McCain's campaign staff is rife with lobbyists. But, apparently, McCain
finally found lobbyists who crossed the line. That line is pretty far
out there -- representing a brutal military regime that is now letting
hundreds of thousands of its citizens die. Over the weekend, he lost two
key staffers because they represented the Myanmar regime:
Doug Daven****t, the regional campaign manager for the mid-Atlantic
states, founded the DCI Group's lobbying practice and oversaw the
contract with Myanmar in 2002.
"Doug has tendered his resignation and we have accepted it," Jill
Hazelbaker, McCain's communications director, wrote in a e-mail.
He joins former DCI Group CEO Doug Goodyear, who resigned yesterday
from the post of convention CEO after Newsweek re****ted that DCI was
paid more than $300,000 to represent Myanmar's ruling junta.
Absent the typhoon, these guys would still be working for McCain.
