McCain the 911 Fixer
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 08:32 PM by Prefer
The report concluded that the FAA generally cooperated with the independent panel investigating the terrorist attacks by providing documents about its activities on Sept. 11, but the actions of two FAA managers "did not, in our view, serve the interests of the FAA, the Department or the public."

The report was conducted at the request of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) after the panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, officially known as the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, complained that the FAA had been less than forthcoming in turning over documents and issued a subpoena to the agency for more information.

To reiterate:
- Manager suspiciously destroys tape recorded evidence in the 911 investigation
- 911 commission fails to get cooperation from the FAA
- McCain steps in, says "FAA is doing a swell job, just ignore the couple bad apples".

1. What a good ad: The Fixer
List all the things McCane has Fixed.

Corrupt organizations often have people who are called "fixers." These are the ones who cover up the evidence after hits, or keep two sets of books, bribe corrupt judges or handle other problems interfering with "the enterprise."

He buried improprieies at the FAA. He fixed Jack Abramof's email problem by burying them...

John McCane: The Republican Party's Fixer.

It could work.
