McCain hanging with felons?! And Italian felons at that! Then off to a bigger party with he Kremlin!
In mid-September The Nation's website published a photo of McCain celebrating his seventieth birthday in Montenegro in August 2006 at a yacht party hosted by convicted Italian felon Raffaello Follieri and his movie-star girlfriend Anne Hathaway

DJ, it appears that John McCain did indeed have some type of communication with Raffaello Follieri, an Italian Felon. Why that matters, I don't know, are Italian felons worse than American felons?
But there are some important facts that you are forgetting. The article stated that McCain was photographed with Mr. Raffaello Follieri (An Italian Felon) on his 70th birthday.
So now lets look into how old John McCain currently is. Well, Senator McCain was born on August 29, 1936, that makes him a vibrant 72 years of age. So since this photo was taken on McCain's 70th birthday, that means it happened on August 29, 2006. Remember that date.
Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend pleaded guilty this morning to an elaborate con that netted him millions from unsuspecting investors -- and ultimately cost him his actress girlfriend.
Raffaello Follieri, 30, appeared in Manhattan federal court today where he entered a guilty plea as part of a plea deal with federal prosecutors to reduce his sentence and avoid trial.
ABC NEWS LINKSo by looking at this news release, we can easily see that Mr. Raffaello Follieri (An Italian Felon) did not become a felon for over two years after that photo was taken. So since the photo was taken a full two years before he become a felon, Senator McCain couldn't have known that he was a felon, since he wasn't a felon yet, and an Italian one at that!
So if you are trying to use this arguement to compare McCain's realtionship with Mr. Raffaello Follieri (An Italian Felon) to that of Senator Obama's relationship with William Ayers, there is something that you need to look at. William Ayers committed his terrorist bombings before Obama knew him, and Mr. Raffaello Follieri (An Italian Felon) become a convicted felon two years after a photograph was taken. That would make me think that if it were such a close relationship, then there would be a more recent photograph than that, wouldn't you think?
I finally got around to researching them.
Yes you did!
