The Russina letter is just stupid. If McCain wrote it myself, I’ll marry a goat. I’m sure it’s part of a mass mailing, and the dude somehow got on a mailing list. I’m not a McCain fan, but I think this is occum’s razor. ---

How the hell does Vitaly Churkin get on a mailing list for anything in the US? ---

AP now has this story up, so it must have checked out: [AP Story](http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jwzezLAKBnkvNd5ebeT2v9IZ0HaQD93UF43O1) It looks like a few people got the letter: > [@](#): > > Vitaly Churkin, and several other diplomats at the Russian mission received a fundraising appeal from the Republican presidential nominee Thursday, spokesman Ruslan Bakhtin said. Probably a mass mailing went wrong: > [@](#): > > Churkin and his colleagues (concluded) the requests stemmed from “a computer failure” by McCain’s campaign, Bakhtin said. About the $5000 figure - the letter asked for “up to $5,000” Is there any way to ll egally send donations to a couple of different campaigns that would total $5,000? Donate to the Repubs in general plus donate to McCain’s campaign say? ---

He’s been whiney ever since he started saying that the negative campaign is due to Obama saying no to shared town hall meetings. For the life of me, I cannot figure that one out. But he says it a lot. And it still makes no sense. It’s so childish–“I didn’t get my way, so I’m going to try to make you miserable.” :rolleyes: ---
