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.

Isn't it kind of fascinating how there'ss so many right-wing "family values" women who have no problem at all using their body to get ahead?

[NelsonR]

Ever notice that Republicans hire many types of women for many types of functions?
I will let you figure that one out but it is obvious. Do the right thing, write Iraqi John and send him information about women, he forgot and Joe traitor Lieberman isn't around to nudge him back into the present era.

[javaman]

aka wife #3

[Rocky4356]

John needs something to get him up.

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

Will she be briefing him on the differences between Shia and Sunni or just their geographical territories?

[laxmatt]

Somewhat sexist themes going on here.

An attractive woman can't be involved in politics? And if she is, it's in a Monica Lewinsky fashion?

Real progressive.

[MoonlightBlue]

It would appear many here think if you have beauty then no way you have brains. And since I'm sure you all believe you are intelligent then I guess you are one ugly bunch of posters too. No, I'm not a McCain supporter, far from it but it just bugs me when adults start talking like unpopular kids in the school yard.

[gurukalehuru]

Speaking of attractive women involved in politics, whatever happened to Vicki Iseman? Alive or dead?

[jbsouth]

And Obama smokes the crack pipe in an alley. It's in the book of Hope.

[jhamm1]

McCain and a braindead beauty queen.

As they say,"Good minds think alike."

[gd7277467]

Looks as if Senator Johnny's "Monica Moment" nhas arrived !

[Rcoke]

This above is mostly a splendid collection of comments from the Liberal Mind. Read through them, study them, and know who votes Democrat.

[Stevelagain]

No one should hire Miss South Carolina. Progressives have standards, they hate women who win beauty contests.

[Chas53]

I wonder if he refers to her as "My Friend"?

[sherylsworld]

Don't take this beauty to the White House, John, that's what ruined Bill.

Born in PA

[Tyrione]

With of course the exception that this one is actually beautiful to look at.

[zizyphus]

McCain likes the thin model types.

His first wife Carol, a beautiful model, was tragically disfigured in an accident while John was a POW. She didn't even tell him, afraid it would bring his morale down. He comes home to find her overweight, disfigured and on crutches, and soon takes up an affair with Cindy, a rich heiress. He dumps Carol and marries Cindy a month after his divorce is final.

[BWonka]

LOL - John McCain and his bimbo-du-jour! Is this the replacement for his "honorable" lobbyist, Miss Vicki?

[Snowball]

Is McCain after the anorexic vote? This cheerleader gone wrong looks like she hasn't eaten solid food in a year or more.

[Janet Carter]

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

[Lane]

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.

[utopianinfenix]

I'm not much of a swunger, obviously.

[utopianinfenix]

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.

[colibri1]

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.

[provgrays]

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

[utopianinfenix]

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.

[Alessan]

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

[brokenarrow]

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.

[utopianinfenix]

Hey, BTW, I saw Ashcroft's book at the Dollar Store, lots of them, right next to the coloring books.

[ddog323]

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

It's a perfect match.

[ddog323]

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

[Toonadude]

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

[ChicagoKid]

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!

[vat6948]

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.
