The McCain sex scandal ... |
|
You know what?
WE are being PUNKED!
Big time. I watched KO and this is a bunch of shit.
Yeah, McCain probably fucked her ... big fucking deal.
What I see from this.
KO is pumping this NON story and McCain will get sympathy. Why you ask?
McCain gets elected KO still has a job.
Obama or Clinton get elected ... what's he gonna do?
Sorry but this is a bunch of shit. He fucked her. Get over it.

2. She's a LOBBYIST. Not a bimbo or an intern. A LOBBYIST. |
|
And McCain ended up voting for her cause when it came to a Senate vote. THAT is a big deal.

If she's a lobbyist, then MAYBE it's a story. MAYBE.

This is a direct exchange of sex for favoritim in Congress for the Lobbyist's interests if the story is true, and McCain's not denying it, at least not now.

26. Then it MIGHT have legs. |
|
If so, I'll be happy to eat my hat on this. BUT, I don't have much faith in the media.

22. EXACTLY! McCain didn't just cheat on his wife. He cheated on the American People. |
|
This kind of relationship, even if you remove the marital infidelity issues, opens a huge can of worms.
She's a lobbyist, showing up at his private jet, his offices, and fundraisers (I thought lobbyists weren't allowed to give money or participate in the fund-raising process.) Is this a simple fling, or is she exchanging nookie for votes, for earmarks, for government contracts?
This is very, very serious.

I don't mean what happened, but the reporting of it in the NYT seems pretty tame. It will be interesting to see if it goes anywhere.

36. The GOP doesn't really want McCain. |
|
I wouldn't be surprised if this is being floated by his own party to get rid of him. They want someone like Romney who'll do as he's told by corporate America, no questions asked.

Dunno why everybody here at DU is busy making excuses for McCain or the media for reporting a sex and ethics story... It is a big deal because I seem to remember a certain Lewinsky scandal. During that story I don't recall the Republicans or the media giving anybody the benefit of the doubt.

or is it a case of hypocrisy? McCain/Fiengold is on the line. She is a lobbyist's and he got too close. Sorry, there are only so many 70 year old men who can still get it up.

nasty and vile, but gross in a "bleach my eyes please" way too. I was getting ready to eat my fish filet, but the thought of McCain sex just turned my appetite completely off. I could have lived my whole life without that visual. :puke:

34. Okay... get a grip on reality. |
|
Cheating on his wife with a woman 20 years younger than him does NOT get McCain sympathy. If anything, it puts him in a worse hole with the right wingers and "values voters" who already hated his guts. And Keith has a job no matter who gets elected.
