"Honorable" Lobbyists

Ok, so the NY Times publishes an iffy article implying and unproven affair between McCain and a lobbyist. Not sure about that one, but it has spurred some other reporting, including "The Anti-Lobbyist, Advised by Lobbyists" detailing how many of McCain's top campaign staff are lobbyists, including one who conducts their business directly on the "Straight Talk Express."

McCain has at least 59 federal lobbyists raising money for his campaign, compared with 33 working for Republican Rudolph W. Giuliani and 19 working for Democrat Clinton.

Interesting for a guy who was instrumental in investigating Jack Abramoff. Don't know what to make of it all. He says his lobbyists are "honorable."
