Six Degrees Of Anne Hathaway
Filed under: Politik > Anne Hathaway > John McCain
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.

Follieri may have made the offer, but obviously McCain was wise and passed. This is just a passing meeting and I thought you liked and respected Anne Hathaway. So if she was able to be tricked by Follieri for years, doesn't it say a lot about how good of a con artist he is and not how sneaky you think McCain is? I like McCain. He is a good man with our country's best interest at heart.
MCCAIN/PALIN '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
might as well drop out now and save the money
Shame on Him!
*OBAMA 08*
Re: Gossip_Girl32 – you are an idiot.
I kept saying he was a douche
!
You can't be mad at Senator McCain on this one. He barely knows where he anymore. "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. What'd you say sonny?"
Oh Perez STFU!!!! Enough of this trash talking McCain wether you like it or not this man will be you Commander in Chief hahahaha hopefully he deports your ass hahahahaha

Oh yeah !
MCCAIN IS GOING DOWN!
OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA!!!
OMG, get over it osama i mean obama is losing no matter what crap u try to find out on mccain, plus why do u defend him so much, are they paying you, and on a day like today 9/11 is when we should condone osama more his people caused so much heartache. grow up perez before u lose all your fans.
I think we need to dig deeper into this
FUCK republicans…. why are they so scared of a black man??? By the way ..where's that homo Andy27's comment on this one?? Gay republican fucktard…
Shady McCain….Shady!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08/'12
Re: CreativeOne – By your logic, either way he shouldn't be running this country. Either he was conned or he is the con. Don't want that in these perilous times!
See Perez! This is why I love you. You are smart. Tehre was no reason in the world for McCain to spend his 70th birthday on a yacht in Montenegro with Follieri and also have his top aides there, too? You do know McCain was one of the Keating Five in the late 1980's savings and loan scandal? That was about investments and bank failures, too. He is so sleazy. I don't trust him or his drugged up wife Cindy. Oink!
WOW Perez! You better mind your P's & Q's you are about to fuck yourself out of a job with all these politics!!!!!
WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED!
Obama08…put some color in the White House.
Re: JERMAINE – hello, gorgeous!! Anymore room in that hot-tub? We could plan a voter registration drive in there….
Re: priscy0416 – stfu you racist cunt.
NO!! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE MCCAIN HAS ANY SHADY CONNECTIONS OR ANY SHADY DOINGS!! The man is a war veteran. War veterans are perfect. He is God's choice to run this country. George W Bush was America's greatest gift to the world. Now McCain gets to continue that amazing progress. All those people who are losing their homes, jobs and shit are lazy anyways.
You're grasping at straws.
McCain/Palin '08. Count the days Peresito.
Jason 1010,
You sound like one of those lazy asses you referred to.
Just like Obama's "passing associations" with the likes of Rezko and Ayers!!!! Uh huh! What is worse? Funny how the media doesn't talk about the money Obama took for his home in Chicago!
Re: JERMAINE –
OOOOh, I've got my mask on but I can't find my snorkel!
Re: ihatehertoo –
Have to say it crossed my mind after I saw that I was… But I fought the urge!!!
Re: jason1010 – LOL God bless irony.
Obama has ties to, and even stayed at the house of, a known terrorist. Why don't you report on that! McCain/Palin '08!!!!
My husband was on the USS Independence in 1975 and met McCain. I don't know what McCain's station was at that time, but was had to have been pretty high ranking because all of the seaman were brought out to salute him. My husband told me at the time he was barely able to walk, all hunched over and limping, and his arms were tightly wrapped by his side and his arms curled up like a dianasour's. And he said when they saluted him, he couldn't even raise his arm an bit, but instead bowed his head down to his curled up, crippled arm. My husband says he will never forget the absolute look of total happiness that man had on his face to be on that US craft, but at the same time had a look that said: don't think about fuckin' with me.
Re: NonCYboY – That's cause I'm already rotating on it, now GIT…I saw him first!!
are you kidding me! Perez do you ever blog about how Obama hangs out with anti Americans and terrorists. You are ignorant and fail to report fairly on both sides. It is sad but true that the media is so left and making it impossible for people, especially youth, to get the real facts. This story is ridiculous and so are you Perez you have pushed it too far this time and lost a loyal reader of three years. Make this campaign about what matters, policies, and not about scandals and jabs. And it makes me sick you report so many negative things about Palin's children!! Do you ever discuss how both McCain and Palin's children are protecting YOU and America in the war. Start reporting fairly
Please, like McCain even needs any help securing the Catholic vote. I'm Catholic, and let me tell you right now, there is no way in hell Obama is getting any Catholic votes. He supports homosexuality and abortion(actually, I'm not clear on this one if he does or not, is anyone?). Catholic people are very conservative, and Obama is very liberal. If anything, Catholics will vote for McCain just because the don't want to vote for the liberal Obama.
Re: Uker –
For having an opinion? No dear, you are the idiot.
Re: kickyourass666 – Wow, you are obviously intelligent. No one is scared of Obama, especially not because of his race. Republicans are not liberal, so why would they want a liberal president.
Another distraction… GO MCCAIN!
Re: ugly step sister –
Jason1010 was obviously a democrat being sarcastic.
the vatican is illuminati reptilian just like mccain
Re: Penelope Palin –
Do the tilt-a-whirl girl! lol!
Actually, I realize Jermaine's straight–but he's still eye candy!
Re: babybalooga19 – Most Atheists I've met were former Catholics.
Re: babybalooga19 – Well, you are not the only one who is not clear. Obama has not clearly stated his stance on anything. He is a racical liberal, we know that. As far as abortion, he does support that. As far as homosexual rights, I would say no.
It's too bad so many people are so biased in their political views. Mystic Twins (.com) predict that McCain will win in a very unbiased analysis.
REALLY SHADY:???? ARE YOU PEOPLE BLIND?????
LOCK AT OBOMBA'S AQUINTANCES….TALK SHADY…
Now you fucking liberals have him guilty by association? If you want the continued freedom to be a bunch of bleeding heart whiney ass ACLU loving piss heads while you worship as you please or don't please and spew your shit on sites like this then vote for McCain..if you want your weak lame tree hugging asses wearing burka's and praying to mecca after al qaeda pisses all over this country again after they stop laughing their asses off at us for voting on a wanna be muslim then vote for Barack Osama
Re: NonCYboY – but even a str8 pin can be bent. Or was that bent over…?
OldCane is a FRAUD. He's very desperate to be President. He runs for office every 4 years. He has a beauty queen as his running mate and YUCK! The world will turn their backs once and for all on the U.S. if OldCane gets elected.
This story is such crap Perez. Lots of people might have passing meetings with people that are shady it doesn't mean they are shady. Why don't you take a closer look into some of Obama's actual friends. Mccain certainly isn't friends with this guy and even you know that. Go ahead and keep trying to make Mccain look bad but it's not going to work. Your sure looking desperate.
I would get too excited about this feeble relationship people. Perez has yet to mention any of Obama's real con-men and killer associates…..for example William Ayer and Tony Rezko. There are plenty more, just check into the Illinois Senator.
was McCain son there? You know the one who was a director at that Nevada bank that was bailed out this weekend? Oh, he did resign the July–that doesn't make it ok.
Why are assholes like magnets? They attract
Re: Genghis Khan – Obama is actually against gay marriage and abortion he just isn't willing to pass a law about abortion. He is awfully liberal for being a christian though.
OMG - - i haven't visited this site in 4 days because it, Perez Hilton, has become so biased that I'm going to make a cognizant effort to stay away from this politically fueled blog site.
If P would keep his site like it was 6 months ago, without the political mumbo jumbo i would b glad to continue to read…but its just like all the other left wing celebrities. because they are celbritites they believe we want to hear their opinion….I love the entertaining abilitites of OPRAH, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and dare i say Susan Sarandon BUT I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK. You don't live like me, you don't have the slightest idea of what i beleive…so like i usually do except for this moment….KEEP YOUR HOLLYWOOD OPINION TO UR SELF!!! oh and btw susan sarandon How dare you compare Obama to Jesus and McCain to Pilate - - you're a fascist and u make me sick….Perez, I love you and have enjoyed your blog for a very long time, but, you are no longer funny and you don't make me laugh. your opinions are just that…yours….keep them to yourself.
WHOOPIE THEY WERE AT THE SAME PARTY. WHY DON'T YOU STOP BEING SO BIASED MARIO AND TALK ABOUT HOW BARACK OBAMA IS FRIENDS WITH A CONVICTED TERRORIST WHO SOLD THEM THEIR HOUSE!!!!
Straws people, the liberals are grasping at straws. It is a sad day when the only thing they can come up with is McCain met the guy. Wow, that must mean he's a con artist too. ::rolls eyes:: Shall we start with the meetings that Obama has had? Or are you too scared to dig that deep?
ANNE HATHAWAY SUPPORTS BARACK OBAMA! I WONDER WHAT ELSE HAPPENED ON THAT YACHT?????
Re: Plinkie9 –
Actually, there are a dozen more stories about shady McCain out there. This is nothing. READ you moron!
Re: honey97431 – Where are you getting your info he is against abortion and gay marriage? Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. I just sincerely want to know…….
I think Anne is one of the Dumbist women in America! I think she is getting off way too easy. Exactly how many little parties and dinners she attend with that crook? Didn't her little mind wonder where he was getting all of this money and credit to throw parties for politicians and billionare buisness men?
I mean, you cant get upset that people were associating Obama with Williams Ayers and then try to turn around and do the same thing to McCain (poorly I might add)
PEREZ THIS IS FOR YOU!!!!!!
come on perez. so you support obama we all know this the regulars that is. YOUR BOY IS JUST AS SHADY… If you can truly write what you just wrote as supposedly shady. not so much. obama had his first campaign as a senator funded by a man who was indited last year tony lesco. even had land agreements with him now thats shady shady as you put it so be a real journalist you call your self the QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA get some juice on that. and report on both sides of some real orange juice because your gossip is starting to be concentrated.
Perez-OK, let's talk about "SHADY". From a credible source (unlike this blog) THE WASHINGTON POST:
JOE BIDENS SON AND BROTHER ACCUSED OF FRAUD
A son and a brother of Sen. Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.) are accused in two lawsuits of defrauding a former business partner and an investor of millions of dollars in a hedge fund deal that went sour, court records show.
A lawsuit filed by their former partner Anthony Lotito Jr. asserts in court papers that the deal was crafted to get Hunter Biden out of lobbying because his father was concerned about the impact it would have on his bid for the White House. Biden was running for the Democratic nomination at the time the suit was filed.
Hunter Biden was made president with an annual salary of $1.2 million, despite his inexperience in the hedge fund industry, the lawsuit said. Before that, he had been part of the Washington law firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair, which earned $1.76 million in lobbying revenue in the first half of 2006, according to Congressional Quarterly’s CQ MoneyLine.
hey douche, what about Obama and Bill Ayers???
Also "SHADY" the RACIST ANTI-WHITE CHURCH OBAMA ATTENDED FOR 20 years. Below is their doctrine. There is no mention of the word "WHITE" (the word "middleclassedness" is code)! It is a Black seperationist church. What about EQUALITY? (which is the American dream). For crying out loud, people. Do more research and EDUCATE Yourselves! Don't believe everything you read on Perez's stupid blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do some reserach. Everything I am posting is flat-out from CREDIBLE SOURCES!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Uker – you can wrap a Muslim in a Bible but he's still a Muslim.
You can wrap a campaign with magical words like hope and change, but it still makes you a marxist.
You can deny your heritage and embrace blackness, but you're still half white.
You can put an American flag on your lapel, but you're still a die hard America
hater.
You can read all the pretty words from a teleprompter, but without it, your a stammering
fool that makes Forest Gump look like a motivational speaker.
From Obama's racist church website Trinity Church's website (Don't be lazy, Look it up yourselves):
Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness."
Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which, while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of "we" and "they" instead of "us."
So, while it is permissible to chase "middleclassness" with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method - the psychological entrapment of Black "middleclassness." If we avoid this snare, we will also diminish our "voluntary" contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright.

Who is Obama's friend Bill Ayers?
Leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman
"Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents."
Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972
Currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois
All told, Ayers and Weatherman were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S. "I don't regret setting bombs, said Ayers in 2001, "I feel we didn't do enough."
In the mid-1990s, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn hosted meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during his first run for the Illinois Senate.
In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a director alongside Barack Obama until the latter left the Woods board in December 2002.
I'm so sick of this shit. Look at all the shady people Obama endorsed and even donated money to!….$22k to a racist church. This country is in a War, I'd rather have a military hero with decades of experience handling something as delicate as that than a guy with 143 days experience. The thought of Obama going into negotiations with world powers who already don't like us scares the shit out of me. But hell, if Obama wins it will make for some good TV! Wake up people.
This blog used to give me a laugh every now and then at celebrity stupidity but I'm really tired of coming here and getting pissed off over politics. The last thing this country needs is the bubble heads of Hollywood who's expertise lies in designer purses, Bentley's and overpriced tanning salons influence the masses of zombies who believe your crap. You idiots should learn keep your mouth shut in political matters. Your a danger to yourselves and the country.
From yet another reputable paper: On Obama's Marxist Communist Mother….The Chicago Tribune
"In a recent interview, Obama called his mother "the dominant figure in my formative years. . . . The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."
CofCC.org has reported in the past how Barack Obama's story about his
father is full of fabrications. Much of what is told about his mother
is also a fabrication.
While on the campaign trail, Obama portrays his mother as a Donna Reed
like-woman from the heartland in Kansas. In reality Obama's mother was
a radical Marxist and avowed atheist. While born in Kansas, his mother
spent all of her teen years in Seattle hanging out with other young
Marxists in Seattle's coffee shops.
Obama plays up on his Methodist and Baptist grandparents in Kansas.
Infact, Stanley Ann's mother and father attended a left-wing Unitarian
church in Seattle, not Methodist or Baptist. Their church in Bellevue,
Washington was knicknamed "the little red church" for it's communist
leanings.
Lets not forget that Hathaway's BF wasn't a convicted criminal at the time!!!
AND THAT OBAMA IS BFFS WITH A CONVICTED TERRORIST FROM THE 60's AND HAS MANY MANY CRIMINAL FRIENDS AND IS MIDDLE EASTERN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: SuckIt666 –
I LOVE YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH
ANYTHING BUT OBAMA '08!!
Re: auds – Re: auds – Hey Genius, Barack Obama is 46 years old. That means he was born in 1962. Did he play in the sand box with this convicted terrorist? Republicans need to learn critical thinking. Didn't they teach you that at university. No, you probably never went. I hate you stupid dumbasses.
Re: auds – OBAMA WAS BORN IN THE US, STOP THE PROPAGANDA YOU DUMB FUCKING HO
Re: characterassasination1 – That's new. Now Obama is communist as well as a Muslim? LOOOOOOOOOOOL… what will you assholes think of next. Fucking racists. STOP THE PROPAGANDA!
and anne just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time???? fishy…
Re: America The Beautiful – I never said he was a communist. BUT HIS MOTHER WAS! The woman who "Obama called his mother "the dominant figure in my formative years. . . . The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."
That is a quote from Obama, you illiterate moron! From the Chicago Tribune, one of the best newspapers in the country. FACT!!!!!
Barry's got a long list of questionable, anti-American associates that blows this out of the water.
Re: Melissa is always right – I agree. Reverend Wright is back in the news! LOL
Re: America The Beautiful – #74 - No, and it wouldn't be as questionable to me if he had played in the sandbox with him. Fact is, Obama was an adult when he took up with the known, unrepentant domestic terrorist, who felt they should have done more.
Whew! Good thing Obama never associated with anyone like Antoin Rezko.. oh wait … he did… got truck loads o' money from him… hmmmm…. Well, at least he didn't know Bill Ayers..oh crap, he did…ummm… ok, let's spin it this way… "Jesus healing the lepers" sort of a thing.. you know… since he is the second coming and all… wouldn't want to sully his good name…
How can you use the word "shady" refering to a trip of McCain in a fucking yacht two years ago, but keep silent about the present association of Obama with a terrorist that bombed the Pentagon?
Triying to make McCain look "shady" is so stupid, that I will take it as a joke, but to ignore and be silent about Obama's associations with extremes and terrorists, is totally sinister..and stupid!
Re: jace –
yours is one of the best comments in this site.- You are sooo right…..Amen!!!!
Wow. He looks so fucking evil in that pic.
Re: jace – You can wrap an American with a Bible, a flag, millions in campaign money but he's still a moron.
being on the same boat with a con man is hardly the same as having lifelong associations with known terrorists.
Okay already, we all know what a great American he is (after all, he won't ever let us forget it) but it's time for him to check into a retirement home–
not run the country!
Seriously - the Republican Party is using the religious community to garner a large, perpetual "core base" of support. McCain is no more committed to the principles of the Bible than Bush is. It's so much bullshit. But, that community is already fostered by individuals who are blind followers; tragic that they are so unaware that they are being exploited.

Laugh at you. You are such a moron. You don't even know what the word "condone" means. You slipped it into your sentence in a lame attempt to imply that you have some brain activity by saying: "…on a day like today, 9/11, is when we should condone Obama."
:l
The word "condone" means to accept…ya idiot. Apparently you meant to use the word "condemn", but you are too much of an idiot to know that.
:l
P.S. (…his people caused so much heartache???). That's desperate. You are revealing yourself as a very dumb racist. I don't mean that as an insult, but rather, as a description.

Strange thing is, he is not a black man. He is milato (half white/half black). How is than any different from Bush and McCain (half smart/half stupid). And which do you think would make a better President - Obama's white side or his black side?

Come on, America. Stop being a bunch of idiots by bringing race and gender into the election equation. Vote on the best candidate to manage your country and your taxes……sheesh.

It's not rocket science!

please keep attacking palin's family

it's more your style, more exciting… any new dirt on her kids? that's the achilles' heel- attack the kids
.
spare us this boring stuff
.
P.S. - You might want to think twice before you gamble on McCain - because that man has a gambling problem - spends 14 hours at a time at the craps tables. All very exciting when he's gambling his own money, but when it's America's security at stake, a gambler is probably not the best way to go.
:l
His top campaign aides have confirmed that. Before you tell me it's bullshit - you better do the research. In fact, if you didn't already know about this, then you should not even be making a decision, because it is an uninformed decision. Anything less than that, is a wasted vote.
:l
:l
obama know any conmen?
obama know any terrorists well, or communists?
So, you think that it's "shady" that John McCain was at a party where a douchebag conman supposedly talked to him….WTF…I thought you were smarter than that…pretty sad, that this is the only "dirt" you can get on him…the guy is a hero…Give up…
kenzie514 [97]
:l
Tell me, kenzie514 [97], what is your favorite attribute in John McCain:
:l
Is it his gambling addiction?
Is it the slippery way he announced in June 2007 that he was an Episcopalian, and then 3 months later announced that he was a Baptist (while campaigning in the heavily-Baptist state of South Carolina)?
Is it because he was a member of the Keating Five, where 5 congressmen were investigated on ethics charges for using their authority to try and remove racketeering charges against Charles Keating, after he gave them large campaign contributions and several vacation trips, of which McCain acquired $112,000.00 plus many many paid vacations, leaving a cost to taxpayers of $3.4 billion dollars [the Lincoln Savings & Loan collapse]?
Is it because you want a First Lady who stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran (she stole from a medical charity for christ's sake).
Is it because he publically referred to Leonardo DiCaprio as an androgynous wimp?
Do tell.
I have a humongo crush on Obama
Re: akm – OH MY GOD….AMEN TO THAT. Its about time someone said that. Thank you.
