McCain Hit Up Russian Envoy For Cash

Politico:

On a day on which McCain campaign manager Rick Davis hinted that Obama was taking foreign money, the Russian Mission to the United Nations has released a standard-issue fundraising letter gone a bit astray: It was addressed to the Russian envoy to the U.N., Vitaly Churkin, at the mission's address, but without his title.

As the Russian newswire RIA-Novosti tells it:

Russia's permanent mission to the UN has received a letter from U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain asking for financial support of his election campaign, the mission said in a statement on Monday.

"We have received a letter from Senator John McCain with a request for a financial donation to his presidential election campaign. In this respect we have to reiterate that neither Russia's permanent mission to the UN nor the Russian government or its officials finance political activities in foreign countries," the statement said.

[castlerider]

Do you realize that if McCain put on a black robe-like outfit, put a light bulb in his mouth that lites he'd look just like Uncle Fester?

he's a walking Halloween costume character!!

[bluekatz]

If this is true the old B!tch is busted. He is pathetic and would sell his soul many times over if he could. What a Ph.u.c.k.i­.n.g loser.

This from the guy that hired a lobbyist for the Country of Georgia to work his campaign.
Nice.

I have received several fundraising letters from McCain, and so has my mom. Each time I get one, which includes a pre paid return envelope, I send him back a letter detailing the many reasons that I object to him, show how Barack Obama will be a better president, include any documentation that I can stuff into the envelope, place a Obama 08 sticker on it and drop it in the mail, with the comment 'thanks for the return envelope'

I hope he continues to ask for more money from me!

RAOTFL

I do that with all the junk mail people send me. If it has a return envelope that is pre-paid (actually they pay for it when they receive it), I take my name off the junk they sent me, stuff it in their envelope, and mail it back with a little note saying "I didn't ask for your junk, so you can have it back".

LMAO! Alas!!! what to do with my junk mail. I would just leave it in my mailbox until my mailman left a nasty note ordering me to clean it out. lol

[neocon666]

After "When Putin rears his ugly head..." from the moose hunter, McCain actually thinks the Russians would give him money? The Russian newspapers are already calling Palin a "screaming cow". This is real despiration -and I love it. Who's he going to hit up next, the Iranians?

[mairs]

Please Rachel, talk about this tonight! The MSM might cover it up.

[Just2stressed]

I find it hard to believe this story.

[SanityNowPlease]

you must be one of those undecided voters we keep hearing about.

[mairs]

Oh. My. Gosh. He publicly acts belligerent and war-mongering toward Russia but begs them for money behind our backs? He's playing both sides of the fence? You can't go any lower than this.

[DieHardObamaSupporter]

Well, let's see how quickly the surrogates drop the insinuations that Obama's contributions are tainted.

Macky, you should have never jumped into Russia's shizzle over Georgia. They are turning down shots of Vodka right now laughing at your lying arse.

[ramblingjohnny]

Well that would teach you not to spam that much!

[BCubedReg]

Why does McCain pal around with former communist regimes?

[honeydiva]

hahaha...t­hey are such a^ holes

[DieHardObamaSupporter]

The AP headline reads:

"Russians say 'nyet' to McCain fundraising appeal"
