McCain aide Eisenstadt says bomb Iran to save Iranians. That's the conclusion Martin Eisenstadt reaches in Part 8 of my series "The Last Republican." In this episode, Eisenstadt and his trusted aide Danny Sadler visit a Jewish old aged home and the only McCain supporter they find refuses to show her face in public. Though probably not for the reason you think. Through footage that Danny gave me of Martin's trips to Iraq, I also discovered the dangerous side effect of his work selling cell phones to Iraqis.
This is my docu series I did for the BBC 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.
