Today the Washington Post has broken a story revealing a private meeting between presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. John McCain and Russian billionaire and Kremlin loyalist Oleg Deripaska. This was apparently set up by Rick Davis, McCain’s campaign manager, who previously worked as a lobbyist for several pro-Kremlin outfits.

Given that Senator McCain has called for Russia’s ouster from the G-8 and said Putin has only KGB in his eyes, one must speculate that either:(a) Mr. Deripaska is not as “loyal” to the Kremlin as some might like to think, or(b) The Kremlin’s allies are far less effective in bolstering the Kremlin’s power and influence than some might like to believe.Either way, perhaps Mr. Deripaska is going to find himself in Siberia before long . . . if not literally then at least figuratively.
