McCain campaign manager Rick Davis was still receiving $15,000 per month from Fannie & Freddie up until last month

Aren’t you surprised?

Put on your surprise faces.

Presented without comment:

One of the giant mortgage companies at the heart of the credit crisis paid $15,000 a month from the end of 2005 through last month to a firm owned by Senator John McCain’s campaign manager, according to two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement.

The disclosure undercuts a remark [lie - ed.] by Mr. McCain on Sunday night that the campaign manager, Rick Davis, had had no involvement with the company for the last several years.

Mr. Davis’s firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the two people said.

John McCain is so far up the ass of everything that’s wrong with this country, it’s stunning.
