McCain Sex Scandal?

Slack3r78 · 02-20-2008, 06:09 PM

MSNBC is picking up the story via the NY Times now.

Allegations of an improper relationship with a female lobbyist.

In the spirit of Drudge...

DEVELOPING...

I feel I should add something intelligent, but...

...eeeew.

Where is the "more after the jump" and a link and what not?

All politicians have improper relationships with lobbyists.

I see a Viagra commercial in his future

Nothing on the MSNBC website yet, they're covering it on the Tee-Vee right now.

NY Times has a story up on their webpage, but it's behind a registration link.

Well, super-duper extra special improper relationship then.

Funny enough, Drudge had a link to the story from the NY Times

From that it suggests his advisors thought they were having a relationship, but there's no evidence of intimacy (shudder...)

The guy previously had an affair and divorced his wife. If I found out that he had done so again, it wouldn't change my opinion of him that much. I'm not going to vote for the man, but this isn't the reason why.

Fuck. Now McCain is a shoe in for president.

Khash · 02-20-2008, 06:21 PM

At his age?

CapnBob · 02-20-2008, 06:22 PM

Though I've pretty much made up my mind to vote against McCain already, I don't think this story is worth much attention. OMG HE STOOD NEXT TO THE SAME GIRL A FEW TIMES. Bleh. Big deal.

Rifter · 02-20-2008, 06:23 PM

Ugh, long article. It doesn't sound like any uglies were bumped, though. I gave up reading it, though. It sounds like he was a little too close to her... and gave her a little too much help.

Disgustipated · 02-20-2008, 06:23 PM

Shit, he's pulling a Bill Clinton... BEFORE being president!

He's still better than HILLARY Clinton, however. If she had sex with a female lobbyist...

Johan · 02-20-2008, 06:25 PM

This is much ado about nothing.

Which is fine with me. I brought some kindling!

Deadend · 02-20-2008, 06:27 PM

Didn't McCain also make a big deal over lobbyist reform?

Obviously "reform" was a euphemism.

Seriously though, after saying he doesn't support his own immigration and campaign finance reform bills, the ones he wrote himself, and asking the President to veto the torture bill, I would just assume that the McCain of the past is dead, and has been replaced by Bush III.
