Report on McCain's relationship with lobbyist angers campaign
Because she's a lobbyist. Ya see, pussy for favors....
In late 1999, McCain twice wrote letters to the Federal Communications Commission on behalf of Florida-based Paxson Communications â?? which had paid Iseman as its lobbyist â?? urging quick consideration of a proposal to buy a television station license in Pittsburgh. At the time, Paxsonâ??s chief executive, Lowell W. â??Budâ?ť Paxson, also was a major contributor to McCainâ??s 2000 presidential campaign.
McCain did not urge the FCC commissioners to approve the proposal, but he asked for speedy consideration of the deal, which was pending from two years earlier.
Robert Bennett, a Washington attorney representing McCain, said McCainâ??s staff provided the Times with â??approximately 12 instances where Senator McCain took positions adverse to this lobbyistâ??s clients and her public relations firmâ??s clients,â?ť but none of the examples were included in the paperâ??s story.
