Desperation or Prank or What: Letter to Russians asking for Money From McCain

OK, this is bizarre. We all know that McCain is hurting for money. As of October 1st he had $47 million cash on hand to use in his campaign. We've also just heard Rick Davis hold a conference call questioning the validity of Obama's small donors. Well, don't they have cojones! Now the McCain campaign has sent a letter to Russia's Permanent mission to the U.N asking for a cash donation of $5000 for his election campaign!

Russian Permanent Mission Gets Request from McCain for election cash:

Russia's permanent mission to the UN has received a letter from U.S. Republican presidential candidate John McCain asking for financial support of his election campaign, the mission said in a statement on Monday.

"We have received a letter from Senator John McCain with a request for a financial donation to his presidential election campaign. In this respect we have to reiterate that neither Russia's permanent mission to the UN nor the Russian government or its officials finance political activities in foreign countries," the statement said.

Enclosed was a request for a donation of up to $5,000 to McCain's election campaign to be returned with a check or permission to withdraw the money from the donor's credit card until October 24.

Oh.My.God. $5000??!! Knowing that by law campaign contributions are capped at $2300 and can NOT be accepted from foreign nationals.It's just too funny! HA!
Whether this is an error or a prank is irrelevant to me at this point. McCain has destroyed any honor he thought he had before this vile, ugly campaign.
