John McCain's Relationship With Lobbyist - It's About More Than Just Sex

A Hole In McCain's Denials of Corruption?

Apparently Newsweek has found one

The real issue for McCain is the unethical relationship with lobbyist Vicki Iseman- doing favors for an individual who represented a company- Paxson Communications - run by a campaign contributor, while he was the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. Essentially McCain used the power of his position to do political favors. The Sex (if he got any) was just the side show.

Newsweek is reporting that McCain has a hole in his defense. Apparently he forgot about a lawsuit from 5 years ago, where he may have actually told the truth. His statements then seem to contradict what he is saying now in his defense.

These are legitimate questions for a man who has adopted the theme of cleaning up Government in Washinton, and has positioned himself as a Republican good guy who wants campaign finance reform.

Is this the "straight talk" that McCain has been promising?
