Greg Craig is helping Barack Obama prepare for his debate with John McCain this Friday. An interesting choice given Obama’s problems in the guilt-by-association department. Craig’s previous clients include John Hinkley, Jr., who tried to assassinate President Reagan in 1981, and Bill Clinton during impeachment.

Washington Times:
Sen. Barack Obama will hunker down nearly all week to prepare for the most crucial 90 minutes of his political life … and has chosen a famous Washington lawyer who defended the would-be assassin of President Reagan to play Sen. John McCain in preparations.
…
Mr. Craig was a member of President Clinton’s defense team during Senate impeachment proceedings after the president lied about his sexual affair with a White House intern.
Mr. Craig was also the architect of John Hinckley’s successful insanity defense after Hinckley tried to assassinate Mr. Reagan.
Could have been worse. He could’ve picked Josh Howard.
