As an avid reader of The Drudge Report I came across this story….I’m insulted!! I can’t believe that Senator McCain and his Staff don’t read our blog! If the Senator from Arizona and Presidential hopeful did read our various posts, he would find that conducting background checks on sites such as Google is a big no no.
Ok, I am over-reacting, but our loyal readers know that using sites like Google is a bad idea when hiring an employee. We have written about it ad nauseum. I am positive that when Senator McCain looks to really vet his VP Candidate, he will go beyond this basic, unreliable, non-FCRA complaint tool! Maybe he will call employeescreenIQ???
McCain says using Google to vet VP candidates
RICHMOND, Virginia (Reuters) – It turns out choosing a vice president isn’t that complicated after all.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain joked on Monday that Google, the popular Internet search engine, had made investigating his list of potential candidates a little bit easier.
“You know, basically it’s a Google,” he said to laughter at a fund-raising luncheon when asked how the selection process was going. “What you can find out now on the Internet — it’s remarkable.”
Vice presidential candidates go through rigorous screening to determine whether they would help a White House aspirant in a general election — and to make sure there is nothing in their background that could be damaging down the road.
