McCain Hires Former Saddam Hussein Lobbyist For Transition Team

John McCain's new transition team head honcho is a lobbyist who aided an influence effort on behalf of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein to ease international sanctions against his regime. Say what?

Yup, William Timmons in 1992 worked closely with the two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park who later either pleaded guilty to or were convicted of federal criminal charges that they had acted as unregistered agents of Saddam Hussein's government.

So John Sidney McCain worries about Obama having met William Ayers but has no problem with his transition team lead working on behalf of a sworn enemy Saddam Hussein. This guy is amazing in his lack of ethics and judgement.

First he picks an inexperienced incapable VP and then he hires a lobbyist who worked for Saddam Hussein. That's the kind of thing I would expect from....well nobody!
