BOSTON - A 30-year-old man who worked as a press spokesman for John McCain has been arrested for allegedly punching his girlfriend, breaking one of her ribs.

Barry Flynn was fired by the McCain campaign after it learned about his arrest on Wednesday.

Flynn pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault and battery at his arraignment at Boston Municipal Court later Wednesday and was released on $500 bail.

Flynn had been a spokesman for the McCain campaign since August.

1. He was just trying to make his candidate more attractive to "conservatives."

and how does McCain show his gratitude, he fires the guy.

2. Oh Jaysus, and he's IRISH, too! Talk about a stereotype!

Was he drunk as well?

What IDIOT hired this guy, ya gotta wonder?

According to court records, Flynn also was arrested in 2003 on charges of domestic violence against the same woman.
After that incident, Flynn was fired from his job working for Mitt Romney, who was then governor of Massachusetts and is now McCain's rival for the Republican presidential nomination....

Apparently they're not doing much in the way of 'vetting' are they?
