlfriend, movie star Ann Hathaway,..." would have been clearer.

[yellowdawgdem]

Spread the word; This one hits bigger than it seems.

[Counterglow]

Aw, c'mon. If McCaiin was celebrating his 70th birthday, he must have been bouncing Hathaway's squeeze on his knee and changing his diapers. Jeez, when he had his 50th birthday, they were still chiseling "Best Wishes" into the walls of caves.

Senator John McCain sets into motion greatest confidence scheme in American political history.

McCain sells the American people a "Pig in a Poke".
While laughing, Senator McCain tells his view: "If ya just wrap it in fancy packaging with enough frills tied with ribbon, they'll buy anything."

LMAO...On a YACHT with a crook and an actress. How ELITIST can one get?

[Stagehnd1]

Right... Who's the celebrity??

[RENREVARD]

And Rick Davis who is shaking hands with felony man in the picture, today questioned Obama associations.

[THISTLE]

The Republicans are always attacking Hollywood, and here is creepy old McCain, celebrating
his birthday with Hollywood Elites and a con man. And the Republicans biggest hero, their
God - is a two-bit hack actor - named Reagan. And they even tried to bring that back with another
two-bit hack actor - named Thompson. McCain fits right in with con men.
And where was Cindy - she wasn't around on McCain's 70th birthday?
His body language with Cindy is disgraceful, he never helps her down stairs, walks in front
of her, and barely kisses her cheek. And he seems very uncomfortable standing next to her.
She could do a hell of a lot better - than the creepy old McCain.
