Lol CNN

Just flippin channels and saw some "truth check" on Obama ads going on on CNN. McCain doesn't have any "paid" lobbyists on his team. Apparently because McCain's advisers were lobbyist before joining his campaign, but have "suspended activities, or at least getting paid for those activities" while on his campaign they aren't correctly called lobbyists. WTF. I'm suppose to believe a person that has lobbied for oil companies, and who I can reasonably assume will do so again right after McCain gets elected isn't fairly called an oil company lobbyist? I guess because McCain says they aren't working for both, it must mean it's true. When did the news get so freakin lazy. Come on there's fact checking and then there's just wasting peoples time with made up hair splitting.

If McCain can't produce detailed documentation of the severance arrangements these obvious lobbyists
have with their sleazy corporate masters, then it's just all hot air ... well, actually not so hot.

What were the terms of these severances? Are they still being paid while on "paid leave"? Is McCain
paying them? How much? Why is McCain PAYING lobbyists in the first place? Aren't lobbyists the ones
doing the paying for the votes they want? Inquiring minds want to know.

Can you say vacuous ass-covering double-talk yet?

I found the income for one BKSH & Assoc., Charlie Blacks firm... Even if he took a leave of absense to advise McCain, his company is still lobbying on behalf of...
