MCCAIN MENTIONS GAZA CONTRIBUTIONS
The story that Atlas broke (back on July 30th) and that Newsweek's Isikoff plagiarized. gets the attention of the Rip Van Winkle McCain campaign.
This was BLOG INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. Converting thousands of pages of documents, going through each donor individually, going through thousands of foreign donors, Cathy getting up at 3 am, going to work at 5 am and working on it thru the work day for two weeks and more weekends coming up with the Gaza stuff, John Jay coming up with enormous anonymous donor totals, ..............
"McCain also raised the specter of illegal foreign donors to Obama's campaign and special "earmark" spending requests for campaign fundraisers. "Why has Sen. Obama refused to disclose the names of people funding his campaign," McCain said as the crowd booed. "His campaign had to return $33,000 in illegal foreign funds from Palestinian donors."
McCain's reference was based on a Newsweek article that said Obama's campaign had returned the money to two brothers living in the Gaza Strip. According to the article, the two Palestinians "had bought T-shirts in bulk from the campaign's online store. They had listed their address as 'Ga.,' which the campaign took to mean Georgia rather than Gaza." (more here hat tip Laura)

Patience pays off and good works are eventually recognized.

I wonder if you're going to get the Hannity treatment toward Debbie Schlussel. In fact, it's already happened.

I meant the first sentence to end in a question mark. It's what happens when I reply so early :(

Perhaps someone can ask who those t-shirts were supposedly shipped to Gaza since
Gaza is virtually under siege and Israel is only letting humanitarian supplies get through. Atlas, you seem to have some good contacts in Israel, ask them if it is possible to a few thousand shirts to Gaza.

Should really preview, I meant to ask how, not who
