McCain runs a tight Ship...not really

The McCain camp is desparate to try and get the spotlight back on them so they float this BS story but pay close attention:
Retired Gen. Colin Powell is among the potential running mates who have been considered by John McCain, campaign advisers told Politico.

Powell was among the possible vice presidential choices theArizona Republican senator was thinking of when he said he would not rule out a supporter of abortion rights, a key adviser said.

Campaign officials say McCain has told them not to discuss the process.

Catch that? No, not that lame attempt to remain relevant by throwing Powell's name around but the telling message about McCain's control over his own campaign.

The first sentence ends with "...campaign advisors told Politico." and then a paragraph later "Campaign officials say McCain has told them not to discuss the process." So McCain says to his staff don't discuss this with anyone and they turn around and blab to Politico. Brilliant.

p.s. I do realize that controled leaks or deliberat BS like this can be strategic but why throw McCain under the bus with that last part highlighting his staff not following his orders? His campaign is in shambles.
