Top McCain Adviser Says He Does Much Of His Lobbying From Aboard Straight Talk Express!
By Greg Sargent - February 22, 2008, 5:50PM
This is pretty great. Today's Washington Post piece all about the fact that John McCain is surrounded by lobbyists on his campaign has gotten lots of attention today. It's key context for understanding the big Times story yesterday about his allegedly improper relationship with that female lobbyist, as well as his constant railing against lobbyists and "special interests."

But the piece has a lovely and very revealing little nugget buried in it that has passed unnoticed. It turns out that one of McCain's top advisers, lobbyist Charlie Black, does lots of his lobbying from the Straight Talk Express. From aboard the bus itself...

1. bahahahaha. Yes, McCain is shooting himself in the foot with those absolute denials
he made on Friday. I'm betting the NYTimes has alot more info they're letting out drip by drip by drip. They also have an article today about him contradicting himself. I guess the press won't have access to McCain anymore b/c they'll be asking questions that he won't want to hear.
