Regional campaign manager Doug Davenport and Republican convention chief Doug Goodyear departed after acknowledging having represented Burma. Eric Burgeson, who lobbies the federal government on energy issues, left Thursday. GOP consultant Craig Shirley parted ways with the campaign because of his ties to stophernow.com, an attack site created to target Sen. Hillary Clinton that is now aimed at Sen. Barack Obama.

Loeffler, a former Texas member of Congress, is a close, personal friend of McCain's and took over the fundraising last summer, when McCain's campaign was falling apart. But Loeffler's lobbying of Saudi Arabia and other foreign governments were revealed over the weekend.

3. About Charlie Black:

"Until recently, his top political adviser, Charlie Black, was the head of a Washington lobbying firm. Black retired from the firm to stay with the campaign."

Does anyone believe for an instant that Ol' Charlie didn't throw out his rollodex?

5. Oh gawd ... that man is like a cyst on my ass ... what are the chances he'll surface this cycle?

What a smarmy, oily little man he is.



That smile of his looks like one on a cartoon shark.
