From Vanity Fair: "Yet another member of John McCain’s presidential campaign is stepping down after coming under scrutiny for shady business dealings. McCain finance co-chair and former New Jersey congressman Jim Courter, chief executive of telecom corporation IDT, is resigning from the campaign after the FCC slapped IDT with a $1.3 million fine last week for failing to disclose information about its contracts in Haiti. IDT is being investigated by several federal agencies after a former employee filed a lawsuit alleging that the company engaged in corrupt practices in order to obtain favorable contracts in the country.

"Courter has been the chief executive of IDT since 2001. His resignation follows that of McCain finance co-chair Tom Loeffler in May over lobbying ties, and that of Rick Renzi, another McCain finance co-chair, who was indicted in February for money laundering and other charges.

"A McCain spokesman seemed caught off guard by the news of IDT’s troubles when VF Daily called for comment this morning. The spokesman called back a few hours later to inform us that Courter was “withdrawing his involvement in our fundraising efforts as a result of the growing interest in his business ties.” He added that the campaign was made aware of Courter’s decision today.

They keep dropping like flies over at the McBush camp because of hefty fines for corrupt practices like bribery, indictments for money laundering, and other shady dealings like the following:

"Regional campaign manager Doug Davenport and Republican convention chief Doug Goodyear departed after acknowledging having represented Burma. Eric Burgeson, who lobbies the federal government on energy issues, left Thursday. GOP consultant Craig Shirley parted ways with the campaign because of his ties to stophernow.com, an attack site created to target Sen. Hillary Clinton that is now aimed at Sen. Barack Obama."

If this were happening in the Obama camp, the right wing conservative knives would be out and the media would be having a field day.  With McCain, it gets a small comment buried in the inside pages or not mentioned at all.  How perfectly fair and balanced of the press.
