Shameless John McCain

Seriously.

"Sen. John McCain has hired Elizabeth O'Bagy, the Syria analyst in Washington who was fired for padding her credentials, according to The Cable. She begins work Monday as a legislative assistant in McCain's office.

"Elizabeth is a talented researcher, and I have been very impressed by her knowledge and analysis in multiple briefings over the last year," McCain told The Cable in a statement. "I look forward to her joining my office."

O'Bagy, who is 26, was fired after it was confirmed that she had padded her resume with a Ph.D. from Georgetown University. She also failed to disclose in for a pro-Syrian rebels op-ed in WSJ that she was part of a pro-Syrian rebel political group, the Syrian Emergency Task Force."


Seriously?

ISW:

The Institute for the Study of War has learned and confirmed that, contrary to her representations, Ms. Elizabeth O'Bagy does not in fact have a Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University. ISW has accordingly terminated Ms. O'Bagy's employment, effective immediately.  - See more at: http://www.understandingwar.org/press-media/staff-bios/elizabeth-obagy#sthash.xyOmhLJG.dpuf

But good enough for an American politician?

Seriously.

"Let's see here. Fired for impersonating a scholar. Terminated for padding your resume. Laid off for sleeping with the cleaning lady - we won't fault you for that...she's hot! Oh, sez here you have a restraining order against several former colleagues. I got a feeling about you. You're hired!"
