Trying to make a scandal?

Trying to make a scandal? February 22, 2008

This business with John McCain and a pretty lobbyist strikes me as low, low scandal mongering.  I haven’t read any direct allegations of a sexual relationship between them, but that is the insinuation with all the photos of the woman in her glamorous gown.  The concern of McCain’s aides seems to have been that she was one of those evil lobbyists that the Senator usually scorned.  But if association with a lobbyist is scandalous in itself, pretty much all legislators would be guilty, and McCain less than most of them.  

But, I don’t know, maybe there is more to the story than just two left-wing publications, “The New Republic” and “The New York Times,” trying to destroy a Republican. If so, more will come out. But, what do you think about all of this?

Here is the story so far: McCain Denies Aides’Statements About Lobbyist.
