High Maintenance

Turns out the highest paid McCain staffer isn't the guy who helps Rick Davis mainline his banana/vodka/Cialis shakes every morning. Nor is it, as Matthew initially believed, the guy who belt sands the lizard sheen off of McCain's face before television appearances.

[NYT]--Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?
