BIAW's McCabe will say anything

BIAW leader Tom McCabe is shooting his mouth off (again:)
What deal did Gregoire cut with the tribes in exchange for their contributions to Alexander's campaign?" said BIAW Executive Vice President Tom McCabe. "Now we finally know the answer."
That would be the same Tom McCabe who is in the P-I because Doc Hastings said McCabe tried to get a US attorney fired because he wouldn't launch an unwarranted investigation into "voter fraud" after the contested 2004 gubernatorial election:
"Tom McCabe of the Building Industry Association of Washington did contact my office in July of 2005 to ask that I urge the White House to replace Mr. McKay and I flat out refused to do so, which Ed Cassidy told him in the bluntest of terms," Hastings said.
Excuse me while my head spins. Hastings (a Republican) says McCabe (a Republican) tried to get a Republican US attorney fired because he wouldn't abuse his office to participate in McCabe's political vendetta, yet McCabe is still credible enough to make accusations about the governor? There seems to be nothing these people can do that will discredit them in the eyes of the regular media.

UPDATE: SusanHu has more today in a diary on DailyKos.
