So You Think You Have a Lobbyist Problem
Even the Straight Talk Elevator is infected.
You might want to avoid John McCain's campaign office for a while. It seems the Straight Talk Express is in the middle of an especially bad outbreak of lobbyists. In the last two weeks five campaign staffers have been let go because of lobbying ties, one of which because he was lobbying for the regime of Myanmar. And it might not be over yet. McCain's senior advisor Charles Black is also a lobbyist, but says he's staying.
So how did this happen? Why can't McCain turn around in his own office without bumping into a lobbyist? It turns out, an infestation of lobbyists can happen to anybody. If you suspect that you, or a candidate you love, might be infected with them, you should take action immediately. Just read the following brochure.
