Ties To Lobbyists

The article in yesterday's New York Times was attacked viciously by the right wing nuts. Why do the righties refuse to actually look at the story itself? Did McCain have an overly friendly relationship with a particular lobbyist? Did her good looks and charm allow her to dictate to McCain what she wanted in telecom/communication bills? Did the relationship get telecom/communication groups special advantages?

Last night on MSNBC, right wing tool, Chris Matthews had a hissy-fit. His tirade against the New York Times was sickening. Is Matthews unable to fathom the possibility that media darling McCain did something wrong? Matthews was not acting like a journalist but rather a friend trying to defend a buddy.

Some people may think that the story about McCain will die down. However, I believe that the New York Times story will be the beginning of other investigations and inquiries into how McCain has garnered support from lobbyists.
