If Bush and the GOP knew about this, then that would be leverage against McCain to pressure him to flipflop their way, which he did.

I don't see why not? The Bushies have no depth to which they can descend when it comes to their own interests.
Fine by me...

7. This is a very bad strike against McCain. And it isn't the sex aspect. |
|
Edited on Thu Feb-21-08 09:38 AM by Buzz Clik
This woman was representing people who had business in front of McCain's Commerce Committee. Establishing any sort of personal relationship with her was a massive conflict of interest. And, considering it was plain as day to his staff that he was becoming attracted to her, he crossed all sorts of line.
If he'd been romping with some big-haired bimbo he met in a bar, that would be bad and rough on his wife. But this?
Unethical behavior. Period.

having an affair with him while he was still living at home with his then wife and their 3 kids.

McCain looked like kid got caught with his hand in the cookie jar...C-Span may have a transcrpt up but seeing him squrim was worth a 1,000 transcripts.

21. Just heard clips and he said "no" to a simple question about |
|
a "romantic involvement." The questions will probably get more direct. Seems to me that many here are jumping ahead to wonderfully salacious conclusions--so far.

23. Don't get caught up in the affair aspect. If she denies it and he denies it and there's no evidence, |
|
... then the "affair" part will be gone in a flash.
It is the unethical relationship with a Congressional lobbyist with a huge interest in the proceedings of his committee that is key here. McCain can be had, and that is dangerous for a man with aspirations on the presidency.

24. oddly the other side has no problem with pushing unsubstantiated bullshit |
|
We seem to be forever hung up in issues of fairness while they are engaged in a perpetual barrage of bullshit. Politics is dirty business. Let the NYT handle the ethics angle, the internets are not constrained by vetted sources.
McSame: I did not have romance with that woman.
Who cares if he actually said that or boffed his lobbyist? Make him keep on proclaiming his innocence until everyone is sure he is guilty.

You do the math, but I think I found the equation we need to focus on!
No wonder John was busily covering up Abramoff in Fall 2004. His arse was on the line with the rest of the Corrupt Bastards Club!
