John McCain and his campaign manager Rick Davis are boarding a fancy boat to celebrate McCain’s 70th birthday. Anyway, who is that greasy Montenegrin convicted con artist playboy, the one who owned the boat?The Nation describes Rafaello Follieri as an “A List” con man, and who knows Balkan con man stratification charts better than the Nation? Yesterday, this dude pleaded guilty in a Manhattan district court to many counts of wire fraud, money laundering, and other rich mobster crimes. His “big thing” was posing as Vatican chief financial officer “in order to win friends and investments.” A few months after McCain's yacht party, Follieri strengthened his ties to McCain's orbit by retaining Rick Davis's well-connected Washington lobbying firm, Davis Manafort, and offering Davis both an investment deal and help in securing the Catholic vote for McCain's presidential bid.
Gee, I want to spend MY birthday on a yacht with many bikini-clad ladies too!
PS Thanks to Wonkette..
