McCain To Hold L.A. Fundraiser

Weeks after John McCain mocked Barack Obama for raising money in Hollywood "with his celebrity friends," the Arizona Senator is slated to join his wife for a fundraiser on Los Angeles' Avenue of the Stars this Wednesday.

The McCain-Palin Victory California Leadership team is sponsoring the October 1 event at the Century Plaza Hyatt Regency in L.A. Supporters who bundle at least $250,000 receive entrance to a host committee dinner and private reception; others can attend the general reception for $1,000 per person (or $2,500 per person for a limited edition "McCain-Palin CA" lapel pin).

The event comes two weeks after McCain chided Obama for fundraising in southern California. "He talked about siding with the people just before he flew off for a fundraiser in Hollywood with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends," McCain told a crowd in Ohio. "Let me tell you, my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than right here with the working men and women of Ohio."

All told, the McCain event could be incredibly lucrative for the Senator's Victory Committee (his own campaign is currently operating off of public funds). No word yet who is attending - but don't expect Streisand to be on the list.

Stein he just had one about 2 weeks before Obama's. So who cared what they were protesting. They are established as hypocrites many times over.

Did anyone wonder if they long for Hollywood attention. Rea gan, Schwarze neg ger, Fred Thompson, just to name a few celebrity they worship at the feet of.

They actually vote and elect them as Presidents and stuff so why don't the just stop with the hypocrisy. We figure it was too much hatorade. Just jealous Obama has Bon Jovi, Barbra, and Will i am. He has Wilford Brimley and Chuck Norris thats all.

$ 1,500.00 for a lapel pin. Hell, Cindy keeps that in her change purse. This is so laughable - McCain caught once again acting like an idiot! Hey John, Wilfred brimley will have a nice bowl of oatmeal for you!

my god is there anything McCain does without following Barak Obama's lead then pretends he thought of it first?

[javaJimmy]

Will the adulter invite the first Mrs. McCain?
Will the adulteress invite her father's children from his first marriage?

This time, it's not about family values... it's about valuable($$$) families.

Man, I wish I had $1500 to spend on a lapel pin.

[janinei]

Think of the resale value on E-Bay!

[Jeff1958]

I'm thinking $1.50, shipping not included.

I'm pretty sure McCreepy is thanking his Friends, if the Party was Friday who would have shown? Hey maybe he could hire Ms. Fey as a sub on Thursday! She is ready!

McCain a hypocrite? Noooooo

[obamasOHangel]

I see that Cindy's name is listed first....I guess that's why supporters are asked to bundle $250k. I'm certain that Matt Lauer will be reporting this first thing Thursday morning - ((eyeroll)).

[ArmyCentrist]

Ted Nugent, Chuck Norris, Dean Cain, Kelsey Grammar (if his heart holds up) and John Voight....­wow, that sounds like the Razzies!

[pixy242a]

He should suspend his fundraising to go to Washington and settle the bailout mess !

[kre8tr]

Johnny Mack is a bigger hypocrite than Newt Gingrich.

It's a no vote......­DOW plunging

[white mende man]

DOW is plunging because they was a yes vote. they are trying to scare congress. after we bail them out watch the DOW go up over 1000 points.

McCain will say anything to win this election. He has no respect for the American public. He thinks we are morons who have the memory of a pea. Why else would he be pulling all the stunts he has pulled. And truthfully there are many americans who believe every word he says.

[lioness39]

Johnny Mac is so absolutely and in every way - NOT COOL!

[mixnmatch]

I wonder if McCain will be to busy getting ready for his shindig to vote in the Senate on Wednesday.
