In Connecticut that year, when a tribe was looking to open the state's third casino, staff members on the Indian Affairs Committee provided guidance to lobbyists representing those fighting the casino, e-mail messages and interviews show. The proposed casino, which would have cut into the Pequot's market share, was opposed by McCain's colleagues in Connecticut.

Er, I don't think that story was about him playing craps LAST NIGHT.

Man, that is a lot of words.

Can someone just tell me who to hate?

staplermofo: Can someone just tell me who to hate?

You're supposed to hate people who gamble.

I'm not going to look up whatever the hell that means, just give me names. Preferably short, preferably American.

staplermofo: Man, that is a lot of words.

Can someone just tell me who to hate?

Sure. Hate the person who is hypocritical about "morality," who lies, and who has run a general election campaign that has lurched from one stunt to another.

Easy enough. Rick Davis.

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains
And a wheel in perpetual motion
And they follow the races and pay out the gains
With no show of an outward emotion

And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west
Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise
And not all the king's horses and all the king's men
Have prevented the fall of the unwise

And they think it will make their lives easier
For God knows up till now it's been hard
But the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your whole world depends
On the turn of a friendly card

But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine
As he enters inside the cathedral...

"McCain was betting at a casino he oversaw as a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee"

"Indian" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Savage-American", please.

Fark Rick Davis!

If he's not, he should be. That kind of vile hatred for people is a must when working customer service.

well he is the maverick and what better place for a maverick than behind a card table? Besides for five and a half years the only gambling he was able to do was on whether or not the rat he had just caught and eaten would give him rabies or not!

hey, syndee wouldn't give me my allowance - gotta pick up some tv money somehow.

He got in his time machine and gambled until 2:30am back in 2000 during the current banking crisis. What?

And you know, at least McCain finally figured out that he wasn't wanted in DC. How long did it take?

"jellybean-spitting" just goes too far. Zombie Reagan will visit you tonight.

It's rare to see a submitter fail so profoundly.

Won thousands, eh? In a casion he oversaw, w/ the lobbyist present?


Wait for the bounce!

Political stunts are priceless for the GOP. They'll spin the "McCain cares" horse shiat until the cows come home.

scruffy1: well he is the maverick and what better place for a maverick than behind a card table? Besides for five and a half years the only gambling he was able to do was on whether or not the rat he had just caught and eaten would give him rabies or not!



Agrees.

it is now my goal to run into mccain when i'm out gambling

i'll even switch from mohegan to foxwoods if that ups my odds

I'd much rather have McCain gamble his own money then mine. His "trip" to Washington was nothing short of pointless.

staplermofo: Man, that is a lot of words.

The article wasn't written that well. I have to award extra FAIL points to the moderators who, after it was clear that the headline was about as wrong as could be, decided to let it go green.

Nice jorb.

Eskimos, it's always eskimos.

So let me get this straight. We are in the midst of the biggest crisis since... and he's out gambling with a lobbyist? How's that going to go over with the base? This guy is a dope.

lasercannon: Eskimos, it's always eskimos.

hey hey HEY Todd Palin is part Eskimo and our group already has dibs on hating him.

Rascal King: In Connecticut that year, when a tribe was looking to open the state's third casino, staff members on the Indian Affairs Committee provided guidance to lobbyists representing those fighting the casino, e-mail messages and interviews show. The proposed casino, which would have cut into the Pequot's market share, was opposed by McCain's colleagues in Connecticut.

Er, I don't think that story was about him playing craps LAST NIGHT.

Yes, this is fark. Headlines should never be misleading even for humorous effect. Sheesh!

Point of TFA for those who don't want to read the whole thing. McCain has ties to the gaming industry (both tribal owned casinos and non-tribal owned). Working as the Chairman of Indian Affairs, McCain helped to bring about legislation in the late 80's that facilitated the growth of casinos on tribal land. McCain also helped to investigate Jack Abramoff and TFA raises the fact that those close to McCain (i.e. Rick Davis) seized on Abrabaoff's demise by filling the void to become a new set of lobbyists for the tribes. These new lobbyists were reaping in lucrative fees from the Casinos. McCain's lobbyist buddies were fierce competitors of Abramoff, and with Abramoff out of the way, new profits have been made off the tribes to the tune of roughly 1,000,000 a month, at one point. However, as Chairman of IA, McCain has also helped to ensure that some of the pro-tribal gaming legislation wouldn't adversely impact some of his executive buddies in Vegas.

/anywho, pretty interesting read.
//i need to become a lobbyist for tribes, people make bank!
///apparently it also pays to know McCain if you want some good shiat to befall your casino.

Could I ask a question?

Every now and again, we get a picture of someone with some kind of green sparkly crap all over their chin.

This is a meme of what I know not what.

What is it?

staplermofo: Preferably short, preferably American.

Gary Coleman.

Failmitter this night at the casino happened back in 2000. Plus this article is weak cause it doesn't mention Jack Abrahamoff ties to McCain.

////oh and the article had nothing to do with McCain playing craps last night.

And the answer as to who should you hate: Rick Davis if only because he is a smarmy fark who makes gobs and gobs of money as a lobbyist. Wasn't he the guy who was getting $15,000 from fannie/freddie as recently as last month for doing nothing?

McCain will take the US Budget and bet it all on the passline.

/wonder if this is the plan to avoid raising taxes
//let it ride McCain, let it ride
