John McCain fundraiser arrested on suspicion of cooking meth. Seriously, who's surprised?

A woman listed as the RSVP contact for U.S. Sen. John McCain's re-election fundraisers was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of drug charges after Maricopa County sheriff's deputies found an active meth lab and other illicit drugs while conducting a search warrant at her north-central Phoenix home, officials said. 

The Sheriff's Office identified one of two people arrested in the drug bust as 34-year-old Emily Pitha, a former member of the staff of retired U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who most recently worked on GOP campaign fundraising. 

McCain's campaign manager, Ryan O'Daniel, issued this response Tuesday night: 

"We commend the hard work and dedication of our law enforcement officers in their fight to keep our community safe from illegal drugs and associated criminal activity. The campaign immediately terminated any relationship with Ms. Pitha upon learning of her alleged involvement in the operation.” 

A Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman said authorities were first alerted to possible drug activity at Pitha's Phoenix home by a parcel in transit from the Netherlands containing over 250 grams of MDMA – raw ecstasy. Detective Doug Matteson, the MCSO spokesman, said Pitha's boyfriend, 36-year-old Christopher Hustrulid, signed for the packaged when it arrived at their doorstep Tuesday afternoon.

You know I guess I kind of assumed that being a meth head was a prerequisite to working for John McCain.

After all we remember Sarah Palin right?

This arrest is of course not exactly good news for McCain who is facing perhaps his toughest bid for reelection ever.

Gee wouldn't it be awesome to have the first female President AND the first female Senator from Arizona elected in the same year? Why yes it would.

Woman uses meth and then rides a motorized cart through Wal-Mart eating chicken and drinking wine. Do I even have to tell you it happened in Florida?

A woman ate sushi, cinnamon rolls and the majority of a rotisserie chicken, drinking wine while driving a motorized shopping cart at a Walmart, according to the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office. She was arrested for shoplifting and other charges. 

It happened at the Lecanto Walmart Tuesday. Citrus deputies responded after the store loss prevention employee contacted them about an alleged shoplifter he had in custody. The employee told deputies that he had noticed the woman acting suspiciously driving the motorized shopping card. 

He could see a half-empty bottle of wine in her cart. He also said he watched her grab a box of sushi from the shelf, eat a piece and put the box back. She did the same with cinnamon rolls and mini muffins. He saw her eat the majority of a rotisserie chicken while on the shopping floor.

Overall the woman, aged 20, manged to consume $32.36 worth of food and wine.

Now see THIS is why I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart.

At first I was not sure it was Florida. After all nobody even got shot. 

Sarah Palin's supporters seem to be celebrating her path toward future hospitalization.

Okay so the above was posted by the Barricuda Brigade, which is ostensibly a twitter group that supports Sarah Palin. Yet they seem oblivious to what this picture is demonstrating, and that is that Palin is wasting away before their very eyes.

How they can see the above image and find it pleasing to the eye, rather than shocking is beyond me.

This is how Palin appeared just a few years ago, and while not exactly plump she certainly did not appear to have one foot in the grave as she does today.

I am not usually totally convinced by rumors that crop up about Palin, but the gossip surrounding a possible cocaine or methamphetamine habit are getting harder to ignore. 

Something is causing her to waste away, and I can tell you right now that it is NOT an exercise regime.

In an attempt to differentiate herself from the OTHER children of the 2008 Republican candidates, Meghan McCain is launching a new reality show. Do you want to tell her, or should I?

Courtesy of HuffPo:  

Meghan McCain will host her own show entitled "Raising McCain" on Pivot, a new cable channel launching in August. The show will follow McCain as she goes on the road, and film her interactions with guests. 

"I keep telling people it's like 'Meet the Press' meets 'Jackass,'" McCain, the daughter of former presidential candidate John McCain, described at Pivot's upfront on Wednesday.

Okay what is it with these Republicans wanting to get paid by having somebody film them while they do their laundry, get fat sucked out of their asses, and break up with their boyfriends?

Well to be fair it looks like McCain will have "guests" on her show, whatever that means,so maybe it will not fit the usual reality show formula. (Though I have to wonder if it will be like Bristol having her mother guest star on the show so that she could get paid as well? Couldn't you just see John McCain showing up to yell at kids walking across his daughter's lawn?)

But all kidding aside I am sure that McCain's show will have NOTHING in common with Bristol or Sarah's crappy reality shows which were filmed in Wasilla.

Wait, what's that you say?

She said that the show would be "uncensored" and "real." One example of an issue she would be interested in covering is the explosion of meth in her homestate of Arizona.

"The explosion of meth in her homestate of Arizona?" Sounds like Sarah and Bristol DID leave their mark on Arizona after all!

Oh Wasilla, Wasilla, Wasilla, when will you ever learn?

The U.S. Attorney's office on Thursday announced a record seizure of methamphetamine bound for Alaska.

Approximately 23 pounds -- yes, pounds -- of Mexican meth were intercepted on its way to Anchorage.

Four people have been arrested: 51-year-old Ricky Reese of Wasilla, the intended recipient and owner of Shooter's Billiards; 29-year-old Jared Lisenby of Anchorage; 78-year-old Ronald Hall of California; and 54-year-old Debja Steilen of California.

According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's office, the investigation began on March 29 when Drug Enforcement Administration officials seized $12,000 from a pickup truck being sent from Anchorage to Seattle.

The truck had been shipped back and forth from Anchorage and Seattle on numerous occasions and belonged to Hall, who had prior drug trafficking convictions.

The city probably has less than 11,000 people, just who in the hell was going to ingest, smoke, or inhale 23 pounds of methamphetamine? With that amount you could keep the entire town high as a kite for an entire week!

I mean for God's sake if living so close to Sarah Palin requires this much speed to dull your pain than just get the hell away from her!

You know speaking of Sarah Palin have you seen the Palin Family New Year Newsletter? (H/T to Basheert99)
