Bush is dumping the FEC commissioner who exposed McCain's campaign finance scam

One commissioner who now won't get re-nominated by President Bush is the guy who called McCain's scam: David Mason.

Mr. Bush is purging the current F.E.C. chairman, David Mason, presumably because he was responsible enough to challenge the funding machinations of Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign. Mr. Mason shocked his fellow Republicans by notifying Mr. McCain that he might run afoul of the law by switching from public funding to private donations once he secured the party’s nomination.

John McCain is a campaign finance criminal. He's scamming the public finance system -- and his new best friend, George Bush, is aiding and abetting the crime.

2. McCain

"When a candidate changes his position as a response to the politics of the moment and the press ignores it, he's lucky. When he changes his position and the press goes out of its way to say how principled he is for not changing his position, he's John McCain."
-- David Brock & Paul Waldman
