. . . regarding ongoing Congressional efforts towards bipartisan lobbying reform. From John McCain’s press release of today — a letter to the Honorable Democratic Senator from Illinios, Barak Obama.
(…) We view this as an opportunity to bring transparency and accountability to the Congress, and, most importantly, to show the public that both parties will work together to address our failings.
As I noted, I initially believed you shared that goal. But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party’s effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn’t always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, Senator. [emph mine]
Hoo boy! To paraphrase the little buck-toothed truck in the upcoming Pixar movie Cars, “I’d give two of my left lug-nuts to have seen the face on ol’ Barak when his staffer laid that there letter in front of ‘im!” (db)
