John McCain and his Friends - updates (2)

Digby opines

From Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films:

John McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, and yet he said "I'm the only one the special interests don't give any money to."

--Robert Greenwald [mass e-mail]

Update:
From John Aravosis at Americablog we get Newsweek documenting a discrepancy in McCain's assertions about discussions with lobbyists. John's conclusion:

So McCain said this week that he did not discuss the matter with anyone from Iseman's firm. But in 2002 in a sworn deposition he said he did. So, perjury, liar, or just losing his memory?

Update 2:
From Josh Marshall:

Turns out John McCain is such a scourge of lobbyists everywhere that his senior advisor, GOP lobbyist Charlie Black, is now conducting most of his lobbying work by phone from the Straight Talk Express.

I have to confess that this new detail has vanquished my ability to snark.
