Couldn't Happen to a Nicer Guy.

Irony. Sweet, sweet irony. How I love thee.

Drudge just popped a story that Sen. John McCain (R-Media) is desperately trying to get the New York Times to spike a story and has hired DC "super lawyer" Bob Bennett (who you may remember from his defense of Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinski saga) to aid his efforts.

Does the Times story allege McCain sired an Edwardsian love child? Nope.

Does it allege that McCain dealt drugs in his youth, like some claim about Obama? Nope.

Does it allege that McCain is failing to release records from the National Archives like both Clintons? Nope.

It apparently alleges that John McCain, the man who by his own account fate itself entrusted to save the country from the "Iron Triangle" of lobbyists and their corrupt money, granted special favors to...a lobbyist.

It could be the Keating 5 scandal all over again! Say it ain't so, Johnny Mac.

You mean even after you passed your "Campaign Finance Reform" bill, the Times has dirt on your dirty dealings with a, gasp, lobbyist! Saint John of Arizona, you have sullied your halo for 30 pieces of silver?

Evil is the path that leads to the dark side, Master Skywalker. I can't wait to read the Times story.

This should be an abject lesson for all Republicans. The media doesn't like you. The media will never like you. For all your maverick status, and all your embracing of the fashionable media driven issue of the day, they despise you.

And they will sink you when they can. It's no coincidence that at a time when McCain is making a comeback in places like New Hampshire, and to a lesser extent, Iowa, that this story is leaked.

It doesn't even matter if it is true, really. The damage is done. Hell, this post is an example of how you will get beat up regardless of how this plays out.

It must hurt being hoisted on your own "retard", Johnny Mac. And if you really have been caught acting sketchy with some lobbyist that would truly be retarded.

I wasn't going to vote for you anyway. Now, I probably won't have to.

I am interested, though. If the Times is correct, what "flaw" in current law led to your downfall. What liberty encroaching legislation will you introduce now to attempt to salvage your own reputation?

Because, you admitted that CFR was introduced in part out of your "shame" at being implicated in the Keating 5 deal. What part of the Constitution must we now consider sacrificing to wash this stain off your rep?

UPDATE: The Drudge update indicates that the story is about McCain alledgedly giving a female telecom lobbyist (who has hired a lawyer too) access to write specific telecom legislation.

Heh..I guess we need to be on the lookout for the "CFR Amendments Act of 2008- Protecting Senators from the Special Influence of teh Sexy" next year.

1 The worst part is your asking about what liberty encroaching legislation will be advanced, because that will no doubt be part of the response :/

Yep. That's a specialty of McCain. Whenever he is busted for his own particular failings, it ends up showing there is a "systemic" problem that needs a "systemic" solution.

Assuming the Times is onto something, how about you sack up and not play so nice with lobbyists, Johnny Boy?

Bam. Problem solved.

5 Good Day. Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room. Help me! Need information about: Miniature metal lathe.
