The President's Host

Shouldn’t have been too tough to get a beer at the home of John Cresap, who hosted the McCain fundraiser attended by President Bush today. Cresap is president of Premium Beers of Oklahoma, one of the 25 largest wholesalers of Anheuser-Busch products in the country. Which obviously makes him business kin of Sen. John McCain’s wife, Cindy, whose father and uncle started what is now the largest beer distributor in Arizona.

Beer buys big houses

 as pictures of Cresap’s mansion in OKC prove. Mrs. McCain, you may have heard, has purchased a few houses herself.

Though he hosted the fundraiser today, which may qualify has an in-kind contribution to the McCain campaign, federal records don’t show any previous contributions from Cresap to McCain, or any other presidential candidate in the last five years.
