Six Degrees Of Anne Hathaway
Looks John McCain likes to associate with con-men!
And as for calling Barack Obama just a "celebrity", it seems McCain is a fan of socializing with those few celebs that actually like him as well.
So how is McCain connected to a con-man?
Well, turns out that he hung out with Anne Hathaway and her lying ex, Vatican Chief Financial Officer Raffaello Follieri.
Two years ago, in late August, McCain celebrated his 70th birthday on the Celine Ashley yacht.
The yacht was rented at the time by con-man Follieri. There's even a photograph taken in August of '06 that shows McCain boarding the yacht heading towards Follieri and Hathaway.
Also onboard and socializing with Follieri was Rick Daivs, who's McCain's top aide and co-manager of his campaign.
And, just a few months after that night, Follieri got closer ties to McCain by retaining Davis Manafort, which is Davis' very well-connected lobbying firm in Washington. He also offered "Davis both an investment deal and help in securing the Catholic vote for McCain's presidential bid."
Follieri's ties to the Clintons and their friend Ron Burkle have been well documented, but his connection with McCain has been overlooked until now.
So, now the questions are: why had Follieri rented that yacht for the month and docked it at Montenegro. why would McCain have chosen to spend his birthday with Follieri and some politicians aboard that ship.
According to journalists in Montenegro, reports were that McCain was in Montenegro to meet with "friends from Florida" on the yacht.
Aides for McCain later confirmed the meeting with Follieri, but claim it was "entirely social and nothing came of it," and described Follieri as a "passing acquaintance."
According to an Italian reporter Claudio Gatti, who investigated Follieri for eighteen months, "Follieri's proposal to Davis had two dimensions to it–first, as an investment opportunity for Davis's fund; but secondly, there was the political dimension, in which Follieri offered to help deliver Catholic votes to McCain."
Shady, shady.

Re: akm – yeah
Re: secondcoming –
Yeah, Americans, because that's what we're becoming ever since Bush and the Repubs took over.
Are seriously talking about Mccains associations, when Obama is connected to bill ayers, Lewis Farcan, Rev. Wright, need I really go on. What worse a guy who bounced some checks or a guy who admitted to bombing the pentagon and who on 9/11 was quoted saying, "He Wished he could have done more." Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Re: kickyourass666 – How does this have anything to do with race. Why can't you just disagree with his politics. Yeah the guy was in the lead all the way up untill now and all these people are still so racist. Get over yourself and grow up.
Re: honey97431 – What are talking about, he is for partial birth abortion the worst kind. He also voted no on a law that would allow doctors to give medical attention to baby that weren't killed properly during an abortion procedure.
Re: America The Beautiful – So you have to be the same age as someone to be associates with them, In that case i'm pretty sure this whole McCain thing can be thrown out the window. Obama and Ayers participated in the million dollar march together, told several speeches with eachother and also were quouted Obama: "a friendly relationship with eachother"
Obama2008…Out with the old & In with the NEw
This is a story? What's next? I spent my 25th birth day at a denny's is that a scandal too? this is ridiculous
Thanks for INFO!
it's so lame how perez pin points mccain as 'shady' because he happened to be on a boat with a shady man. hey perez- why don't you report on obamas scandalous dealings with rezko? oh ya, cause you won't bad mouth your own political party.
perez. i would seriously be careful of starting the 'shady, shady' rumors, if i were you.
im sure youve already heard the 'shady' rumors surrounding your buttboy, Obama.
so please, if youre gonna report one side, report the other.
i dont think that perez realizes the damage hes doing to his own party.
every single time he makes an accusation in mccain or palin, it makes us highlight the same in obama. if hes gonna start making comments on how shady mccain is..then he should have been aware that his post would highlight obama's shady friends. not so smart, perez. your little tactic to smear mccain is backfiring. watch out.
Re: MeowMix67 –
Your ignorance both frightens me and motivates me to start campaigning for
regulated breeding. Only a true republican still holds on to the DEBUNKED muslim rumor, and only a true republican assumes that anyone NOT for their Dinosaur/Vagina ticket is a liberal. I sincerely hope you are in the highest of tax brackets and will benefit from 8 MORE YEARS of Republican Leadership.
Re: Stevie D. –
I think you are missing the point. All of the questions raised about OBama in the beginning are now being raised about McCain. Perez isn't hurting the party by showing this information. He's educating, if anything. EVERY cristism put toward the Obama campaign is now facing McCain/Woman (Palin)
and it speaks to the fact that Republicans have never quite learned or understood the meaning of "IRONY". They can throw out punches, but run to cry when they get hit back. Let's take it back to the IMPORTANT ISSUES.
Obama 08!!
McCain is a hypocrite and a liar.
obama obama obama obama obama
Perez, you need to take a step back and think about this crazy beesh Hathaway. Okkk, the girl is a dumb azz fa realz…for 5 years and like a year's worth of media drama she turned the other way. STOOPIT and spineless. I don't respect her and she isn't exactly attractive in person though the camera does love her mucho so I do not get what your deal is with loving her so much. I don't like her and I think she's a bimbo and pathetic to say and to expect any of us to believe the rug was pulled out from under her wide ass. I mean puhhleassssse. She's a emotional dizaster that needs to get a spine and a life. She was all sob sob wah wah I realized I didn't have a life. Ughhhhh, talk about crack is wack, crazy is as crazy does and she is a crazy beeshhhhh who should just disappear for a while so we can forget what a loser she is.
Re: CreativeOne – Don't you just love how fanatic Liberals (not ALL liberals, mind you) will do ANYTHING possible to try and make someone look bad? Maybe if they spent more time researching political platforms and historical references, they'd be able to make wise choices politically.
