CHECKMATE: "Two Top McCain Officials Lobbied For Oil-For-Sex Scandal Companies" - TPM/Huff
This is HUGE, isn't it? I mean, this could actually take McCain out I think,
given how the media can't help itself from covering any scandal involving sex and drugs.

Any bets on whether a blistering sequal to Obama's new ad about McCain lobbyists is in the works?

HELLO ... Sen. McCain? Can you say "game over" yet?

Here's something that could complicate the McCain-Palin reform message a bit: It turns out that McCain's national finance co-chair, Wayne Berman, is a paid lobbyist, and has been one for years, for two of the oil companies that are at the center of the sex, drugs and oil scandal enveloping the Interior Department.

One of McCain's high-ranking campaign officials also lobbied for the companies for years -- during time periods when the scandal has unfolded -- up until he joined the McCain campaign in the spring.

1. It won't take him out, but it's certainly more ammo for us n/t

2. This is very good. If nothing else, it's another black cloud over McDouche
that Obama can connect with other douchiness.
