McCain "Scandal" Full Of Holes

Discussion in 'Politics' started by AAAintheBeltway, Feb 21, 2008.

  1. Lanny Davis, a leftwing democrat activist and fervent defender of Bill Clinton, issued an extraordianry statement defending John McCain's actions and criticizing the NYT and Washington Post. According to Davis, who was also involved in the FCC case that is under scrutiny, McCain sent a routine letter to the agency requesting that they act on a matter that had been pending before them for some time. McCain explicitly wrote that he was not advocating for either side, only that they needed to act.

    Davis noted that he had said the same thing to the media at the time of the incident and had reminded them of his previous statement when contacted about the current article. His statements were not part of the article.

  2. It certainly appears that the accusation against Senator McCain does not pass the smell test.
