Who is Randy Scheunemann?

McCain's top foreign policy advisor was a paid lobbyist of the government of Georgia even as he advised McCain on critical foreign policy issues involving the US, Russia and Georgia -- advocating policies which could drag the US into another Cold War.

Can you say "apparent conflict of interest layered on top of geopolitical clusterfuck"? I thought you could.

But Mr. Scheunemann is remarkably accomplished in a number of ways. As former head of the Project for a New American Century and the Committee for the Liberation of Iraq, he was a central player in the neoconservative faction which was one of the major driving forces behind the unneccessary, counterproductive and murderous US invasion of Iraq.

To all of which McCain apparently says: Heckuvajob Scheuney!

But, you know, in a mavericky, straight-talker sort of way.
