Having already written once about how everything Vicki Iseman and McCain are openly accused of doing (as opposed to rumored to have done IN BED) is really just business-as-usual in Washington, I don’t really feel like repeating it. Actually, if they were boning that would be pretty common in Washington, too, but whatevs. Yawn. People cheat on their spouses! News at 11!
Anyway, having already said it’s business as usual, it turns out McCain totally agreed with me… and not just when he was defending himself this week. When he was deposed as part of Senator Mitch McConnell’s lawsuit against the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, he agreed that meeting with Lowell Paxson and flying on his corporate jet with or without Vicki Iseman and taking his campaign contributions and writing the letter asking the FCC to vote on the station acquisition was business as usual… and that it looked kind of shady. Oh, um, oops. I mean, not that any of that stuff was actually eliminated under McCain-Feingold, or even under the more recent lobbying reform bill (though, they are supposed to pay something closer to the actual value of the corporate jet ticket), but, you know, it looks shady, which is why most Congress Members and Senators don’t like it out there that they do it ALL THE TIME.
Oh, and they might’ve boned. Which is the only reason the story got written in the first place.
