McCain Outsources Robocall Phonebanking to India - "The Last Republican" - Part 2:

Joe "the Plumber" leaker Martin Eisenstadt campaigns in California. As suggests in Part 2, maybe McCain's California phone banking is being oursourced to India. That might explain a nearly-empty office. Or does it?

A docu series following Martin Eisenstadt, conservative blogger and McCain insider, as he stumps for McCain in LA. He's the guy who just leaked that Joe "The Plumber" is related to Charles Keating of Keating Five fame.

It being an election year, BBC asked me to do a piece on celebrity and politics and how they intersect here in the States. This was around the time that the McCain campaign was running an ad comparing Barack Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. In pursuing my research, I contacted the pundit/blogger, Martin Eisenstadt, who first broke this story. I followed him for a day of campaigning when he visited Los Angeles. I quickly realized that Eisenstadt was my story. Already something of an internet mystery (he's been called a "fraud" and even worse) it turns out that in addition to being a blogger and a pundit, he's a McCain surrogate, a war profiteer and a bit of a randy bloke all around. Let's see if he gets under your skin as he got under mine.

Here's a link to his blog: http://www.eisenstadtgroup.com

I detect a little anti semitism in this part, but funny as hell.

[minimumgrade]

this is a joke, but hilarious - a republican

[PhilEBinsen]

Hilarious. I love how the McCain office is completely empty.

"Let's see if he gets under your skin as he got under mine"

All the candidates get under my skin.

It's truly sad and it pretty much cinches it,

it's rigged and the U.S. is DONE

Lance the driver is really just Joe the Plumber, but with hair. And Plumber Joe is, in reality, Jeff 'Johnny Gosch' Gannon. But don't tell anyone because it's a secret.

Good stuff youkay _ I'm hard pressed to decide whether he's a total fraud - a poseur - pretending to be part of McCain's campaign, or the real thing.
