Does anyone else think Vicki Iseman was picked...
and aimed at McCain specifically because they knew of his predilections? Some years ago, a friend in a Federal job told me that lobbying firms were supplying (or being requested to supply) prostitutes to members of Congress, so why not dress it up a bit.
BTW, that was an incredibly self-serving speech this morning, full of lies.

1. I have to say, when I read this in the WAPO this morning..

Iseman, 40, who joined the Arlington-based firm of Alcalde & Fay as a secretary and rose to partner within a few years, often touted her access to the chairman of the Senate commerce committee as she worked on behalf of clients such as Cablevision, EchoStar and Tribune Broadcasting, according to several other lobbyists who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

I went...:think:

Everybody in Washington knows that lobbying firms routinely hire young sexy women as eye-candy and other things.

2. I was just thinking a little while ago if she was hired for her job because of her
attractiveness, and ability to reel in big fish using her sexuality. I didn't take that thought as far as you have, but who knows? Jeff Gannon was passed off as a journalist!

:rofl:

5. I didn't mean that she, specifically, is a hooker but...
that she was picked to go after grandpa because he likes young blonds.

3. What struck me, when I saw that pic of Iseman and bush: she looks a lot like Monroe
Yeah, I have no doubt lobby firms hire certain types for certain missions.

4. Yes, yes indeed. Note the eerie Stepford similarity to Cindy Hensley-McCain. nt

12. You really think she's attractive?
She looks like she's been rode hard and hung up wet if you ask me. She's got a real hard, trampy look about her.

19. You know who she reminds me of in that picture?
Have you seen that gross Jack in the Box commericial where Jack is in a hot tub with a woman and another couple? She looks like the creepy one that says "let's make a Jack sandwich!" only with blond hair.

15. 2000 campaign time, so YEAH, BushInc has long used blackmail to control lawmakers
even of their own party.

Poppy Bush did it to 'wrangle' votes for Nixon.
