1. I understand at least 2 of McCain's lobbyist staffers have been implicated

in the breaking stories about the oil lobby & rampant sex & drugs, but I didn't bookmark it and can't find the link now.

But the jist of it was that at least two of McCane's lobbyist staffers are involved in this up
to their eyeballs.

US oil officials in sex scandal

Source: BBC News

US government officials responsible for collecting revenue from oil companies have been accused of being involved in a culture of "ethical failure".

An investigation by the Department of the Interior said some of its employees had accepted gifts from and had sex with workers whom they were overseeing.

Others are accused of rigging contracts and working as private consultants.

The department is responsible for collecting billions of dollars a year from firms drilling on US federal land.

Some of the most senior officials who have been accused of misconduct have already retired or resigned.

The oil companies named in the report were Chevron Corp, Shell Oil, Hess Corp and Gary Williams Energy Corp.

3. not to mention his connections to the housing crisis

According to the Senate Lobbying Database, the lobbying firm of Charlie Black, one of McCain's top aides, made at least $820,000 working for Freddie Mac from 1999 to 2004. The McCain campaign's vice-chair Wayne Berman and its congressional liaison John Green made $1.14 million working on behalf of Fannie Mae for lobbying firm Ogilvy Government Relations. Green made an additional $180,000 from Freddie Mac. Arther B. Culvahouse Jr., the VP vetter who helped John McCain select Sarah Palin, earned $80,000 from Fannie Mae in 2003 and 2004, while working for lobbying and law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP. In addition, Politico reports that at least 20 McCain fundraisers have lobbied for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, pocketing at least $12.3 million over the last nine years.
