John McCain's little Gambling Problem

Now this is some serious shady-looking business:

“McCain is an avid gambler. Wes Gullett, a close friend who worked for McCain for years, told me that they used to play craps in Las Vegas in fourteen-hour stints, standing at the tables from 10 a.m. to midnight.” […]

...

* Wes Gullet is an old friend and gambling buddy of John McCain. They rolled dice together in 14-hour-long sessions in Las Vegas.

* Gullet was McCain’s campaign manager and top senate staffer and is now a lobbyist.

* Gullet was hired to lobby McCain on the largest land swap in Arizona history, exchanging private land in the wilderness for valuable federally-owned land ready for development.

* McCain, who initially opposed the swap, changed his position and supported it after Gullett was hired.

* The land swap benefited one of John McCain’s top fundraisers who has hauled in more than $100,000 for his Presidential campaign.
