The LA Times is already reporting this so it wont be long before CNN and MSNBC will be reporting this. Its very damaging to McCain. Looks like some people are trying to cover their tracks.

Was Russian Tycoon Oleg Deripaska on that boat in Montenegro for McCain's 70th birthday, the one with the lobbyist Davis and the Italian scammer/money launderer Raffaello Follieri?

We have a national security scandal on our hands, folks, if McCain is tainted with scammer/money launderer money-influence in connection with Russian-casino peddlers.

LINK: http://latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-na-vaticanscam11-2008sep11,0,5421278.story (broken link)

Raffaello Follieri agreed not to appeal any sentence of up to five years and three months in prison for his plea to wire fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. Sentencing was set for Oct. 3.

OMG! Is this the OCTOBER surprise people have been mentioning!
Did it arrive at 9:30?

I know this was just a mistake on McCain's part.. but after all the crap I see on CD (the usual Barack terrorist, friends with genocidal maniacs in Kenya).. you gotta chuckle..
