"The Last Republican" - Part 3: Looking for Mexicans

McCain adviser who leaked that the AP story about Palin and her kids' travel could actually be good for the campaign is Martin Eisenstadt. This is just the sort of thing we might expect from "The Last Republican" who always sees the glass as half full. In Part 3, "Looking for Mexicans," we learnd how the McCain campaign isn't taking anyone for granted. Not even tourists.

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

You got taken in by a phoney.

"Eisenstadt is the fabrication of two filmmakers, Eitan Gorlin and Dan Mirvish, who, as The New York Times first reported Wednesday, succeeded at an elaborate hoax that fooled countless media outlets into believing Eisenstadt was a real political insider."- ABC News

Good to see that you liberals are so much "smarter" than us.

Too funny to be true?

I don't think it's cocaine. He appears to have narcissistic personality disorder. I have had the displeasure of working with somebody with narcissistic personality disorder (who was also a politician). At first the person seemed relatively normal, but eventually I realized that the person really believed all the b.s. about her own self-importance--like the guy in the vid. People like that are exceedingly difficult to work with because they think that they are God's gift to the world.

Marty, you S.O.B., those dollars you paid me in were fake! They almost killed my in the Baghdad market when I went to cash them in. I was stuck there for a month trying to get enough money to get back stateside.

You had better still have my camera gear. This is the last time I ever do any photography for you or your sleazy cronies!

Since you won't answer my calls, this is the only way I can contact you.

This slimeball also took my cell phone and sold it to some Iraqi insurgent.
