John McCain and Cablevision
The AP is reporting on a potential conflict of interest.
Here we have a man who has done more harm to the First Amendment as anyone in the past generation, all the while scolding us on coordination of electoral efforts, and he’s playing a shell game with Cablevision in order to gin up indirect payments to his staff. Davis claims that McCain didn’t solicit the donations, but Davis did; according to his own account, he sought out the donation from Cablevision after hearing that they might be interested in funding The Reform Institute. Coincidentally, McCain starts writing letters and making phone calls on behalf of Cablevision shortly after the first installment gets cashed by Davis and the Reform Institute
If you listen closely, you just might hear the sound of John McCain’s 2008 presidential hopes slipping into the ether. Maybe not entirely…after all, many other Senators have done worse, including The Poodle. At any rate, this bit of scandal seems to involve an area where the saintly John McCain was thought to be untouchable: dirty campaign contributions.
McCain complains about big money in politics. But he doesn’t see that it’s too bad to accept money from a monopoly in order to give “insider access” to allow the monopolist to testify before Congress.
And the Bandwagon thinks McCain gets free HBO.
UPDATE: Michelle joins the fray. And Captain Ed has more and more. Others too: St. Wendeler, Opaque Lucidity, a skeptical Kilmer and lots more.
