Not All of The McCain's Tax Returns Went Out in This Friday's Dump

The "Friday garbage" this week included John McCain's ... selective disclosure.

Joe Sudbay shows the double-standard and log-splits the spin ...

Ol' John is a pensioner. He's receiving just under $60K - totally non-taxable - from the Navy each year, in addition to his salary as a Senator. For some reason unknown to me, he's also getting Social Security of just under $25K per year...

A ROADSIDE OF MEMORIES, FINANCIALLY SPEAKING

Remember that misty-eyed trip McCain took to his Episcopal High School? In spite of his glowing memories of the place (and their memories of him as a "Punk"), he hasn't given them any money from the family foundation. Walnuts! is not without stagecraft, apparently.


WaPo:
Income of $256,898 for 2006 and 2007 came from earning for the autobiographical "Faith of My Fathers," "Why Courage Matters" and three other books.

The McCain Family Foundation's returns look squeaky clean. Like WAY too squeaky clean. What good it is to have a Foundation if you aren't going to ... use it to the lowest common denominator?
