Rats deserting a sinking ship?

Two of McCain’s top staffers have skedaddled:

Campaign manager Shiree Verdone is moving to a 2010 “Republican Victory” fundraising operation. Mike Hellon, a former Arizona Republican Party chairman who had a part-time role as deputy campaign manager, will join her there.

Neither Verdone nor Hellon was fired, said Brian Rogers, McCain’s campaign spokesman, who confirmed the staff changes Friday in a statement to The Arizona Republic.

Maybe they still have the capacity for shame.

Well, they really only had two choices.  Slink off quickly or hold out to sue for whiplash injury from dealing with all of McInsane’s every changing positions.

Maybe they still have the capacity for shame.

And maybe winged monkeys will fly out of my butt. Not being argumentative here, but dollars to donuts they’re just following a better revenue stream. It’s in their blood.

That, and they’re getting out before the stench of failure sticks to them.

When Keith Olbermann introduces Chris Kofinis as the former communications director of the John Edwards campaign, I always expect Chris to flinch or shoot Keith a dirty look…

Did Kofinis know there was truth to the Rielle rumors? I didn’t really follow that too closely.

Maybe they’re afraid The PalinDrone will return and they’ll have to stick red-hot kebab skewers in their ears to block the the screeching. The horrible, unending screeching.

I don’t know if he was kept completely in the dark or what.  I was keying off the “stench of failure” thing, like the way David Mamet leaves “Lone Canoe” off his credits.

Oh Allan—a “Lone Canoe” reference! You know how to spoil a girl!

I attended the premiere and after-party as Michael Feingold’s plus-one so it’s a cherished memory. Cast members recounted tales of numbers that got cut.
